When you're dreaming of fucking Sarah's ass and that bitch Ruth interrupts, it's self delusion not self denial. Denial would be Not fucking her ass in your dream. Otherwise Magnificent game. Only a few errors here and there.
I'm not aware of any such bug. Might be another quest interfering. Try looking in all the other rooms. If you're still stuck then you'll need to ask on our Discord.
- Android: secure your saves to a different location so you won't lose them, uninstall the old version of the game then install the update. lastly move your saves back. if you're installing for the first time, make sure you have enough free space. Android save file location: android/data/altosandherdone.theheadmaster/files/saves
How do I get the fourth influence I need to start changing rules, I have the one from the sci teacher, 1 from Miss Potts, and 1 from the history teacher
You can get multiple influence points from each teacher. Just follow the staff quest logs. Also be sure to punish Debbie and get points from Miss Newman.
I played for a while and still cant talk to Ruth and when i go to a lake at weekend groundskeeper just sleep and i dont know how to move forward :c Only staff mission expect Ruth i have is "Wait for Miss Chang to ask for futher assistance." but i nothing is happenig. Idk did i miss something or what :'c
The best place to ask these questions is over on our Discord. A lot of these questions are answered in the FAQ and there is a walkthrough posted there as well. If your still stuck then someone can answer your questions.
Also, be sure to read the deleted files in the recycle bin of the headmasters computer.
Talk to the groundskeeper in the morning on a weekday to initiate the former headmaster quest. Speak to Miss Chang during the evening when she is hanging out in her classroom to see if she needs anything, and if she is currently requesting a lab assistant, try checking around your office during the day to see if you can hire someone.
The 2021 Halloween Special is something else! Absolutely! I love how developer made the whole story around Debbie. Aaand... I gues it realy hard to be Debbie XD So many tamptations, so many reasons to forget about rules... and still she somehow manages to do the right thing. And, ofcourse, I like the reward she got after that, she realy deserved that threesome of her desires :D
I totaly agree with Georgia-Man93 in the comments for special - she could become a realy cool headmistress and that could be great to see someday a sequel of this game with Debbie as MC in other private school ;)
Maybe next time you could word things a bit better? Most of the time simply politely pointing people towards the dev's patreon page is more than enough.
Helping people without treating them poorly is a good way to help out, but treating them poorly may drive away people that potentially want to help support the game themselves. Even unintentional toxicity can potentially ruin a games image, leading to the game being abandoned. I don't want that to happen with this game, so please be a bit more diplomatic if you're going to attempt to help people, please?
Agreed. Most don't search other places for information that much. People browsing here always expect that every updates are shown in this site and its perfectly normal
lol calm down buddy, you may have time to read through pages of comments but not me, I enjoy a good wank as much as the next guy but I do have a real life in the real world... you should probably get help if as a 3rd party someone asking someone else a question actually stirred annoyance in you... noone asked you in the first place you loser fuck off 😂
Please calm down everyone. I've banned Donox from this forum for his rude language. There's no need for it. Dreamavoider, I appreciate you sticking up for me, although I recommend just ignoring the trolls.
Love the game. There really is a lot of content already and I love the intertwining and intersecting story lines. I did encounter some soft locks. I think it's possible to miss the event early on that allows you buy the cream - I think it's a spying event that might disappear or get overridden if you don't act on it fast enough. It locks you out of two characters' progression.
I'm not sure how you got into that situation. You can always add the ointment with the console. Press shift and o. Then type the following and press enter.
The dev's patreon page has listed a halloween event update scheduled for release soon. I don't know the details as I am not a patron, and the post is locked behind a patron only tag, but the post was created on Oct. 24.
