CH5 is now open to fan tier. I'm still working on fixing all the kinks and problems and thanks band tier peeps for letting me know!

Once that's done and out for the public I'll be opening up beta testing. I think I might work on chapter 6 alongside beta testers and do it in parts rather than one full thing to make it easier on me. We'll see! Thanks for all the love everyone has given chapter 5 so far despite that! Enjoyyy.

Hey Amy just an idea for next time and to simplify your job maybe we could send you the bugs via email and set up a trello (or something) so you can keep tracks of issues more easily.

bubgkes

Statistically, there is at least one person who played through this chapter and had no idea that there was a romance bug, just business as usual.

VALENREIGNPOLY#1FAN

i agree, sending them on tumblr makes it difficut to keep track of them

leogrl19

There's also discord as an option if there's already a community/presence there? Speaking from prior beta experience, it really helped having everything in one dedicated channel!

Foxglove

Oh yeah from a beta reader stand point Discord makes sense but I meant for a wider audience. I see people sending bugs on Tumblr and in Patreon comments. Working in game dev myself I can only imagine it must be kind of a nightmare to keep track of.

leogrl19

Fair enough! In just keeping track of things, in general, there's also possible solution of getting a 'community manager' (or several). Whether that be a hired position or volunteer role, I think that'd really help take a lot of load off Amy. And that could easily extend beyond just bug catching (updating master lists, moderating posts, etc.)

TastyPieceOfPastry

Ughghhghhh I wanna know the big secret 😭I feel like literally everyone knows but MC and it's going to feel like such a betrayal, whatever it is.

Night-Triumphantt

I don’t know if you want them to be shared here and if not my bad, I finally got through more of the chapter and during the [SPOILERS] dinner with G’s fam, right before you go, when mc goes back to their room it treats it like ive selected options for drinking to cope despite never having done and continues to do it throughout the dinner, (it didn’t let me choose not to drink) it’s random later if it treats mc like they cope w alcohol or not

