UPDATE 25/4/2022!


Morning, guys! 
How did your week go? I've made some good progress with Bermuda, but I gotta say, it was not easy :'D 

So here's how it goes; the sun was shining, the birds were singing, everything was going well until... I accidentally updated my MacOS.
What could be so bad about it, you ask? Well, I suddenly cannot mount my external hard disk, which contains Bermuda's main folder and I cannot do programming without it. It's kinda hard to explain, but let me try:

So all these years, my HDD format is NTFS, I usually use Tuxera NTFS to mount it. After updating my MacOS, I also updated my Tuxera NTFS but all of a sudden, I cannot mount my HDD. Apparently, Tuxera NTFS's error "Disc Quota Exceeded" is a common one that appeared in their latest update and the solution they posted didn't work for me. This is a problem, because I can only do programming in MacOS. Whenever I tried to do programming with Windows, there are weird symbols in the script, which I do not dare to touch (in case I accidentally corrupt it). Some people said it might be related to a font error, but I do not know how to solve it.

After calling my friend, who is more familiar with HDD format & MacOS, I've managed to copy Bermuda's main folder into his HDD. I've just found out that exFAT format is friendly with both MacOS & Windows ^^; We also encountered other minor problems, like my MacOS refusing to open Ren'Py unless I put the whole folder in the 'Application' folder--but overall, the problem is solved!

I'm backing up Bermuda's data often so there's no need to worry as long as I can continue with programming~

In any case, here's what I did last week!


- I spent most of my time polishing & programming Chapter 2 part 2! I've made a lot of changes, especially Maya's sentences and how she carried them. I've skimmed through the Antagonist's Route and while the early chapters are a bit rough and sometimes a long shot (I'm pretty sure a lot of you will have something to say x'D), Chapter 3 and the rest are good to go! Much better and smoother than Chapter 2.

- Made 1 bonus CG for chapter 2! (Progress: rough lineart). Sometimes, a picture is worth 1000 words or more. Like I said last week, I'm having some problem with expressing my Antagonist, especially in the early chapters... For now, this is the best solution I can think of. I will strive to be a better author. I might be unable to polish Chapter 2 to perfection for now, but I will definitely come back again and again >:)

Bonus:
Some of you are confused why the puzzle minigame's background is black, so I've decided to show you a sneak peek about the environment where you'll assemble the puzzle (can be considered a small spoiler, but no harm~)


Welp, that's it for now! Thank you as always for your patience and for reading the update ^///^
Here's hoping you had a great week, and for those who is fasting, I wish you the best of luck!
xoxo,

P.S. I've included a few screenshot for you to look, maybe you can help me solve the problem with my original HDD not mounting & my Windows showing weird symbols whenever I open Jedit? (Ren'Py editor I'm using) ^^; if not, it's also okay, I can do programming now with the Ren'Py in the 'Application' folder, I only need to backup more often!

"Disk quota exceeded"

Does that mean your MacOs has only a limited amount of drives it can hook up into it's registry of it's system? I'm sorry, I'm a noob with MacOS. Anyway I found this troubleshooting post. Maybe it helps.

As for Jedit suddenly throwing in symbols... can you open the file in another coding program/text file like for example Notepad ++ to see if it still throws in symbols? (Notepad++ is free and opensource. No bloat or adware)

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

If it doesn't then something is wrong with the settings of the Jedit program.

"You can try opening those files with windows' western charset cp1252 (aka windows-1252) because the euro sign € is not in latin-1 (aka iso-8859-1). In the open dialog you can choose your encoding in Commands/Encodings. Otherwise do you know Unicode?"

Otherwise I would post your problem to a programming community. Reddit allows you to make throwaway accounts without an email. So that is a quick and painless option.
