Although this doesn't fix the problem, you should be able just to use Ignore at the bottom of the screen. I believe missing / incorrectly named sound files are something Ren'Py will just overlook if you choose to. @TwistedMoony is on this forum (and owns this thread, I believe), so he'll see the issue you're reporting.

I do see it but I have no clue about the translations.
Those are made by 2 different translators.
French Is @Nemerof turf.

Hello,
the error is due to renpy not finding the right file:
scene black with dissolve
"At school…"
play music "silentwaves/aeon.mp3"
I don't know which is the right file to play, silentwaves.mp3 or aeon.mp3
this is in ch3.rpy on line 399

 

[hrmm]

Yeah, it's not a french translation specific issue, just a typo/error in the original script that is fixed in the "small bugfix" listed in the OP.

Ah that one, lol. It will be fixed in 0.4
It is a known error.

Discord Update

Moony — Today at 7:15 AM​

Back to Moonday progress updates!

I hope you’re all doing well and that 2025 has started off great for you!
We’re hard at work on the 0.4 update.

Last week, I created around 30 renders, and today I’ve added a few more. I’ll be continuing to make progress on this as we move forward! (You can follow the progress in #render-count)
The scene I’m currently working on is quite extensive, featuring the first fully realized lewd scene. Of course, this will depend on the choices you’ve made earlier in the story—who, what, and where? No spoilers, though!
I’ll see how many animations I can include in this one. Stay tuned!

That is kinda it... nothing major to report.

Well one thing that came to mind, on

I have a sale!!! 50% off and for that amount you gonna have all the game updates on release day + everyone who is buying the game will get a special role in Discord! (DM me on here)

Well that was it now!
Hope you all have a good week!

Moony out!
Cheers

*some speculations*
smaller step-daughter was kidnapped by that punk-father of twins?
Well, his actions are not without some logic. If MC is taken to the police on suspicion of kidnapping his youngest adopted daughter, the family will be left without protection and this punk can intimidate women with impunity.If not for one BUT - his actions are too obvious. and also it is he who will be suspected, because he already came and demanded that his daughters be returned to him. It is easiest to think of him. Therefore, it is definitely not him.
So, there is a "mysterious enemy" somewhere. Wait, the married couple who wanted to buy the MC company - they may have connections and influence, getting information about the composition of the family with a lot of money will not be difficult. The elimination of MC makes it possible to get the company much easier, the shares will fall in price and will be bought at a bargain price. Yes, it makes sense.

Discord Update

Moony — Yesterday at 12:21 PM​

Moonday progress update

Another week with another progress update for L&B 0.4 update.
Good news, the script is done and the major part of the code is already in renpy.
Now it's my turn to get the renders done.
For those who have been keeping tabs on my progress on Discord in the render-count channel know that I am on 219 renders atm.
And my estimate for the total render count is around 400 (most likely above the 400 renders).
So you could say I am at 55% with the renders.

With that being said and seeing the numbers I am still aiming at a end of January release for the higher tiers.

Black tier and above have the current build to test for early bugs. The link can be found in their channel.

For wood tier and above I made a zip file for the old renders of the week. I will try and make more and share them that way with you.

And again, I can't stress this point enough, you need to be on Discord these days if you want the full experience.
The easy part, it doesn't cost anything! Wood tier is the free tier.
Of course I would appreciate it a lot if more would sub to at least the Bronze tier for 1$ per month.
The advantage is: weekly renders, early access to to the premium build just for subscribers.

Next week I will start a new promotion for everyone! So stay tuned for that!

That was it for today!
Have a great week and stay awesome.

Moony out!
Cheers

 

[TwistedMoony]

Thank you @-CookieMonster666- once again

Well some things don't apply to the freeloaders here of course.
I will still upload here on public release day. So no need to worry.
Although joining on Substar for free has it perks.

Available for wood tier and above to Discord.

Well, this game is a pleasant surprise. I am really liking the story & love the enthusiasm that the mother brings to the table. Not sure about keeping one child in the dark about everything, but from the look of it you will get to play through adding her to the sexy funtimes!

She's only out of the loop until she turns "of age." MC says this at the table when talking with his wife if I remember correctly. Even being on games+ its probably just fluff to appease patreon if Dev's on there.

The dev's not on Patreon, so that wouldn't apply. While he is on Itch, I'd guess he does better numbers on Ko-Fi. In any case, Moony is on LC, so he can comment on that himself if he wants.

No I got that from context in the game, it's just from a stroyteller perspective it bugs me. I enjoy the stories in these games primarily and while they are obviously fictional and exist primarily to let the players get off, occasionally my mind gets stuck on one point and just screams out "That wouldn't work in real life!"

And keeping the one kid in the dark until the parents suddenly spring their incestous family on one child when they reach the magical "age" that just makes ny brain skip a beat mentally. I get that this is a porn game, and don't take this as bashing the dev & their writer, but for some reason that one point keeps sticking with me. At the same time, I'm enjoying the game and looking forward to bring the last child into the family fun when it happens. It's my wierd brain.

Indeed not on Patreon, I mean with incest and all...
But Kofi numbers seem high, I used that earlier for commission work.
(But how can you tell? If you see how many donations I had, 122, multiply by 5)
Those were mostly pre the subscribestar surge.

This is a porn game. Do you really expect that we use real life logic?
Come on,... really? REALLY? Let me help you with that... we don't use real life logic So take everything with a grain of salt.

This games great so far! Keep up the great work.

Oh absolutely I understand that & enjoy that exact lack of real life logic 99% of the time.

It's just when my mind fixates on that one minor logic defying aspect that it bothers me. In a different game, my mind decided that it made no sense how the MC went to work one day as a programmer and by the end of the work day had sexed up 3 co-workers, 4 clients, and 2 random waitresses in an off-brand Starbucks. Makes perfect sense in Porn-World, makes negative sense in Real World. Still enjoyed the game if I remember correctly, but my brain kept whimpering in a corner occasionally.

Of course nothing the following week either. Hope he didn't die from whatever he had.

There were a few AVNs I came across that were actually realistic/slow burn. Typically boring as fuck and 100% not worth subbing to, like https://lewdcorner.com/threads/couples-v0-28-special-neverlucky.2310/. That scenario you mentioned where MC fucks 9 people in one day could be made more realistic by simply making him a serial rapist in a similar vein as Raptus, but that's a pretty small target audience to aim for.

He's been responding in the #lost-and-bound-chat channel of his server, even just today. Not sure what happened with Monday updates, but he's alive and kicking. I'd guess he just forgot to post another one, though obviously IDK.

 

[jdub1221]

This game has a lot of potential, hope the dev will stay consistent.