Julie

Yeah I felt like both the drinking code and romance code were not right

La vie d'un mouton

Hi! So first let me apologize for the big comment, but I did a code dive on all 5 chapters, took me a while, but I noted every bug and typo I could find. Hope this will help :) I couldnt send it on tumblr bc it's way too big lol. So anyways. Here it is: The stats menu have a couple of bugs. Like when you click on certain options, some disappear, so you have to leave the stats menu and come back. Also, in the lyrics and discography part, when clicking on your audition song, it just make you go back to the main stats menu. (And we never have the option to check our NYC song, idk if it's on purpose) And honeslty just a bunch of weird bugs like that, just go through your stats menu and click on different option, and you will realize at some point that it make no sense, and some option are disappearing or it will put you in the wrong stats page or something. -- I'm not certain about this one, but in the prologue, when talking with Sebastian and Maya outside the venue and Maya tell us she is the one who created the Fandom name "Yeah, it's awesome" cause a -2% to sebstat. I think it's supposed to be a +2% -- In the prologue, after the win, when G come talk to us in private. I think there's a dialogue missing here somewhere? : He/She pushes himself off the wall sauntering over to you, shoving his/her hands in the pockets of the leather jacket he/she now adorns. " The way he/she speaks is casual enough, but something weighs in his/her voice. Something you can't decipher. "Thanks." Because if not, why are we thanking them? And why is there a random quotation mark? --- In the prologue, when August's sister come talk to us for the first time: The option "Listening to this sober is unbearable" is only available if "Drink_alcohol = true". I guess that it's meant to be "Drink_alcohol = false" -- Okay so this one I'm not sure if it's an error or just me who is misunderstanding the scene. But in chapter 1, when Viktor arrive with Blake after our first interview. There's a part that says : Blake's bandmates lean against a car, shielded by Viktor who has his palms up at a seething G. Then two paragraph later it says: It's at that moment G and the band comes out of the building, (...) This doesn't make much sense I think, how was Viktor putting his palms up against a "Seething G" if they weren't out the building yet and didnt realize Blake was there yet? --- In chapter 2, if in the bus with SV when deciding who is going to get the big bed in the bus, there's a variable called "Peacelol" that get put as true when choosing the option "You shrug. You don't have the energy to fight over a bed." But it is not put as true when choosing the option ""Okay" you agree, managing a smile" and although I didnt see what was the purpose of that variable, I would guess that it indicates if we chose peace during that argument, and if it is the case, it should probably be put as true when choosing the "okay" option. -- In chapter 2. When our mother is calling back after we left a messages. There's codes about her saying different dialogue depending on the message we left her, but those don't work and get completely skipped. -- In chapter 2, when the bus arrive at the hotel and Cory enter the bus, meeting the bands for the first time, the sentence "The woman sees him/her and clasps her hands in front of her" get repeated twice in the same paragraph -- In chapter 2, just before the first shoot/gig, we can tell August "Just remember this will be on shelves and act accordingly, you guide, completely serious" and I saw that this give a +5% to playful, I thought this could maybe be a mistake and it's supposed to be -5%?, and then the opposite issue with the dialogue "Want to hold my hand? You tease, wiggling your fingers at them" which give a -5% to playful although I think you meant +5% -- In chapter 2, during the first gig/shoot, when you do the shooting with only your band, there's an error in coding if you choose the fifth moodboard. All the different looks have a special dialogue (that works I'm pretty sure), but not the fifth one. You wrote "If (aesthetic = \"fifth look\") But it should say "If (aesthetic = \"fifth\") for it to work, I think -- Chapter 2, the confessional #2 doesn't disappear when the next one appear -- In chapter 2, when we are at the Queen's theater before the rehearsal talking to O, the dialogue choice "You and your eternal wisdom missed out on loads of fun in the studio" give a -2% sevstat, which I don't think is supposed to be here (?) and it also give both a -2% ostat and a +2% to ostat which is contradictory. -- In chapter 2, when at the viewing party, Triple offer us a shot if we say we wish we could be drunk. The dialogue choice "I can't. I have to stay sober." cause a -5% career and also a +5% career, which is contradictory -- In chapter 2, when at the viewing party, Triple throw up on our shoes. The dialogue choice "Dude, what the fuck?" cause a +5% kind, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be a -5% kind or a tough +5% -- At the very beginning of chapter 3, theres a part of your code that appear twice. Once at the very start and then again after the first choice, I doubt that it was done on purpose. It's this whole thing that appear twice: *if (singing_style = \"rage\") or (singing_style = \"jump\")" " You feel it now, overwhelming you as your body starts to move with the beat. You don't know what it is that makes you want to completely go wild, but it's just how you [i]feel.