Are the savegames ok? Because you updated Ren'py. I have read somewhere here that saves will break.
They shouldn't. There's nothing inherent about the data in the save game files that should matter with a new Ren'Py version, but it is a beta test version. Caveat Emptor.

For what it's worth, I've updated Ren'Py with almost every release, and it was only the one time I made changes to the way points are calculated that it broke things.

Really quick note this time around. If you didn't catch the news over on my (and if not, why not?) production for the Confusion finale is completed. Beta testing has been proceeding smoothly.

So smoothly, I think, that I'm presently a week ahead of schedule. With any luck, that means that the release schedule is now:
  • Fri, Jun 6 - Top tier supporter releaase
  • Fri, Jun 13 - Mid tier supporter release
  • Fri, Jun 20 - Base tier supporter release
  • Fri, Jun 27 - Public release (itch.io)

Congratulations are in order! Hope the rest of the work that comes with the completed game goes smoothly. Looking forward to buying on Steam if you can get it approved there. (Sadly Steam doesn't consider that characters that are now major had a childhood.) If not, what would be the price for the completed game on Itch? It will be well worth it anyways.

Thanks! We'll see—I think I've skirted the creeping arbitrary limits that Steam has been imposing lately, but I may have to address some dialogue and images regarding character flashbacks. Believe it or not, it's the attempted rape situations I'm most concerned about.

If I can't post it on Steam, then I'll have to take another tack. Itch.io has been horrible as a "pay what you think it's worth" venue, since evidently almost nobody thinks it's worth $1, let alone $15 or $20. I'll probably charge what it would cost on Steam, something like $19.99. Haven't decided yet.

Yon can't fix a minimum price on Itch.io?

Sure, you can. I was just trying to be honest about the process, since it was a work in progress. Silly me. Next time, I'll put a pay-per-release price on it. You know, not what I would expect once it was all done, but enough to stop casual downloaders who only want stuff for free. The Steam version will have additional features/scenes not available in the public release.