The next update is going to be bigger than usual so it's taking longer. It's still 2 to 3 months away. I just released a short but sweet Halloween update to tide people over, which is out now on our Patreon and is well worth a playthrough.
this game is amazing ive been playing it for a while now and i was just wondering are any other kinks and themes going to be explored because i personally really enjoyed the tickle scene in he game and would love to see some foot stuff
(not trying to push i would just like to know if anything like that is on the roadmap
I picked this game up about a week or so ago looking and reading the concept and thinking it to be a very interesting game, I played others like this before and though most of them honestly were very lackluster or just simply died in the process of them being build. However I honestly really do got to say that i fallen in love with this game inparticular especially with the characters themselves. So many of them are so well written and so well thought out and you can clearly honestly see the way they develop as you begin your training and working on them. Rachel in particular is honestly my favorite thus far and I do hope that once these character's stories finish getting developed that we would be able to see them still going around interacting and getting little updates on how they interact when you develop other girl's stories. Like for obvious reasons having Debbie popping in and out in interactions where you would probably be given the choice to stop another student from bullying or harming another but if you end up getting Debbie to her Specific Role then Debbie now pops in and you get to just sit back and relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Development does seem to be pretty slow but honestly compared to other games and devs that I seen in the past it does really seem like you aren't just twiddling your thumbs in the background waiting months to do another 0.0.1 that has like 5 words added. Your updates actually have not only mass in them but quality. I haven't ran into a single bug nor have I really run into any typos honestly, everything has been completely smooth no crashes no grafical errors no options that are hidden nothing everything truly has just been smooth sailing and i really appreciate that.
Keep up the good steady work and I can't wait to see how the rest of the game plays out throughout the development
Each rule change shows up after a specific event that you complete. Some are merely time based, and happen after so many days have passed in game. Others happen after getting rules changed so that you can proceed with specific punishments, which then triggers the new rule option.
I recommend working on all of the quests available, and if a quest cannot be progressed due to a rule not having changed yet, move on to other quests. Everything happens in due time, it might just take a while.
do favors for the other teachers. the science teacher is the only one that almost never goes to her apartment, the others you can go to their apartments at night to get their quests.
I have been a silent accountless reader for a while now and logged in weekly for any news on the next update and am glad to know this masterpiece is still in development please keep up the great work altosandherdone this game is brilliant simply a piece of art at least in my opinion thanks for all your work looking forward to the updates to come.
Super great game. I ran into a few glitches though. Amy's final quest glitched out on me and didn't occur; Faye kept coming into the office the entire week instead for some reason even though I didn't trigger the classroom discipline event with her. Also, one of the rule changes glitched out when Rachel fell asleep on a Friday morning before the meeting and got triggered but never appeared.
It would seem getting in the lake on Saturday mornings by convincing Amy to take her top off doesn't actually increase Popularity by 1 like it says it does.
This game is like the most perfect sick and dark AVN. It really encapsulates the feeling of enjoying the perversion but feeling guilty about it. The MC is a straight up sociopath, but you control him so what does that make you? The kind of story that could only be told properly in the form of a video game.
I'm having issues loading the game. When I first download and install, I can open the game and it runs fine. But once I close it and try to launch it again later, it just sits on a blank screen. I'm playing on an android tablet. Any suggestions
Have you checked the open apps section of your tablet to see if it is still running the black screen in the background? I had that problem with one of my old phones, it would keep a closed application running in the background and I would have to force quit the app to restart it. If you aren't sure how to get to that screen, a shut down and restart of your tablet might be in order.
That point is fairly far into the current story. There are a few things you have to do in order to progress that far. Opening the lake and then visiting it in the morning to talk to the groundskeeper, getting the groundskeeper to take you to where he found the previous headmaster, talking to the science teacher to gain access to all of the old headmaster's files on the computer. I believe there may be a few more steps, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
Yes. You have to continue the quest to find out what happened to the previous headmaster. Open the lake and talk to the groundskeeper in the morning, and eventually the quest will progress. It happens after a certain point in the rest of the story, but I can't remember exactly when. Also, if you haven't already started discipline training Claire, you should start doing that as well, as there is more story that is locked behind that as well.
i lost my last save due to an accidental wipe of my computer, and was very close to finishing the game. does anyone have a copy of a nearly complete or complete playthrough of it?