[/i] On the stage, there's no logic. Just feeling." "*if (singing_style = \"nothing\") or (singing_style = \"emotional\")" 17 : "You feel it now, overwhelming you as your body starts to sway. You're already closing your eyes, leaning into that feeling. " "*if singing_style = \"choreo\"" 20 : "You feel it now, overwhelming you as you start to dance. You're already falling into that feeling of being one with the music, the way you always do when you perform. " -- In chapter 3 everytime there is a "If singaboutcheating = true", it doesnt work. So it completely skip all the things about Blake's reaction and MC's own thoughts on the situation. I'm not sure about if you choose to sing about the fight or if you sing a no drama song. I just tested the cheating one -- In chapter 3, after our show, when we go to the bathroom during the 5min break, just before the results are announced. The choice "I don't want mid-tier success. I want fame. Real, big fame" cause a -5% to fame_hungry, which is probably meant to be +5 -- In chapter 3, when reading the gossip newspaper, there is a code error. You wrote : "Are Rowan Hart and ${stagename} Dating?" which mean that if you don't have a stage name, it shows up as "Are Rowan Hart and Dating?" for us. -- In chapter 3, when in the private plane and speaking to E. If you choose the option "I'm not a big fan of heights, to be honest...", it seems like there's a word missing in that sentence there : "E let's out a tiny as she follows your gaze." A tiny what? A tiny smile? A tiny laugh? -- At the beginning of chapter 4, if checking social media, you get a stat check for >=60% loved, but I chose all the choices I saw that gave a boost on the loved stats and was only at 25%, I doubt the 60% is attainable. So I don't think it's possible to pass that stat check -- On chapter 4, when deciding if you should post something to reply to the haters. If you choose "Make a post to your fans appealing to their sympathy" there's a "goto dontcheck" which put the choice again, and put you in a possible infinite loop if you keep choosing that choice. So it forces you to choose something else. -- In chapter 4, when talking to O about what could be the next advantage, there is this choice : "Whatever it is, I'm going to work hard and just focus on the tour" that cause : if career < 50 "In other words, doing what you've been doing" O says, giving you a humorous smile. "Good. Better to stay focused." Which is supposed to be if career > 50 and not < 50 -- In chapter 4, when asking O if they needs a hug. There's a typo : O raises his/her hands, and you pause, our arms lowering an inch. Should be "your arms" and not "our arms" I suppose. -- The chapter 3 confession 3 doesnt disappear either when the next one is unlocked. -- In chapter 4, when doing the private-but-not-so-private talk with August, the dialogue choice "It doesn't bother me anymore. You shrug. Things happen for a reason" cause a +5% to expressive, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be a -5% -- Immediately after that last bug, the next dialogue choice "Well, the only thing that matters is whether you're on board" cause a +10% to augstat but then it cause a -5. I suppose the -5 shouldn't be there. -- This time, it's the chapter 4, confessional #1 that doesn't disappear when the next one unlock. -- In chapter 4, when at the bar with Sebastian and a fan come talk to us. You wrote : If have_stagename = false "You're ${stagename}, right?" Which obviously doesn't work and give us "You're ,right?" for us -- In chapter 4, if you don't go to Triple's party. When August come to our room, drunk. Choosing to help them give +5% to augustdistant and not helping them give -5% to Augustdistant. I supposed it should be the opposite. -- Just after the last bug, if you decide to help them, choosing "Why did you have to annoy me of all people, you scowl" give -5% to augustdistant, it should probably be +5% -- In chapter 4, during the first official day of songwriting, Misfit Alley come talk to us and Q, more specifically, tell us that they are overshadowed by Griffin. Choosing "You want everyone to be equal in your band. It doesn't matter that you're the singer" cause a -5% to attached, which should be +5% -- So I'm not sure what exactly is the error in coding here, but in chapter 4, when writing near the pool, I saw that there is some different text if you play guitar. I did say that I played both type of guitar in chap 1 or 2 (I don't remember exactly), but I didnt get the text saying I was using my guitar. -- In chapter 4, when at the pool with Dakota and G, theres a code error in one line: if (smoke) "That sounds... like such a good idea. You nod. Redemption. Make sense. It should say : "if (smokegd)" not "if (smoke)". Because of that, player who chose to have a MC that is a smoker, but refused to smoke the weed will still have that line which is only supposed to appear if high. -- In chapter 4, just before listening to the demo we have to perform. If choosing to raise our chin at Viktor, the next possible choice "You nod at him in silent understanding" cause a -5% to Viktor. Maybe it's on purpose, but looking at the following text, I think you maybe meant it to be +5%? -- In chapter 5, you forgot to remove the romance temps code. So the romance points are all at 4 -- Early in chapter 5, if you have "positiveblakesevenhelped" or "blakenegativesong", there is a random "(Lyric lyric lyric)" written which I suppose you didn't mean to leave there -- In chapter 5, if our band win with a perfect score. The third confessional doesnt disappear when the fifth appear. You wrote in your code that the 4th is the one to be put as "false", but that fourth confessional only appear if we lose. So you should code the third one to be put as false. -- Same issue with the fifth confessional. It's only put as "false" if you do the face off, if you don't, it stays there. -- In the 7th confessional, there's a typo. You wrote "We're upse to be going (...)". Should be "Upset" -- In chapter 5, just after arriving in Ohio (right after the picture announcing it), theres a typo: "You spend the ride hinking of Orion leaving the tour (...)" should be "thinking" -- In chapter 5, after learning that young and reckless will be doing a podcast, Blake insult Seven. Choosing "You stifle your laughter" cause a -5% to playful And choosing "You watch with a serious look. You don't find this funny" cause a +5% to playful It's probably supposed to be the opposite. -- In chapter 5, when watching Breakfast With America which is talking about Slow Crawl's love triangle. There's a typo : "A part of you grimaces at the sight of a bad that's no longer part of the show" should be "band" -- In chapter 5, if we take sev's side in Blake/Seven argument, they will come thank us. If we choose the option "You perk up and smile", the next text get repeated twice. (The one about Seven not moving away from our nudge, but being uncomfortable) -- Directly after that last error, theres a weird sentence that doesn't make much sense in the next paragraph: "You know how to hit it where it hurts, like And this isn't the first time." It's caused by having a positive relationship towards them which start the sentence by "And this isnt the first time", while the previous text before that check end with a random "like", as if a part of that previous sentence