It's the buildup man. Gotta enjoy the story and the progression through it. Very few people completely change who they are in a single day. It takes time.. and growth.. or being slowly corrupted. Ari has done some VERY fast moves already.. but some of them still take time. Enjoy the ride.

Sylvie please don't bother to respond to every troll and critic. Accept the constructive criticism and ignore the rest. Same with responding to everyone about saves. Seriously, you've answered it enough already.
Yesterday seemed like a rough day for you and Lola, plus with you being unwell on top of it, just relax, ignore the negative crap and know most of us here enjoy it and support you.

of course. and the second choice could be how Ari and Sam break the professor's arms and legs with a baseball bat. hahaha

I'm kinda hoping there will be route where Ari actually starts enjoying Smiths commands and demands and gets really into it, doing it because she want's to, not because he's threatening or blackmailing her. But I guess we'll have to see what Sylvie comes up with.

I don't think so, because there was now possibility, refuse, to execute the order, so I'm also wondering what's next.

You have really nice game - with great potential!
There are not many $6000/month games - they all started small.
On the other hand there are way more 'abandoned' tags.

Still no mention of saves not working on the renpytom Twitter feed, or lemmasoft forum (that I can find, anyway)
There are lots of major changes, so I'm not surprised old saves don't work . . . what's puzzling is that some saves work, some load, but in the wrong spot, and some cause an error.

No, Sam and I have almost nothing in common. I'm more like a mix of Amy and Melanie: Analytical, yet free-spirited, and a hopeless romantic.
There's a good reason for that. Sam is fairly complex. There's still a lot you don't know about her.
There's a good reason for that, too . . . lots of conflict within that poor girl.
You may never love her, but you'll eventually understand her (if we can manage to write her well enough).
P.S. DM me on Sylivie's Discord, if you're there. I want to get your thoughts/hopes about Elysa . . . need to start developing her, soon.
Could be the new renpy version causing problems especially with older machines like my dinosaur PC, my old saves didn't work, happy to start again as I like the game (looking forward to telling Frank to fuck off again) and I can't play a lot of the new games and updates which is annoying, anyway just a thought as I know virtually nothing about this coding malarkey
It took me 3 tries to find a save that worked for me with Ari, no idea about the other saves (I obviously didn't keep testing after I found one), but it meant I only had to replay part of one scene to get caught back up. The only time it is really an issue, is if you are one of those people who only use one save for the whole game. If you make frequent saves, it should be easy to find one that works.

I had to go back to almost the start of the previous update to get them working because that was the only saves I had other than right at the end, but as Sylvie said it's with the new renpy version. I've had it happen with almost all games updated and released recently.
Same, any game that is using the updated Ren'Py.
I save at every choice, and the start of most new scenes. I learned a long time ago from Sierra, Save Early, Save Often, and under many slots, you never know when you may have missed something, and have to go back.
Do you think a heads-up might have been in order? By doing so, you let us know that you are aware that your tools are changing and that access to saves might be more difficult. Can you see where that might have been more helpful?
Yeah, it happened to everyone, Ren'Py didn't say it would be a problem either, and so far don't seem to be talking about it. So, no one really knew about it until it was too late.
You know what, I'd like to withdraw my comment. You give us a fun game and you are often at the mercy of often uncooperative software and deadlines.
Thank you for your efforts. Please overlook my dickish remarks.
If more people had that level of maturity, the world would be a nicer place.

No worries . . . it's frustrating for all of us. Of the 18 saves I had from testing, I only had to delete 6. Four others loaded, but in the wrong place (earlier in the code). I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, but it's still irritating.
And, in case anybody doesn't know, when you mouseover a save, you can hit <Delete> while that slot is highlighted . . . just learned that, today
