So much cut content. Went from edgy and interesting, to sanitary. Whole world native feels castrated, the darkness it had replaced by rainbows.

And those cut content is?

He probably forgot to remove the filter to gore and force play. I did at first and i thought there was a lot of cut content. I was wrong.

Oh definitely cause I already checked the images folders already, nothing got cut.

 

[Juicespectre]

So MC can't pee on Asha anymore what the fuck dude.

Go to options and switch on Forceplay

 

[SonsOfLiberty]

there was a save provided for the new version; it is not quite at the begining of 0-17 but is close if you dont feel like starting from 0.

That is a dev save (it is a very common thing for a lot of games) so you can just see the newish content but it is not your personal save with your choices, and you also don't get to see all the reworked and changed content and code changes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, for all the people saying there is cut content.....

 

[Cynicaladm]

here we go again....can't belive this shit...months for have a small contents update and again saves won't works?? really dev...wtf is wrong with you...can't belive , really...so few new contents after months and i need to start ove for the 4th tome..i like the damn story and settig, so i will probably restart the game but this is pissing me off a lot..p.s. and of course this is only a beta and we will need to weait x time to get the final version...bah

1) if you've had saves that didn't work before this update, that's on you, because that just wasn't the case until now, shouldn't be happening and if you reached out we would have fixed it for you. You probably used a mod or a walkthrough... Or you play the game on a potato.
This time, yes, you have to start anew because of reasons that we have been mentioning in every update for months. They have been mentioned in this forum for several pages now

2) if you can't keep it in your pants and have to download a beta version which everybody knows is going to be bugged and missing content, you do not come bitching about it being a beta without looking like a fool.

3) as for the new content... Again, reading any of the updates the Dev gives every week would have told you that the game's code has been rewritten from the ground up and several old scenes have been remade and extended, which in and of itself warrants a replay.
Yes, there is also a fair bit of new content, but that was never the goal of this update.
If you can't be arsed to keep updated about the development of the game, and it aggravates you, you should not be playing a game that is in development.
If you are a supporter of the game, you should be receiving regular updates. You not reading them is on you.
If you're not a supporter of the game, you still have plenty of options to keep up to date.
If you can't be bothered to and all you do is pirate the game and play it when you see it listed in the new releases, without caring to read the first sentence that appears on screen about it being a beta release...
Frankly, we couldn't give less of a fuck about your momentary discomfort.

If any who read this reply that aren't Indio feel somehow called out: congratulations, you were . Grow up.

I'm starting to think whoever came up with the naming conventions of game releases knew what they were doing, since every time a beta version gets leaked, it seems to trigger bitching and moaning from a certain type of individuals.

rewriting code from the ground up and have less things work than before...

 

[RX-9/C]

rewriting code from the ground up and have less things work than before...

It almost like it a BETA test. OH MY GOD.

 

[Cynicaladm]

rewriting code from the ground up and have less things work than before...

Selective reading is still reading, so... progress, I guess?
Keep at it, champ... You'll get there, eventually.

We need a whole new emoji so we can give the special lil fellas encouraging headpats.

 

[RandyPhoenix]

OLD SAVES will not work for v0.17 and beyond

OH COME ON! You can't be serious now

 

[Lordroedor]

rewriting code from the ground up and have less things work than before...

Yeah, that happens when you rewrite an entire game. That's why it's a beta version.

And those cut content is?

No, it's on. Most of the player agency scenes that were at all edgy were removed. Cant fingerbang your niece in front of her dad. Removing removes a whole strength of the game that made it interesting to replay, its dark and gritty world that's big on sharing and power play. Now that world setting is just lip service. Beheading someone is fine but banging your niece in front of a guard and pregnant woman and a guard is to much. Don't get a choice in the beheadings but you did with how you interacted with her. Not just her that's changed but a lot of little things that had choices. But her whole ark has changed, she helped to give you agency to explore the world, now she's just window dressing. You can still enjoy her scenes but the impact she gave you to explore the world is stolen along with your choice to explore differences in that world.

 

[RuberFF]

The game keeps resetting the name of the MC and the relashionship names every time i close the game, how do i fix this? this isn't even the first game that gives me this trouble

This could just be a BETA issue bud. We'll see at full release.

 

[With The]

seriously this game worth playing again from start

This at least is a properly argumented criticism i can do something with.
As far as we know, the scenes regarding Nadia should be unchanged and unaffected by the reworks, including the different choices you mention. It could be a bug. Did you look at her scenes from the gallery using the save we provided? Or did this happen on an actual play through? Because the save is mostly there to allow testers to access the new scenes, not to look back/browse.

Do you have amnesia or something? Those scenes literally not even in the rework content.



Also literally in the past updates you can't even finger her in front of her dad, so how is it cut content?



And in case you want to say the fuck in front of the guard scene is missing, here you go

 

[Talishan]

I am actually a bit confused by the old saves not working thing. My old save worked fine. I had to replay some of the content, but not a crazy amount. Overall I was very satisfied with the update, there was a bit more new content than usual, which is kind of crazy if the systems were also being reworked. There weren't THAT many bugs, either. A couple of errors that ignore worked to get past and a couple of missing images.
