A question for those who play the updates, how is it done? I mean, if they add new content, they just start from the beginning or use another method.

This question may seem very idiotic, but I am an idiot and the question complements me.

Usually those who play it make a save right at the end of the update (before the "thank you for playing" screen). Saves are stored in two folders: the save folder in Eternum's game folder, and the other is somewhere in the Appdata folder. Because the latter exists, it's safe for people to simply delete the game when they're done if they need the space, since the saves will still be accessible once a new update comes along.

When an update gets uploaded (either a leak for the Demon Lord tier or any of the other patreon tiers or the Public Release), players are basically redownloading the game with the latest update already patched in. As of now there are no "Patch Only" uploads for the game where the player can download the patch and then apply it to their copy of a previous version of the game (which saves bandwidth). And no, I don't know why that is, maybe Cari just finds the process tedious on his end, which is why you and your bandwidth will just have to bear with it.

Once you DL the game with the latest version, you can load from the save prior to the "thank you for playing" screen and the game just continues from there (unless you've played the game with a modded save, in which case you're gonna have problems unless you apply the latest version of the mod you were using, one that's compatible with the latest update).

Sidenote though: if you're playing a leaked Demon Lord beta version, then expect occassional crashes when you try to load saves and typos in the game's narrative and dialogue. If you want a more polished experience, it's recommended that you wait for the Public Release of the latest update as that's usually the version where the bugs are ironed out and the typos have been proofread.

Hope that covers everything.

Or, you can be an idiot like me, and have nearly a TB space filled with just Ren'py games, versions of game, mods for said games, save-data saved in folders with game-data removed, wallpaper graphics for games, etc.

Used to have half a TB of that...but then my hard drive died.

...Then I tried to salvage the essentials (i.e. Eternum, OIAL) and make backup saves for them in case my SSD card died.

In the end though, it didn't die. It was my laptop that died instead.

I just regularly forget to copy over my screenshots into the folder of the new version, so I pretty much lose them with every update.

Of course he was tricking you, since we already know that it is Nancy.

My strategy has been to load from the beginning of the previous update, replay it and then continue playing the new update. That is, when 0.7 is released I will load the war scene that marked the beginning of 0.6 and play through both 0.6 and 0.7. It's a good way to mentally get back into the game after a long break, and ensures that you've played everything at least twice which helps you remember things.

Besides when playing the new update I tend to be too excited and rush things a bit too much, not really savoring the release, so it's good to go back and do a slow playthrough later on.

It's more than twice of my laptop total storage capacity

, Eternum alone cost me 5% of it

Takkatakka · Oct 30, 2023

I think I've only 450GB in "F95" games on my SSD.

A lot of them I've never really played.

I have 7 external SSDs ranging from 2tb to 8tb drives. Most of them contain Daz stuff.

Same. I need to clean my drive out. Again. I only play like 6 games.
