Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.19.4] [Zetan]

[-zoneout-]

Well poop. I just dl the game after many months and non of the saves work. I dont know how many hours in I was. Is it possible for anyone to upload their save that works with the current version but they did the story to v0.16c? Thats the last version I played to.

Just start over, that is what I recommend doing.

They're a good size in game. If they look different it's probably a perspective thing.

I didn´t say their size wasn´t good, but in the game they clearly seem a bit smaller to me than in these renders. I´m not complaining either way.

Here's something different! While I’m still busy with the main quest, I’ve decided to introduce the Temple of the Reverend Mothers into the game.
Remember the priestess from when you showed Kateryna the city? You’ll eventually be able to pay her a visit — but not only her. It’s one of the privileges of being a city-sponsored Desert Stalker. I’m working on creating a simple and quick introduction to the place, as well as a function that allows you to visit it repeatedly. There will be no strings attached: no commitment to a side quest on your part, and no special character requirements — not even Kateryna. Though she might be curious to see the temple herself one day.
I can’t yet say how many Reverend Mothers - or soon-to-be Mothers - you’ll be able to visit in version 0.20, but at least one of them will invite you into her room and dedicate herself once again to the repopulation of the only jewel of the post-apocalyptic desert... one baby at a time.
Render progress:
- Elder's Quest pt.2: 20%
- Temple: 10%
Basement:
- Ain: 65%
Other:
Script writing: 8%
Animations: 15%
(Note: I use percentages as a sort of progress through the scene script itself. The last 5% can take longer than the first 30% - it is not always proportional to the render amount.)

Seems like the next update will be a treat for the pregnancy fanbase.

There is your issue. They did some major changes that required a new game after the version you played. As it was said, it's best to start over.

The RenPy version changed with version 17.1. Your saves will not ever work. This happens with every RenPy change. The old version of RenPy was very limited. Zatan was forced to make this change when they decided to go to Steam also. I had to do the same and start over, but I did not have a problem with restarting. The game was still just as fantastic as the first time. If you are starting again with 19.2, it will be even better than when I did it.

As others have said, it's really best to start over. A ton of early content was reworked when they did the Ren'Py version update that broke saves anyways, so you'll get to enjoy a much more refined early game experience.
