put this in the game folder, should do the trick. it also works with any renpy game, although in can cause some bugs beware.

I feel like this is a preventable problem. It's would amazingly terrifying if you managed to reach this far as a developer without even using git. Jesus H. Christ.
Agreed, I've been using git for almost 20 years... just always for my job, and not for my side work... The first thing I did after this was set it up...
Long story short... I didn't want to set up git on a free public site with all my renders and dialogue easily available, (including my real name). I ended up creating my own personal git server last weekend to host this on an old pc I set up as a nas.

So did you end up rewriting all of it, or did you manage to recover some?
Luckily it was only the dialogue you lost (right?)...
Damn those renders posted above look hot (though, when I'm picky: Ivy seems a bit too thin in her waist there (sunbed), but that may be the angle. Mia ==
always )

I am re-writing it. (I lost the minigames too) But Re-writing is going fast because I remember all the big story points...So did you end up rewriting all of it, or did you manage to recover some?

Didn't have to rename it. works for me, just drop it in your [...]\EscapeFromIvyAndPiper[your_version]\game. Launch the game, go to the gallery and voilà. I haven't played the current build coz I'm wainting for dialogues but it should work, it actually does on almost all the renpy games I've played.
Almost done! Hopefully end of day? Maybe tomorrow

Hey all, I am just wrapping up all the work on re-writing the dialogue. I am going through looking for continuity errors and typos. I should have the version with dialogue (but still no minigames) Out tonight!!!
In the meantime, check out my latest Kickstarter (I'm just trying to get ahead on my finances and hopefully I can turn down some side construction work for the next few months...)

I am so sorry I didn't get the release out last night, I didn't have time to do all the reviewing, I will try to get it done tonight as soon as I am done with work!

Wow, the bad luck streak you've been having is incredible. I've only just now read the updates on the progress and setbacks, in my mind I was already trying to mentally prepare myself that this somehow got cancelled or something, from my glance awhile back at when the last substantial patch came out. But I also knew you have zero history of doing that, so I said to myself "chill, the emotional blue-balling and cliffhanger will get resolved... some day" lol
Hope things are going better for you. I'm actually considering patreon-ing for a bit, something not that common for me (I ADHD memory wipe myself out of things I love every week or so lol), thing is, I'm pretty dogshit financially lately. But I'll see what I can do at some point.
The update about losing your dialogue work was particularly devastating from my POV, since the dialogue (and the animations/sequenced renders ofc lol) are probably my favorite aspect of the game for me.
Even tho I didn't like how inconsistent both Ivy and Piper seemed to behave after the 'choking incident', everything up that point was hinting at clear attachments and empathy forming (especially with the dialogue choices that guilt tripped them), yet it feels like they both reset after that.
So does Valerie of course, but for her it actually makes sense (being ashamed that she's hiding stuff/betraying you into a early grave and wanting to spare both your character's and her feeling by being very cold) ...and is talked through, resolved and has 'closure' (no dialogue cock-blocking mid-conversation by 3rd party or characters constantly running away either lol).
And speaking of Valerie, the highlight for me for the entire playthrough (so far) is that is that there's finally kissing. And what a kissing scene that was! Easily the best POV kissing I've ever seen in these VN formats, the passionate POV "transitioning" from the kitchen to the bedroom is *chef's kiss* (if Valerie was a chef that is).
That scene, I like it! ANOTHER! *smashes mug*
Edit: I forgot there's also Mia kissing you one the cheek for helping her out and being gentleman-y. That brightened my playthrough/MCs day a lot as well (she's the only one I didn't mind at any point during the playthrough, to interact with, even after she admitted she likes to tease). What can I say? I love subversive stuff/flipping tropes. And what can be more subversive than making succubi express themselves romantically/fall in love with your character lol. Most other angles or tropes about succubi (or just hypersexual female characters) are done to death.
Damn, I should write a review at some point, but I might as well wait for whatever is up next.
I'd definitely would like to write a proper/formatted feedback post as well. Mad respect that you're so open to interactions and feedback from your base BTW
Best wishes

I am so sorry I overestimated how fast I could re-do the dialogue... And I forgot how much there actually was. Every time I played I was like... Oh.. I missed this... and this... It makes me even so much more furious I lost it. Since then I installed git, have multiple backups and versioning. This won't happen again. I need to take a small break for a few hours, then I am going to be back working on it tonight. Hope to have it out soon!
Hey All, I have all the dialog done. I will release it here in a few days if it doesn't get leaked... until then I am running a Kickstarter, it is for my next game, but really it's just to help me pay the bills in this economy... (I can't explicitly say that on a kickstarter...) If anyone can chip in, I would really appreciate it.
You will get immediate access to my website for any tier $50 or higher and I have a TON of renders and cool stuff to see. Any help is appreciated:
Here are some fun renders just because:

Is this game's story worth it? It may have good animation, but animation isn't all I care about, and a good, engaging story is. So, the question remains: is the game's story good, or is it just a quick burn?
