Anyone planning on a guide or mod for this with the update? Downloading 7.1 now, can't wait to play!
The guide in the OP is still applicable for the Missions.
The Contracts you'll need to figure out on your own, as they're not included, but they're simple/easy anyway.
The new Story content, with Eiza, is not covered, but everything else is. (y)

ANGLE renderer is using DirectX, not OpenGL. You shouldn't get an error message about missing OpenGL 2.0 if you were using DirectX, it doesn't make sense.
Show me your log.txt, please.

Also, did you actually try to hold SHIFT while starting the game and hold it until a window appears or are you just bullshitting me? Because I'm used to people telling me that they've "tried everything" and are ignoring my advice, while they in fact haven't tried the very thing I suggested.
Starting a Ren'Py game while holding SHIFT only starts the graphics configuration window without utilizing any kind of HW acceleration, so missing an OpenGL or DirectX feature wouldn't matter and it wouldn't give any errors about them. It's what this feature is made for - troubleshooting.
Thanks man, I've been trying to make renpy games run on my notebook's dedicated graphics for months. Tried every nvidia and windows configuration possible, I didn't know about the SHIFT thing, I just forced the game to use directX now and BOOM, done. No more lags or animation problems. The post was not for me but helped me alot (y)

It took much time to release the current update 0.7. If somebody is in touch with dev, how often is he going to post updates further?

For some reason gallery doesn't seem to work for me other than that I'm just glad the game is finally getting an update and for those of you who don't want to start a new save just to see 2 new scenes here's all of my saves I played on the free roam and story only version so if you wanted to actually do the minigames you can't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I tried to download this save file, but it's not downloading. Can anyone upload the save file again ? Thanks.

Now that the rebuild is complete, story progression can resume as primary focus.

Downloads fine, for me? It's a WinRar compressed file.
Just click on the file icon, in the post, then choose Save.

I am still enjoying the missions. I have yet to completely fail one. The first thing I did was look at all the equipment and figure out what equipment was needed, and then i spent a bit of my starting cash on some stealth items.

It was cool to explore them and figure out the different things you can do in them. It is clear that some elements can't be completed until you get a bit more experience under your belt. So I will return when I have raised my stats to complete those parts.

The missions are interesting and I think they add to the immersion and allow for some more world building.

Way better than before.

Reading this thread, however, has become incredibly depressing. The negativity is so suffocating to creativity.

I enjoy playing games. I like puzzles. I like game mechanics. I like a bit of difficulty.

I wish more VNs would add some game elements. But it is clear why so many don't. A massive amount of people want a "I win" button. I find it frustrating.

But I have lived in this world long enough to know that no matter what you do you can't satisfy everyone. At some point if you want to create anything you have to just tune out a lot of the complaints. The alternative is mediocrity.

Most games offer cheat options so that people that want to play without actually playing can just cheat. When I saw that there were 3 game options in this update I thought that might reduce the complaining. But I guess not.

I hope that HopesGaming will stick to his vision. If he decides that he doesn't like the missions and chooses to remove them then so be it. But I hope he doesn't remove them in an attempt to placate the complaints. It won't work as people will find new things to complain about... and it will lead to burn out.

Good luck, HopesGaming. The one thing you can be sure about is that with success will come complaints. You can literally go to any successful game's thread on Steam, for instance, and find an endless stream of complaints. The more people that enjoy your work the more complaints you will encounter. It is just part of the experience.

For some reason it never returned...
I'm not 100% sure if the trigger is completing the mission x amount of times, or if it's completing it with high enough ranking, i.e. attacking the guard, stealing the jacket, beating up the guy from the couple and taking his wallet, stealing the jewelry + getting the ring, from Bikini Girl.
Either way, just keep on completing it & checking the square with the dog, eventually the old man will appear.
