You are the first to report something like this. Can you post your last save from before the update? When did you play last? Theoretically all saves from after update 6 or 7 should be compatible.

Only issue I had with saves was that they all had their timestamps modified to be the day I loaded one of them. Makes it difficult to tell where I left off last.

This was a great update
The mc is really well written imo
So many games have an arsehole mc
But here he cares about people and their feelings
I wish more games had an mc like him

Yeah, this was an issue from upgrading to the newest version of Ren'Py. Apparently a lot of other Ren'Py games are having the same issue. Hopefully just a one-time deal. Don't think I can do anything about it. Sorry about that.

.
also, this this happened with all the saves View attachment 2754556
Please read the post above yours for an answer to that.

I thought about what you said about losing all progress. Do you mean the fact that there is no percentage counter anymore? Could you check if you can still replay the scenes you have already played?

And I have another game from here, recently updated, that did the same thing. So the Dev is likely correct - something weird with the latest RenPy version. Annoying, but not fatal. :>)
(my old saves still worked as far as I can tell)

the first one i checked was at school, the scene looked different, and adrien had come into class, and the dialog was as if i had never talked to her before...

Hmmm... I don't know what to tell you, this is the first instance of anyone losing content. I'll make a note of it and see if anybody else reports something similar.
Do you still have your full save from before? Could you post it?

sorry i saved over that save after i started over. i have a few others, which i can't find in the new save folder.
i did save this one from the last update before today, in the new update, just now and get the same result.

This is the answer.

I think that it should not be possible to be stuck on Mrs. Mills' Domme path. Let me know / post the save if you are.
I told Mrs Mills "NO!" at least three times now (during previous updates) and never got a sub route option for her. I know that is not how it is supposed to go but that is all I've seen thus far. Is this a recent implementation/fix? After the shit way she's treated MC I would LOVE to put her under my boot! Maybe grab her strap on and DP her all by myself!

Thanks for yet another cool update with great options to skip right over the scenes we find objectionable. Skydiving with Kendra was a blast! You never disappoint, RJ my friend! One other question... I no longer see the progression numbers on the main LI tracking screen, only the red hearts on or off. That was an easy way to tell which LI had new content at a glance. I miss that. Peace.

Adventure ever on, Phat;)(y)

I absolutely don't need writing advice. My game is very successful, and I did it by writing what I wanted to write and not pandering to people who I dont like.

That agent was wrong. When you publish, you do have to take criticism and you do have to develop thick skin, but you don't have to smile and thank the person.

You can just tell them to fuck off.

Everyone needs writing advice from time to time. Stephen King's wife read Carrie and convinced him it was good if he actually had a woman's perspective. She went through it for him and critiqued the hell out of it and he made the changes she suggested and his agent sold the book for two-hundred and fifty-thousand dollars, when King heard two-fifty, he was elated to just get anything and then the agent dropped the bomb and said, "No, two-hundred and fifty THOUSAND." if King had not gotten advice from someone, he wouldn't have sold his first book because he threw it in the trash and his wife found it while he was at work.

J.K. Rowling (yes, I know, people want to hate her now for speaking her opinion.) used adverbs like crazy instead of letting the narration indicate how characters felt. She also had no idea how to write a teenage boy or teen boy interactions. She needed advice but nobody would stand up to her including her editor. She had pages of dialogue in the middle of a confrontation where the combatants circled one another. She wrote from outlines and didn't re-read her previous novels so didn't realize how her characters had grown and had to perform character assassinations on several to get them back in line. She had characters forgive and forget transgressions and betrayals like they'd been Obliviated of the events. She absolutely needed writing advice.

It's not pandering if you just include normal folk going about doing normal things and not being judgmental about it. You can still write what you want, how you want, but why the hostility towards those that are not like you? Why don't you like people that aren't like you? That doesn't seem very tolerant. Isn't the goal to get everybody to be accepting of everybody else? When you demonize one side then you cause those on that side to stop listening or caring.

Echo chambers are bad on both sides. Do you only interact with people that agree with you? Do you believe that shutting down discussion is a good thing? I believe in having the conversations and the better ideas will win out. Having your MC discuss different ideas to either grow himself or convince others that their views may need to be examined is a good thing.

Actually, you DO have to smile and thank the person. That's PR 101. Don't alienate or anger your fans.