was missing. -- In chapter 5, when we learn what the challenge will be and that we get separated from our group, there is a typo : "Ecah one of you are on your own" should be "Each" -- In chapter 5, when choosing "Input lyrics" when writing the first line for the face-off song, it doesnt give up the option to write anything and it just skip ahead. Same thing happen farther away in the story when trying to input the second line -- In chapter 5, when at the music school. G argue with Cory and theres a typo after: "It's odd trying ot imagine a singer like G during a humbler time". Should be "to" -- In chapter 5, when singing on stage with Seven. If we input our own lyrics for the third line. The code is written as "Input_text old_band_duet_linetwo" which cause the second line to get erased and replaced by that one. So we lose our second line. -- In chapter 5, if you didn't have a perfect score in NYC (and so you don't have the session with Roxanne), after the call with Jazzy where she tell us her wedding's date. There's a random code that set Seven romance to 10 and Blake romance to 3. -- In chapter 5, when at G's family's dinner. The second time the waiter ask us if we want something to drink. We're supposed to have different choices depending on our previous substance use coping. But you wrote in your code "drinkcope >=3", which isnt the name of the stat. It should be "Substance_cope" And in this exact same line of code, you put the choice "I need it more now than ever. Please." unselectable while "No thanks I'm good" selectable. Which I guess you meant to do the opposite since those choices (are supposed to) appear if you use alcohol as a way to cope. -- In chapter 5, if discussing with Blake outside the restaurant, there's a type in "reconnaissance" which you wrote as "reconnassiance" two time -- In chapter 5, if discussing with Blake outside the restaurant, but refuse to skip with them, one sentence get repeated twice : "When you do, you take a moment to gather yourself" -- In chapter 5, when leaving the dinner if we chose to not skip, there's a sentence that says "Someone elbows you somehow, and you're pushed against" and then you wrote in your code that if the player won the perfect score the sentence is finished with "your security guard", but there's no code for a player who didn't win the perfect score, so the sentence just get cut off. -- In chapter 5, again after leaving the dinner, when you finally enter the car, theres a stat check for bornstar set at 50. At this point I chose pretty much all the choices that could give me more bornstar point and I was still only at 25%, I doubt having 50% at this point is possible. -- In chapter 5, when talking to our band about us getting invited to Griffin's dinner. If we choose "You're glad they didn't go" there's a typo in the next sentence: "You felt liek you're own person in a way". It should be "like" -- In chapter 5, right after the previous error, when checking the news about MC falling, there's some coding error. You wrote "If (paps = \"fu\") and (paps = \"angry\")" and did the same thing right after with =ignore to both. Im pretty sure you meant to write the second "paps" as "paps5", because the stats "paps" can't be equal to two different word. -- In chapter 5, when reading the article on Victoria. If your vfreedom stat is lower than 50, you have some text mentionning that you are glad her career is going well. I'm pretty sure you meant to put that trigger as >50 and not the opposite. But maybe its me who is misunderstanding that part!! -- In chapter 5, when reading O's article. You switched up the text depending on their gender. You wrote in your code that if they are male then they are called Oriana Quinn and married a man, and if they're female then they are called Orion Quinn and married a woman. -- In chapter 5, when at the festival and G is performing, there is a typo in this sentence: "It's pure luck that G didn't come up at the same time s this cast." It should be "as" I suppose. -- In chapter 5, there's a typo after performing at the festival, when Craig and Jeremy are talking to MC and G ask where Dakota is, there's a space missing between G's name and "faces" -- Not sure if it's on purpose, but in chapter 5, if we have a passing score, but decide to go backstage at the festival the stat "metcarrigan" is put as "true", but if we have a perfect score and perform it's not put as "true" although we still meet him. -- In chapter 5, after the performance at the festival, when L come talk to us, there's a code so he refer themselves as "not a big duet girl" if theyre a female and "not a big duet guy" if theyre male, that code is not working and the "guy/girl" doesnt appear. -- In chapter 5, at the party after the festival, when dancing. If your soft lock is august, at the end of their special part theres a sentence about Devyn storming in nearly in tears. But if your soft lock is someone else, that sentence isnt there, so the next text is confusing because we don't have the context of Devyn storming in. -- Right after that last bug, theres a typo in this sentence : "Rowan starts changing for Devyn to chug". It should be "chanting" I suppose. -- In chapter 5, when partying after the festival, the code to get the bar scene with our RO is not done very well, I think. For exemple, since my stats with O were higher than with seven, but I had no romance points with O, it gave me the "nonebar" scene. But Seven's stats can't go higher than 82%, so of course O's stats is higher. I was little sad loll, but if that's on purpose, then please nevermind. -- In chapter 5, when at the club with G and their friends. After either saying that you're disappointed V didnt cheat or just not comment on the situation, theres one special sentence if you romance G. But you wrote in your code : "if (g_romance >=0)" It should be >0, not equal. -- In chapter 5, still at the club and with G's friend, there is a typo in this sentence: "Whrn you lock eyes, he/she grins." Should be "When" -- In chapter 5, after the club if you don't go with G, when walking outside theres two typo in this sentence : "people loiter and filter outside whule you and your members sit on the curb waiting for your car to arrive." "People" should be capitalized and it should be "while". -- Not long after that last typo, there is another one in this sentence: "With all the stuff that's coming out, I feel like we neeed to work even harder." It should be "need". --

