  1. How to remove this stupid bitch? She spoils everything.

    1. The first time she asks a question, there's an option "No need (Skip tutorial)". As you have probably guessed, it makes her not appear anymore. Well, until you start a new game. Or call for her specifically.

    2. What about for those of us loading an existing save file?

    3. She asks that question, too.

    4. What do you mean? I didn't see anything. She just started commenting on my days and that's it.

  2. Looks like my original post was edited or deleted or something, but whatever. I'd like to clarify/comment that I think it's absolutely, 100% dumb to have someone stand around onscreen, tossing useless comments in about how you're doing every single day.

    Quick bug report, too: if you delete whatever-her-name-is's images in the folder, the game's load button completely ceases to function.

    1. You make a huge deal out of something so minor.
      You can replace files for empty images, altho it won't disable speech bubbles.

    2. Is there EVER going to be some way to permanently toss her out of the game? This is an adult game and I'd assume we are all adults who don't need babysitters to hold our hands in our games.

    3. -I'll clarify:
      The fact there IS a tutorial is fine, the girl GIVING the tutorial is okay, the issue is that she stays around for the rest of your game, gabbing on about your money going up or down literally every single time you hit the end day button. If she only showed up to tell you about important things like a slave almost escaped or that your food will run out the next day, or that today is the last day before the deadline of a quest, then that would be fine.

      Sure, you can edit her out of the scripts for yourself. You get nearly full control over source code with version currently being released.

      Otherwise I am looking for better options constantly, if there would be a system which would calculate optimal times to bring her up, I could try that, but like this you'll have to wait until I find a time to make such system.

  3. As I can say, if you start a new game and save this after the choices at day 1, and when you reload this day 1 she appears again and asks you again if you would like to have the tutorial.
    At any day greater than 1 she does not come back with the tutorial.
    That is not a big thing.
    But she is always at the daily report screen and comments your financial state. Probably he means this ? But I don't find this annoying.
