Would be a great feature if each thread here could have it's own FAQ page. Just assign some topic buffs to administer it & let's go. I'll drop it in the Feature Requests section (if it's not already there) ;)

I also think it doesn't hurt to read Paz's post from last Saturday where he responds to some initial comments regarding the beta.

The smoothbrains it'd be targeted at wouldn't read it anyway, or if they did, too smooth of a brain to understand it.

And when people learn that their saves from this Beta won't transfer to the next version, they will have to restart the game from scratch. Fun times are guaranteed...

Yes that's why One shouldn't start playing the beta and expecting to not have any problems later on.

So basically the new update is nothing more than rework scenes:sneaky:
no new missions except the mutants

Not very familiar with the topic, but that seems related to your issue. I suppose you didn't make a backup of security_keys.txt?
Restore that, or revert the read-only or simply delete the file.
You may/will get a new generated key, and get security warnings when trying to load a save. First you'll have to trust the save, then you'll get "do you trust the device the save was created on". When you say yes to that all your saves (that were signed with the same key) will be trusted so you won't be asked again.

Have a look at the top (best) comment of that thread. It points to an F95 post: New Ren'Py Token Check (when creating a save) #20

Also (to whom it may concern): Ain's punishment :LOL: ;)

Someone here who knows what the 0.17 title tune is? Sounds like a module (tracker music) actually :)

It's called Chili's Theme in the rpa, but they renamed that from it's original title I reckon.

Talking about music, since the game is also rather music/soundtrack focused, perhaps also taking pride in that, I think it'd be nifty/classy to display the current song top right or something when it starts playing (and fade out again after a couple of secs).

There could be an setting to display it only on it's first play (for that session or for the whole playthrough), but then perhaps be always available to check when pressing Esc.

The soundtrack can do with some track normalization btw; there can be a pretty large difference in volume or loudness between tracks (making me volume juggle). I suppose you could do that in software (a gain table or something), leaving the (possible already lossy) audio files alone.

Cheers!

And what updates those are. In the span of time most games get 2-4 updates (8 updates if you're a crazy hyperactive Frenchman working on Life's Payback) you get one update with a few new scenes and a complete rework of the existing game that invalidates all your old saves...

Because reworks/remasters of unfinished Porn games in the middle of their developement has such a great track record of being the right decision to make and never backfires. Just look around F95! :ROFLMAO:

Jokes aside - I wish Zetan good luck. He has great art and storytelling skills that capture a lot of players and as long as his Patrons are willing to support his frequency of updates the game will be fine. Personally I'll wait for the actual full Steam release and hope that my grandkids will finally get to play the story the way it was meant to be :ROFLMAO:

Thank you for using my game as a reference.

As a reward, I will deliver to you 4 anal scenes asap.

one save break is ok, it's just when you hate your players as much as the [UNNAMED GAME] devs do and force restarts on every patch that it sucks.

It's just one save break, right? 0.18 will work with the 0.17 save?

Who knows, never guaranteed anything, if Renpy engine decide to do an update again or if there more reworks to be done in the future that affects future events. Then yes you will have to start over again. And if you really really don't want to play it all over again every update. I highly recommend you to NEVER ever play this game again until it finishes. Is that answer satisfied?
