anyone has s savefile of the newest version
I'm pretty sure every version comes with new saves for the start of each chapter. Or do you mean a "completed" savefile with the gallery unlocked? Because you can just look at the picture in the game folders, and the gallery only shows you those pictures. They're saved as raw PNG files, so it's easy to open them and you'll see everything that you would see through the gallery (and more).

MKRU releases a save with all new versions to prevent compatibility issues (as well as a detailed guide, which really is a lot of extra work and very appreciated) but if you somehow need extra saves I have a few around.

The gallery can be a bit of a pickle if you haven't played in a long time since Moghunter's gallery plugin might not have reindexed it (so you'll actually see the older CG indexes and won't have the newer ones appear in there while still technically over 100%) but the ones I'm providing here have been manually debugged to reindex them accordingly.

As Rosen King pointed out, all assets are directly viewable from outside the game. Pictures with a Pic_ prefix are gallery pictures used by this plugin and should show up in your gallery recollection; if the count matches, then that's all good.

Let me know if you find missing things since I haven't double-checked them. The saves right before a "bad" end aren't included since those will be part of the next update, only the ones at crucial points in time.

I know nothing about itch.io rules. Can you not just put it into a rar and split it? Their FAQ seems to suggest that you can e-mail them to have your limits changed.

Trying to squeeze it to just under 1 GB can't be a long term solution if you're going to finish the vampire path, too, yes? Maybe you could split vampire path off to its own game if you really need the space.

Splitting the RAR should indeed work. Also, knowing how much MV/MZ are bloated by design (goddamn Node.js with ridiculous locales that aren't even used, though those compress nicely - it's mostly the Node library itself that's a damn mess), it's also possible to separate the core files from the unnecessary ones, though this may confuse users a bit and also slightly affect compression.

Or as KingRei stated, have two separate projects, but beware: MV/MZ will try to bloat both as it will always package a boatload of unnecessary stuff on deployment.

1GB seems quite large. I take you also losslessly compressed the assets? (Tools like PNG optimizer, PNG crush or similar can help you achieve this without losing any quality/image data at all and while also lowering color depth as needed so you don't end up with memory overkill.)

I think the majority of the file size issues come from the amount of uncompressed pngs in the game’s files. I’m confident that getting these image files crushed down will keep my game well under 1 GB.

Playing Mila as a Vampire is so much fun,a little more tragic given the fact she is now immortal and her friends and family are not. Certainly gives even more depth to Mila's character. Question. Is Dorian the only vamp route?. Will The Cursed garments send her on a Vamp route or a bad ending?. Fun Game.

The sense of loss that inevitably comes with immortality was one of the coolest things about the vampire route for me. Mila keeps going but everyone around her naturally just dies and fades away. The world changes but she, as a vampire, will always be the same. She's a relic from a different time. It's probably one of the best ways to tell a vampire story.

Dorian is the only vamp route, yeah. Cursed garments give a very quick bad ending.

I hope there will be more Story to the Vamp route. I have reached the end of it for the current release. Being the Vampire Hunter is awesome too,yet Mila's Vamp plot is slightly more engaging.

I'm the opposite, I found the vampire route to be a little more hollow, maybe it's because it's not as fleshed out, but the vampire route felt a little cliche

It would be a very interesting twist if Ashe the silver hair'd Vamp Knightess is actually a Sinclair. Somehow distantly related to the Heroine in some way. I am getting female Alucard vibes from her that's for sure. I also think it would cool if there were multiple paths to the Vamp route,not just to bad endings,or the one path toward Dorian. The characters and routes are just so damn creative. Both Hunter and Vamp route. Mind you I like the idea of a fallen Heroine. a Hero who has been so for such a long time temptation eventually catches up to the Hunter becoming the very thing she hunted,then sets out on turning the world into a Vamp paradise or go all Blade or Angel Vampire with a Soul and destroy as many vamps as she can to atone for giving in to her desires becoming a vampire.

I personally am of the exact opposite opinion, at that juncture you are essentially looking at a Naruto tier holy bloodline for that family(Considering who the father, mother, sister and Protagonist are the roles they played in the world)and that is a trope best left unused if you ask me.

seeing how powerful Ashe is,it would be cool if there was a Vamp route where Mila is not a servant to anyone and that she is the Alpha Vamp. Rather, Kept her free will and became unstoppable and not someone else's puppet. By the By, Amber's fate is a very tragic one in the Vamp route. It really gets me in the heart. However playing the Hunter Route it seems that Amber was heading to a similar end, due to her ever growing depression One thing I do not understand. The King made it obvious he favored Mila over Amber and since Mila is a top tier hunter plus being Rinaldo's biological daughter, you would think he would hand leadership to her,while have Samantha keep an eye on Amber. The King does say to Mila in private he does not trust her. The fact the King hands over leadership to his personal Guard is strange. People should play the Vamp route right before the end of the Hunter route to discover what happens to everyone,including Samantha. It is very interesting.

Power consolidation. Despite their decay, Nocturne is still a force of some power outside the control of the monarchy. The circumstances give the King an excuse to place them under his direct authority, so he grabs it. Of course, this does predictably accelerate the decay at a time when a group like Nocturne is if anything more needed than it has been in a long time, but the King could have miscalculated that (he may be overestimating Samantha's competence as a leader, for example).
