There are a couple of ways that 'existing saves' could be rescued, but of course that would require an additional time investment to code the start of the new day in such a way that you'd be 'brought up to speed' if you were missing new variables from previous events that may have been modified or added. It could be as simple as 'so, on Day 5, while with this person, do you choose A or B?' or if you wanted to get fancy, you could flash back to the 'revised scene' and play through it again without having to replay all of the other events that aren't significantly affected by that scene.

So it can be done, Mr Dots simply chooses not to bother.

And FYI, making people play through the whole game yet again is NOT a good thing. And IMHO it's somewhat rude to people that have been following this game through so many iterations to expect them to have to start from the beginning, AGAIN...

I agree both those options would be a twist and would probably be met with a lot of negativity too. however the raging horn dog in me can't agree with the only two of them comment. gimme d and g for the rest of my life and ill be happy
I guess that's what multiple endings are for, every player can find his perfect happy ending!

While i can understand your point to an extent i think its a bit much to call Dots rude, perhaps he made the choice not to so that he can spend his time getting the actual content completed quicker. replaying the game to see the updated content is a small price to pay when you get the content quicker imo

Even though the core game will in the most part be the same there is going to be a lot more content added that a new play through will be needed to see all the great new content.
I for one have no problem in replaying a great game.

As someone who has spent a fair amount of time working within other people's code in RenPy, let's just say that I respectfully disagree r.e. the time that would be required to incorporate a simple check/update for the variables that are missing. Even setting up the 'flashbacks' wouldn't be that hard if you wanted to do that. If we are talking dozens of scenes, maybe, but if we are talking just a few scenes, yeah not that hard.

At the very least, I'd suggest an option to 'jump' to the first point of significant divergence from the old story in the dialogue.

When I say significant, if it's something meaningless like say 'well we used to have 2-3 choices, but really there is only one now' simply include that in the 'So you are jumping to here, but before then we removed these other choices, 'cuz they are no longer part of the story'. Most seasoned players that have already played through a few times will know these, and won't be 'thrown off' by the reference. And you can also include a 'I need to go back to that scene so I understand' option for those that need to start from that point.

Obviously, the 'game ending' choices aren't going to be relevant in this case, otherwise you wouldn't advance in the story, so you can simply 'incorporate' the correct choices within the 'jump forward to where the story has changed option'.

Keep in mind the amount of content already ingame, and while yes people could just 'ctrl' through the old dialogue, it's still going to take some time.

Again fair points but isnt the job selection on like day 2 or 3? and wont it change a bunch of events in the future? i mean i cant imagine the office scenes will all be the same wether you are a doctor or a programmer or an exec. i still feel it warrants a new play through but i respect your opinion as well

You know I don't like to use mods or walkthroughs.:)
Yeah i know you don't like to use them, but was just suggestion :). I know you enjoy the game so if you will replay again all 3 paths go ahead and have fun with it. I haven't use it myself so far had no need, but its good way too see whats the difference on paths or what are you missing i guess :).

WHY NOT BOTH?

not sure if that mod will work with job selection.. guess it depends on how its implemented. either variable or jump
I am no doubt that ikaruga will make it work. He is good at that stuff :)

Hi guys!
So today my page was banned for a few hours. Most of you already know this because I sent you a PM earlier today. Turns out many devs have been banned for creating incest-related material.

I was very lucky because I think I was among the firsts ones to be banned and I could quickly respond and get in touch with Patreon support so they unbanned me pretty quickly. However, many devs including Lewdlabs have not been unbanned yet.

In my case, I had to remove all tags, posts and images related to DM* (shhh we can't talk about you know who anymore here). They told me they will be visiting my page back tomorrow to review that everything is okay, so we're not out of the woods yet :(

You guys sent me a lot of messages and I'm super greatful for your concern. I tried to respond as many as I could but I thought making a post would be better. Sorry if I couldn't respond yours.

ABOUT THE UPDATE

As for the update, it will be delayed two days (Sunday 22nd) because I want to be sure that I won't be banned again tomorrow and I want to be sure that I can send you the new content via PM without getting banned. It's all very confusing right now and I want to make things right. That's why I'll keep in touch with Patreon support during the next two days to make sure that everything is okay and let you know of any news concering the game. I hope you understand.

Thanks so much for the support guys! You are the best.

Mrdots.

With all the incests games, Patreon could lose a lot of money...
It was said yesterday, that this is not the place to comment on Patreon, the Discord section should be used for that.
