A Piece of Cake / C'est de la tarte (le français)

Practice social distancing and wear a mask :+1:

In the game though avoid eating too much and make sure to drink water and eat fruits, as well as going to the gym or pool

Surprisingly, despite what the game says, water and fruits don’t appear to make a difference. Simply finish the day at a reasonable hunger level and make sure to do at least one exercise activity per day like walking. This is much easier once you get the palace and can just walk in your own garden.

I nearly died after replaying recently since I had forgotten what the minimum requirements were. I wish there was a faster way to advance through the years, with 8 billion dollars there’s not a lot left to do other than walking 6 times every day.

Man out of context that sounds like a statement arguing the futility of the pursuit of wealth

is my save a joke to you?
i cant even know if im full or not

If you stop the catering service whilst your friend is fat, will they still die of malnutrition just as fast as if they were skinny, or does it just contribute to weight loss?

So far, is there some way to use something like a debug mode? Or console command?

If you add:

init -1: 
    python hide:
        config.developer = True

to the start of game/options.rpy, you will enable developer mode in RenPy, allowing access to Developer Tools — Ren'Py Documentation.

The variable names are somewhat obscure as they are (derived from) french, so you might need to look into the code to figure out what is what. game/script*.rpy files are where you’ll find most of what you need.

That sounds more like ‘debug’ in the development sense, as in ‘look at the code and find and remove bugs’, I think they were asking for ‘debug’ in the classic gamer sense, as in ‘cheats’ (which you might be able to do, though in a complicated way, with that info, but it doesn’t seem like it’s the purpose or even easy if at all possible to use that way).
As for debug tools in the ‘cheat mode’ sense, there’s an online save editor you can use to change some stuff, but like the person I’m directly replying to said, the variables are all French/derived from French, so could be confusing/hard to figure out even that way.

This is how I have been doing “debug” in the classic sense, this is my cheat menu. I agree that it’s not very user-friendly, but that’s how I have been doing it.

Edit: to clarify, I use the “Shift-O” console. It allows simple checking of variables (just type ptaa for one of the expansion factors), as well as assignment (ptaa = 10).

Renpy has no cheat mode or screen, unless added by the game maker, for deployment builds of games. Setting debug mode and using the console to manually enter python or renpy statements to alter the game is effectively a self made cheat mode. As pointed out it involves knowing the variables, screens, labels, and functions the game uses. A word of caution here, when using the console to do this you can directly edit things such as to break the game or put it in a loop or place you cant get out of unless you know how to undo what you did in the console. Also note that opening the console pauses the game then lets you directly put commands into the renpy’s engine, depending on how the game is written and what screen your on this can cause bugs in and of itself the way renpy predicatively evaluates the script.

As far as i can tell this game has no cheat mode or menu which is why using the console in debug mode is suggested.

i told my friend to tell the owner if theres a cheat menu soon
i think he said its too early for it
soo i think the next few updates it will be there

the ptaa thing doesn’t seem to do anything, says i’s undefined when I check it, and doesn’t seem to change anything when I set it. Is that something from later in the game (as I just started a new save) that doesn’t get defined until later, or something?

ptaa is defined shortly into a new game (right around when your skin color is picked), it is the boob/chest expansion factor. ptbb is butt, and ptcc is belly. Personally, I suggest reading into the code to figure out what the other variables are, as I don’t have time to create a full guide.

Using the console can have mixed results because of the way the renpy interpreter works and passes things to the python execution engine. The renpy interpreter either translates a renpy comand into python then passes it to the python engine or it just passes the python comand to the python engine. The catch here is if you pause the game because of how renpy predicatively executes code, what the python enigne has for a variable value and what the renpy interpreter has are two different things till renpy merges them. Which is why when you check the console for a variable and its not yet set, whats probably happend is when the game paused the interpreter and engine are not synced and therefore you get results that don’t match.

I learned this the hard way you can see an example i posted here: Can renpys screen object action SetVariable() change a variables that are not used in the screen the action it is called in.

The console is really a debugging tool. Your trying to use it to cheat but have no understanding of what you or it is actually doing, that’s why its disabled by default for all deployment builds.

does anyone have the file for the english translation? everytime i try to download it it says file not found

@smashmaster84: Just download it from the itch.io link in the OP.

everytime i try it only says file not found no matter what version i download

I just tried it, and the download still works. I would guess you’ve a browser issue, excessive blockers, or the site is blocked at your location or ISP?

i had to switch browsers and it worked thank you