I save my game after every day (unless nothing happend for a while). You can use my saves to start somewhere in between where you like or the last one where everything is unlocked except the end with enough grades.
Thanks for your saves, I meet the same situation like the Caughtdog, I,ve download the saves you provide, but how could I use the saves on my computer? I can't find the right files directory on my computer, the PC which runs the Windows 10 OS. Could you help me, thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot, I've reload the playthrough where when I lost before; by the way I find the same saves can work in Android well just like Windows, I could play it on all my device by synchronizing the "saves" folder. Thanks again.
The more discipline you apply publicly, the higher your discipline rating. Explore everywhere every time you can, it's not uncommon to find situations in the halls and gym entrance that can be used to increase discipline. Also watch out for situations that can increase your popularity at the cost of discipline. Sure, the increased popularity might seem nice, but not at the cost of discipline that sometimes accompanies it, such as walking around on the weekends and not telling the girls to keep the volume down on the music. Once your discipline gets high enough, you can go back to working on popularity, as you should already have enough discipline to unlock new rules, which in turn grants more discipline points.
Buying certain items to make punishments easier. Or look in the quest log for specific personal goals for a girl. Filling all bars in a corporal punishment will level her up.
Coding isn't really the time consuming part, it's the rendering and storyboarding. Some of the renders that I've done in the past took quite a while, even with multiple computers acting as a render farm in order to speed up the process.
Given that each update has as many words of dialogue as a short novel, plus a thousand or so new images and dozens of animations all made by one person. I really don't think you could do it any quicker. It takes probably 10-12 hours work for me for every minute of gameplay. Animations take even longer. The amount of work that goes into making something like this is insane. I'm working hard on the next update but it's still a couple of months away. That's just the way it is. Complaining here won't make the update come any faster.
Exactly my point. I've done renders that even utilizing a render farm took over 6 hours for one render. Granted those were much more detailed than what you have in your game, but I was also utilizing probably $50,000 USD worth of computers for a single render. I very much doubt you have that amount of computing power at your disposal. Assuming your have a similar amount of processing power available as I currently have, I wouldn't be surprised if a single render for an animation sequence took you between 6 and 7 hours with your current models, barring any inconsistencies in the final product.
The writing is something that I don't have any comparable experience with, as I am not a writer myself. However, I wouldn't be surprised at all if just the writing portion itself takes roughly a month or two to finish by itself.
People just need to learn to be patient. A finished product can only be as good as the amount of time spent creating it allows, and you can't rush things like this. Keep up the good work altosandherdone, and rest assured knowing that many of the people interested in your creation are more than willing to wait for a good update rather than a shitty one.
That is what a render farm is. A render farm uses the cpu and gpu of each computer in the farm to distribute the load, allowing for more rendering threads to be processed at once. An effective farm can take a project that would take a single computer 24 hours, and can cut that down to 4-5 hours depending on the processing power of each computer in the farm.
Edit: I just noticed you said supporters collective cpu's. That would be extremely expensive to do, as the bandwidth consumption would be insane. A render farm is normally multiple computers in one building (usually all in the same room) on the same LAN network so that you aren't having to send insane amounts of data through the internet. Also, the more varied the processing power of the computers in the farm, the worse of a farm it is, as the host computer has to divide up the threads to send to each computer, and multiple processing speeds would increase the host load. Too much variation in processing power can actually make the rendering process take longer. Most render farms are purpose built, with each computer built with identical specs to minimize this load.
I don't remember that particular part of the story very well, but I'll do my best to give some advice and hope it works. If you want to progress a specific girl, check every area at every opportunity. Some events trigger only on certain days of the week, at a specific time of day, while doing a specific activity. If you aren't sure about a specific event, try saving before each action for an entire week, and reloading the save if you do not get the event you are hunting for. I know it's a lot of trial and error, but for some events it's the easiest way to do it.
