If you have any bugs or typos, please report them here.

not really a bug per se, but on day four, the text it difficult to read while in the classroom.  almost blends into the background 

(+1)

actually seems most scenes are difficult to read. No background to the text to make it stand out

your update fixed the text issues. So much better, thank you

here is something I found for the public android version. It happened immediately as I boot up the visual novel, before it even shows anything else.

I can easily get by it by pressing ignore twice but figured you would wanna know

though it doesn't allow me to go to main menu either. It shows another exception error when that happens and then ignoring it starts a new game.

Developer

the game stops having these errors when you make a save file. I'll try to make a big fixing update soon.

Developer

Just for future reference, please send a screenshot of any error screens or tracebacks you get. I can't really know what's the problem if I don't see the code that's causing the issues.

when i enter the game and it is like this

Developer

Press Ignore multiple times until you get into a scene. Then save the game. You won't see those error screens again.

this is in the middle of the story. I am on the Kamil route.

there is another one only a few lines later as well

it actually keeps happening after only a few lines between each. I don't know if it is just a missing file or something, but the entire car ride is like that.

Developer

The game is trying to add values to a variable it doesn't recognize because the game adds that variable earlier on in the game. It's possible that you're playing on a save that was made before the CG Gallery was added to the game. Try making a new save.

Developer

I think I realized the problem. You were on Kamil's route for Day 1 and then switched to Brendan's route on Day 2. The game skipped over the scene that adds the variable and so it doesn't recognize it when it's on Brendan's route for Day 2. You can ignore that by viewing Brendan's Day 1 scene.

I can't even play the game on android. I'm met with an error before it crashes

Developer (1 edit)

What version are you playing? Can you send me a screenshot of the error screen?

like I said before, and in the upper right of the screenshot, I tried it on android. It gives me this error screen everytime I try reopening the game 

Developer

Try downloading the new build. I'm pretty sure it fixes that bug.

it seems fine now, but I still got an error when restarting the game. The only work around I found is ignoring the error, and creating a save file so said error screen won't appear anymore

Ran into an issue with the previous version, not the bugfix version released a couple of days ago, that had an error upon startup and presented me with options I didn't understand would change anything. I'm not stuck with black text color making it pretty difficult to read. Not sure if there's some hidden way for me to change the color on the most recent version but I have no way of actually fixing this as of now.


Developer

Try to delete the save files and persistent data of the game and install the new version. Ren'py saves save files in multiple places so make sure to delete all of them. If that doesn't work, download a previous version of the game, change the font text to white and go back to the newest version. You can download an old version of the game here: https://chellaytiger.itch.io/by-your-hands-archive

this error happens when you switch routes in the middle of Day 2. It will be fixed soon.

Developer(+1)

just keep pressing Ignore every time you receive the error.

Yeah I did just that.

Very nice update by the way. I'm getting a headache from trying to decide whether to go full on horny with Brendan or to reserve a bit (and what combinations of choices should I go for). Ended up making a whole bunch of different saves lol. 

And what a nice surprise I got after trying Connor's route again. He bottoms for the first sex scene now, which is great!

Brendan and Kamil are still my favorite tho. Look forward to seeing more of them  

Developer

I'm glad you're enjoying all the new stuff!

And one day later you released Brendan day 6 lol, I'm having a blast.
Didn't expect him to have the flaw that he has, and with Cameron around it's a bit concerning and sus-sy... but so far I still like him.
I like that each different choice give a slight bit difference in the convo later and honestly the number of save slots is not enough to keep all the variations lol. I originally only wanted two separate saves for Brendan, which are plain vanilla and full on sexual, but with Owen's involvement and the possibility that Brendan may need both cuddles and sex, the possibilities expanded exponentially.

Developer

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Brendan has some issues but so it's good that you still like him in spite of that. Maybe I should increase the number of save files, but I also think you should have a good idea on what path to take soon.

Most of the CG scenes are desaligned. I played in an older version before, so the save could be a problem, but I already tried to delete the save in AppData/Roaming/Renpy and then unzip the game in a new folder, but to no avail.

Developer

Sorry I'm not sure how to fix that. Maybe make sure you have deleted all previous versions of the game first.
