Watch Practice now correctly drains 1 AP.
Sponsorship system completely rewritten for stability.
Fixed a ton of crashes and edge-case bugs (condom use, risky dares, Director Rosengrant events, save corruption, etc.).

Hi, I found a bug with this build. Not sure where to report those. In the Hospital, while most of the options I click has a simple message saying "coming soon", if you click "abort" while not actually pregnant (I couldn't tell since the medical test feature isn't ready) I get a crash. I'd copy and paste the full body of text, but the only text I can copy to the clip board is the following: " M9i6@yZL-XhmJ9N " The error is: "An exception has occurred. 0.5.2.1 8.4.1.25072401 Windows-10" and I found the body of text in the error in a file called traceback.txt which says: " I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File "game/script.rpy", line 1945, in script call File "game/script.rpy", line 1962, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 1404, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 2960, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 3059, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 1404, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 4435, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 970, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 1404, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events_city.rpy", line 161, in script File "game/events_city.rpy", line 161, in TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'int' and 'NoneType' -- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "game/script.rpy", line 1945, in script call File "game/script.rpy", line 1962, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 1404, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 2960, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 3059, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 1404, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 4435, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 970, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 1404, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events.rpy", line 267, in script call File "game/events_city.rpy", line 161, in script File "renpy/ast.py", line 2079, in execute if renpy.python.py_eval(condition): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^ File "renpy/python.py", line 1292, in py_eval return py_eval_bytecode(code, globals, locals) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "renpy/python.py", line 1285, in py_eval_bytecode return eval(bytecode, globals, locals) ~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "game/events_city.rpy", line 161, in TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'int' and 'NoneType' Windows-10-10.0.19045-SP0 AMD64 Ren'Py 8.4.1.25072401 National School For Wealth ... and Fuckery! 0.5.2.1 Tue Sep 23 23:12:07 2025 " I was able to click "ignore" so it wasn't a full crash, but the text did fully cover the game screen. Before reporting this I went to check to see if it is also in the members build 0.5.3 , but unfortunately it seems that saves are not compatible between builds. Copying the save folder does allow me to see the saves, but when I click them it fully crashes.
Thanks!