If you are talking about increasing a girl's level after a punishment event, save before the punishment and try various things in order to reach max on each punishment stat, reloading (or hitting the restart from beginning button) if you don't reach the stats required by the end of the punishment. Some punishment's require various things to be purchased online before you can succeed in maxing out the stats as well, so check the online shop.

When you're dreaming of fucking Sarah's ass and that bitch Ruth interrupts, it's self delusion not self denial. Denial would be Not fucking her ass in your dream. Otherwise Magnificent game. Only a few errors here and there.
Could it be that you can't spy on Cassandra while she is in debbies room?
The Quest says it should be possible, but the game says nobody is there.
I'm not aware of any such bug. Might be another quest interfering. Try looking in all the other rooms. If you're still stuck then you'll need to ask on our Discord.
How do I play version 0.11.1 without losing what i already have on 0.10.1?
From our FAQ: with every new update the following holds true:
- Windows: no need to overwrite your old game, just unpack and play. saves carry over automatically
- Mac: You may need to follow these steps: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac, saves carry over just like windows.
- Android: secure your saves to a different location so you won't lose them, uninstall the old version of the game then install the update. lastly move your saves back. if you're installing for the first time, make sure you have enough free space. Android save file location: android/data/altosandherdone.theheadmaster/files/saves

Someone know why i cant have more that 50 grades and discipline? :c
The stats are locked at 50 until you reach chapter 2. Just follow the main quests.
Ruth is pain in the ass, thanks for the answer :D
I played for a while and still cant talk to Ruth and when i go to a lake at weekend groundskeeper just sleep and i dont know how to move forward :c Only staff mission expect Ruth i have is "Wait for Miss Chang to ask for futher assistance." but i nothing is happenig.

Thank you Altos&Herdone for this fun event! :)
Wish you guys have compressed file version..
It's already exceed 4Gb..
Bet it might reach 9GB when finish 😓
Really like this game but if to big,it will be impossible to me for download it 😓
Are you ever updating this again ?
As Althos told us - and more than one time - he is working on a bigger update for version 0.12; it will be ready in one or two, maybe three months.
In addition there was a halloween update two weeks ago.
Sometimes it helps to read stuff, you know? It clearly avoids asking questions that have already been answered.
Maybe next time you could word things a bit better? Most of the time simply politely pointing people towards the dev's patreon page is more than enough.

I have issues with the MacOS version 0.11.1Public-mac
When starting it gets me the error message:
"I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
Before loading the script.
Exception: Couldn't find file '._video.rpi'.
-----
"TheHeadmaster.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/renpy/loader.py", line 649, in transfn
raise Exception("Couldn't find file '%s'." % name)
Exception: Couldn't find file '._video.rpi'.
what is it supposed to be?
Did you extract all the files before trying to run the game?
i extracted the zip and got TheHeadmaster.app
To be honest I'm not sure what would cause that. A quick search on google suggests redownloading and trying again might work.
as a solution for a similar problem i downloaded the itch app and installed it from there, so now it starts (even standalone it's working now)
Works for me on an M1, I haven't seen that error?
Love the game. There really is a lot of content already and I love the intertwining and intersecting story lines. I did encounter some soft locks. I think it's possible to miss the event early on that allows you buy the cream - I think it's a spying event that might disappear or get overridden if you don't act on it fast enough.

have_ointment = True
how can fix the swimming pool? i can't find a way to open a swimming pool
Opening the swimming pool takes a lot of time and patience, its unlocked late in the current story, and costs quite a bit of money.
can i ask 1 more? how can go in the Dorms thanks
i think is not possible in this version :/
This version entering the dorms is not available. Doing so requires a rule change that has not yet made it into the game.
This game is sooooo amazing.Can't wait for the update
how can i install it?
