Actually there are ways to change stuff and still keep the save games working. Many devs manage it and there's even a thread here on the board, where the options are explained.Dev already said saves may not work.
It doesn't matter what gets changed, could be anything, as soon as something in the code changes it will break old saves.
You don't have to start every time, you can stop playing games still in development. Simples.
I get that sometimes it's impossible, especially with a game like this with so many diverging paths, but sometimes it's just devs not making an effort or not knowing enough about ren'py.
I wish they would make the thread sticky or something, so that all the ren'py devs see it.