leogrl19

How Awesome of you to do this (I'm sure it was time-consuming)! ❤️🫡

La vie d'un mouton

I started when chap5 first came out for the band tiers lol, but I've been busy with work and uni, so it took me longer than I thought 🥲

Mr_Sheep

How do you get Leadership to 54 before the first performance so you can give an inspirational speech?

rosie!!!

THAT AUGUST ROOM BUG HAS BUGGED ME FOR FOREVER!! thank u for ur service 🫡

Jord

I think the first choice that gives Leader points is this one ->Give them words of encouragement. (Leader +5) That should bump you to 54 which should then let you pick "You usually give the inspirational speeches"

Mr_Sheep

I did that, but it only got me up to 52, which apparently isn't enough.

Jord

A lot of things have already been reported but I spotted this passage during the duet that I thought was worth a mention because I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong or if it's a code thing: >Her eyes fall on your hands as she sings, the gaze burning your wrist like she's searching for the tattoo behind your sleeve. You feel goosebumps run up your spine.< My MCs have their tattoos removed, so this might be worth a check in the code? Or, again, it could be the way I'm reading it, like Seven's just trying to will the tattoo into existence.

leogrl19

Is it a bug - or is it just: SEVEN? LOL (I could see this both ways, to be fair - since 7 would know your MC removed their initials, the 'searching' could be a: 'searching for what was lost' vibe. The numerical is dramatic.)

Gluttony__i

Stumbled upon this masterpiece a few days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for your hard work, Amy. Godspeed for chapter 6!

