You know, maybe continue reading the scene before asking questions. Let it play out ok?Hive quest is broken in the new release? I get the cutscene introducing the queen then the next slide is us in the car after she's been killed?
i read that buddy thats why i ask if someone who had played the new version already had a save for it if youre not going to help at least dont send stupid messagesHaahahahahahaha!
+ I think it'd be wise to delete your persistent file(s) if you've played the beta earlier. InsideC:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\DesertStalkerEA-100001
, but you should delete inside game'sgame\saves
folder as well (including the saves there, or just delete whole folder).
You can, just need to pick the more harsh option before ('take her out').I can't 'hydrate' Asha at the start now?
I recall from the beta that there will be a message in the quest log saying that's all the content for now (or smthng) for that quest (all sub-items should be crossed out).Is there still supposed to be a symbol that shows you have finished all released content like there used to be? Because I'm not getting that and just wondering if my game is bugged.
Agreed, especially the introduction to decayed's cannibalism is much less intimidating in the new version.I don't really understand why, but when I started the new version from the beginning, I felt that these scenes are a bit, ehem, dry. To be honest I didn't play it for long time, but I remember some scenes to be different between the last two versions (0.16 vs 0.17). What I can tell that is differend by now: Shani taunting zombies with joke? Gone. Quest from queen to exterminate Decayed? Simplified. Also the town midnight encounter is somewhat dissapointing. You aren't saving slave, which is probably better, but mutant girl for Yuna (this time without note engraved on knife). I did like the previous content before. I wonder if these changes are created for the steam version or if it's remake.
You do know the game rework completely the code and migrated to a newer version of the Renpy engine right?So you're telling me that after years of development all saves got nuked without a single option to help 99% of the playerbase that aren't new players but have old saves?
No automatic save migration of any kind for a simple RenPy save with simple numerical values that everyone can see with RenPy save editors online?
No prepared saves that people can use in the new version?
No quickstart option where you can select your biggest choices made previously before it continues the story with the new content?
All of the above options were done many times previously by many different devs in much more complex RenPy games.
"B-BUT THE GAME ISN'T FINISHED SO THE DEV CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS BECAUSE OF THAT!"
Not an argument. Not everyone is a cuckold.
Subscriptions without strict content expectations is one of the worst things that could have happened to any industry. The dev seeing that he can earn the exact same or more money over time for less work month after month is an inevitability every single time. What an embarrassment.
None of that prevents any of the solutions I've outlined.You do know the game rework completely the code and migrated to a newer version of the Renpy engine right?
Why would they follow any of those "solutions" of yours? The game is meant to ship out in a whole completely new form. Why would they slap a save for you to skip all new the content they worked hard reworking on? 15 minutes of your life pressing the skip button is so hard bro.None of that prevents any of the solutions I've outlined.
I have a concern the Patreon police will drop the hammer on a lot more if they look into it.You mean this scene?

This is the repeatable "Sleep with Ain" scene and it wasn't removed. It'll become available after you allow Ain to leave the basement after her punishment.
The problem wasn't sexual content with Ain. That's obvious because there's a LOT of sexual content with Ain. The problem was that some few renders in the game made her look underaged. Namely, a handful of renders in the "welcome home" blowjob scene at the end of day 1. That scene in particular was apparently flagged in the Patreon review, so the devs simply opted to remove those renders instead of nuking the whole scene.
Except those aren't really solutions. A save migration button would not be appropriate in this case. If it were a situation where the VN were split into separate installs where the old version was kept as "season 1" like some devs do (Eg, Desert Stalker and Desert Stalker 2), then I'd agree but that's not the case here. In this case, the code was ENTIRELY revamped and the renpy version got updated and the old game version is deprecated. There would be no sense in writing in a save conversion calling back to a version that is no longer there. In this case, just start a new save and be done with it just this once. You won't have to expect to do this every update.None of that prevents any of the solutions I've outlined.