Just download zip, unpack whole folder wherever you want and double click on TheHedmaster.exe
have fun ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When is the next update?
I really have to applaud the creators. This game is too effing amazing
I'm the only one who didn't get the oil for +2 pleasure ? I can't even move on because of that.
It seems so.
You get the oil in Rachel's storyline by spying on her room after punishing her in your office.
Great game.
Keep up the good work.
sooo....we gonna get a new version soon? cause this is just sitting on my computer begging for new content
The dev's patreon page has listed a halloween event update scheduled for release soon. I don't know the details as I am not a patron, and the post is locked behind a patron only tag, but the post was created on Oct. 24.
If I recall correctly there's supposed to be a public release this month sometime.

Will updates affect current progress in the game or can updates be installed and maintain the current level/achievements?
Old saves will be compatible with the new version.

I also masturbate
best regards,

who doesn't masturbate. its nature
how do i get other options for the school board
Each rule change shows up after a specific event that you complete. Some are merely time based, and happen after so many days have passed in game. Others happen after getting rules changed so that you can proceed with specific punishments, which then triggers the new rule option.
I recommend working on all of the quests available, and if a quest cannot be progressed due to a rule not having changed yet, move on to other quests. Everything happens in due time, it might just take a while.
thanks, I see you alot you're always helping somebody lol
I try to anyways. Sometimes I can only give vague help as I don't know the full answer, but I can try to point people in the right direction.
how improve influence
do favors for the other teachers. the science teacher is the only one that almost never goes to her apartment, the others you can go to their apartments at night to get their quests.
I have been a silent accountless reader for a while now and logged in weekly for any news on the next update and am glad to know this masterpiece is still in development please keep up the great work altosandherdone this game is brilliant simply a piece of art at least in my opinion thanks for all your work looking forward to the updates to come.
Super great game. I ran into a few glitches though. Amy's final quest glitched out on me and didn't occur; Faye kept coming into the office the entire week instead for some reason even though I didn't trigger the classroom discipline event with her. Also, one of the rule changes glitched out when Rachel fell asleep on a Friday morning before the meeting and got triggered but never appeared.

That point is fairly far into the current story. There are a few things you have to do in order to progress that far. Opening the lake and then visiting it in the morning to talk to the groundskeeper, getting the groundskeeper to take you to where he found the previous headmaster, talking to the science teacher to gain access to all of the old headmaster's files on the computer. I believe there may be a few more steps, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
Yes. You have to continue the quest to find out what happened to the previous headmaster. Open the lake and talk to the groundskeeper in the morning, and eventually the quest will progress. It happens after a certain point in the rest of the story, but I can't remember exactly when. Also, if you haven't already started discipline training Claire, you should start doing that as well, as there is more story that is locked behind that as well.
i lost my last save due to an accidental wipe of my computer, and was very close to finishing the game. does anyone have a copy of a nearly complete or complete playthrough of it?
I save my game after every day (unless nothing happend for a while). You can use my saves to start somewhere in between where you like or the last one where everything is unlocked except the end with enough grades.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/u0rcboetu7fkpp1/Saves+The+Headmaster.zip/file
thanks! it would have taken way too long to build back up to where i was before
Thanks for your saves, I meet the same situation like the Caughtdog, I,ve download the saves you provide, but how could I use the saves on my computer? I can't find the right files directory on my computer, the PC which runs the Windows 10 OS. Could you help me, thanks a lot.
2 options:
Bottem left search bar windows 10 typ:
%appdata%
open folders renpy (here are all the saves of any renpy game) and then open the head master file. Put the saves in there.
Or
The folder you showed, open game and there should also be a saves folder. pop them in there.