OMKitten

omg ur doing God's work. if you can dive in, can you also see the lyrics Sev write for MC in a romantic sense? I believe right now we can only get the lyrics that Blake wrote regardless of whom we chose to write for, ive been dying to know what 7 wrote for romantic MCs since band tier's release

La vie d'un mouton

Yep! Here's the lyrics Sev can write : Parent's love song: I can't forget the way you held me All those years ago, innocent and green Lower my voice, show my face less Would that make you love me more? Romance song: Thought back so much I've made fake memories Held so long I forgot my enemy Can't settle the score, I've fallen too deep I'm the forever fool, this love is the end of me Non romance positive song: Peek over the fortress I myself built Waiting for my fires to finally die For the first time in my life I ask again and again if every hello must end with a goodbye Non romance negative song: Drew the jester card, played you for a fool Winner by forfeit, had no idea what I agreed to Four knives to the back, cut to the bone Right at home with my enemies, I can never atone

OMKitten

I found it right before the notifications but thank you so much. One more thing I would like to ask, but I'm not sure if it was in the deleted demo/before-revamped version but I vaguely remember you can jump into the water (pool scene with D and G) fully clothed then Dakota can peel the wet cloths off of you but then when I went back and played the scene I can no longer get that version. Did you happen to remember this part or not?

missjosepo

Orion and the pillow🙈🙈🙈

Zizel

Me when Amy forces me to decide which RO I prefer (I have had 5 chapters to decide but don't they know they are contractually obligated to let me pretend I can have them all) >: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA There are literally so many POVs I need from this chapter. I am feral. I am dying. My MC is so not a girl's girl yall *cries* Seven was so nice to us this chapter 😭. I know the standards are like LOW but they agreed to SING with MC. I don't care that it was for charity, lemme be delulu, they want MC bad. Seems like MC is being scouted for solo stuff. Truly getting their main character moment over here. My pet theory is that G chose them to basically be the next big thing so they can get Viktor off their ass and that is why they need them/have helped them cheat. Ditching dinner with Blake and fucking around with them was so fun, but it seems you need to stick throughout dinner to get G's scene at the end, so sadly won't have it be in my "canon" run. Still LOVE LOVE LOVE the branching over here. Amy hast blessed us with a masterpiece once more. Thank you Amy, I hope you are doing well💖

mrugi

I couldn't soft lock g...

jax

Can I just ask how do you code dive? I want to check stats to see how to get specific scenes, but the mygame/scenes/startup.txt isn't working for me

⋆° 🀦 𝑅𝑜𝒷𝒾𝓃 🀦 °⋆

This may have been answered but does anyone know if you can have an impact on the winner of CH5's challenge? You can obviously attempt to make them look good/bad but is it possible to choose options that ends in the band you wrote for winning?

Night-Triumphantt

Also just a suggestion, I think the lock in shld dictate who you end up seeing at the bar later instead of a straight stat check (though it was really funny to get a call from Orion LOL)

leogrl19

As in: Underground Wastebasket or Soft Violence winning the competition? I haven't played my writing for SV playthrough yet (waiting for public update), but I don't think either do from what I've seen. And I haven't seen anyone else mention they could win, either. It's always been Disaster Street if your band doesn't win. (but - I could be wrong!)

smithery

I tested it on the ch 4 build and it works fine, i think it's bugged in the ch 5 build.

Julie

I played the public version of the game that came out yesterday. All of the dialog choices to flirt with Blake were gone and it said I hadn't met two of the ROs in the relationships page (Victoria and Sebastian) despite being in chapter 3

saunder

LMAO I noticed there was a romance bug because august, blake and seb werent as in love with me as they usually are

ana

hey amy, there's still a bug with inputting your own lyrics for the face off challenge! whenever you choose to input your own lyrics, it just moves on to the next page.

pajusche .

They were all moved to COG demos, look up the Masterpost posts, they have the working links.

whitneys_pet

Idid find them, thank you so much!