Thanks a lot, I've reload the playthrough where when I lost before; by the way I find the same saves can work in Android well just like Windows, I could play it on all my device by synchronizing the "saves" folder. Thanks again.
with public punishments
The more discipline you apply publicly, the higher your discipline rating. Explore everywhere every time you can, it's not uncommon to find situations in the halls and gym entrance that can be used to increase discipline. Also watch out for situations that can increase your popularity at the cost of discipline. Sure, the increased popularity might seem nice, but not at the cost of discipline that sometimes accompanies it, such as walking around on the weekends and not telling the girls to keep the volume down on the music. Once your discipline gets high enough, you can go back to working on popularity, as you should already have enough discipline to unlock new rules, which in turn grants more discipline points.
Buying certain items to make punishments easier. Or look in the quest log for specific personal goals for a girl. Filling all bars in a corporal punishment will level her up.
i couldve updated the game already since the coding is easy
Coding isn't really the time consuming part, it's the rendering and storyboarding. Some of the renders that I've done in the past took quite a while, even with multiple computers acting as a render farm in order to speed up the process.

Complaining here won't make the update come any faster.
Exactly my point. I've done renders that even utilizing a render farm took over 6 hours for one render. Granted those were much more detailed than what you have in your game, but I was also utilizing probably $50,000 USD worth of computers for a single render. I very much doubt you have that amount of computing power at your disposal. Assuming your have a similar amount of processing power available as I currently have, I wouldn't be surprised if a single render for an animation sequence took you between 6 and 7 hours with your current models, barring any inconsistencies in the final product.
The writing is something that I don't have any comparable experience with, as I am not a writer myself. However, I wouldn't be surprised at all if just the writing portion itself takes roughly a month or two to finish by itself.
People just need to learn to be patient. A finished product can only be as good as the amount of time spent creating it allows, and you can't rush things like this. Keep up the good work altosandherdone, and rest assured knowing that many of the people interested in your creation are more than willing to wait for a good update rather than a shitty one.
Here's a crazy idea - distributed rendering. Using the supporters collective cpu's to help speed up the process. Does something like this exist?
That is what a render farm is. A render farm uses the cpu and gpu of each computer in the farm to distribute the load, allowing for more rendering threads to be processed at once. An effective farm can take a project that would take a single computer 24 hours, and can cut that down to 4-5 hours depending on the processing power of each computer in the farm.
Edit: I just noticed you said supporters collective cpu's. That would be extremely expensive to do, as the bandwidth consumption would be insane. A render farm is normally multiple computers in one building (usually all in the same room) on the same LAN network so that you aren't having to send insane amounts of data through the internet. Also, the more varied the processing power of the computers in the farm, the worse of a farm it is, as the host computer has to divide up the threads to send to each computer, and multiple processing speeds would increase the host load. Too much variation in processing power can actually make the rendering process take longer. Most render farms are purpose built, with each computer built with identical specs to minimize this load.
Thanks for the explanation - however I found this, https://bitwrk.net/ - so technically it seems both possible and available.
yo these updates taking way to long
But they are worth the wait.
mmmmmm
0.11.1
>drools<
I'm looking forward to the new version as well. I enjoyed everything the current version has to offer, and want to see the new content.
Haha, I just started this and Had my Character name as Nightmare for the last name. It fit so well with the opening scene. Nightmare Method.
Im a bit stuck as what to do, im at stage 7 of rachel where it says to give her a private punishment but i dont know how to level her up to 6
I don't remember that particular part of the story very well, but I'll do my best to give some advice and hope it works. If you want to progress a specific girl, check every area at every opportunity. Some events trigger only on certain days of the week, at a specific time of day, while doing a specific activity. If you aren't sure about a specific event, try saving before each action for an entire week, and reloading the save if you do not get the event you are hunting for. I know it's a lot of trial and error, but for some events it's the easiest way to do it.
If you are talking about increasing a girl's level after a punishment event, save before the punishment and try various things in order to reach max on each punishment stat, reloading (or hitting the restart from beginning button) if you don't reach the stats required by the end of the punishment. Some punishment's require various things to be purchased online before you can succeed in maxing out the stats as well, so check the online shop.
