No when he explained about the rework the other LI weren't mentioned so no changes in their stories I think he said there were a few changes in the intro and the covid dialogues. Apart from the graphical rework.We know that the entire eiko story plot had changed, but how about the others? Are their story plot also have some changes or just graphic upgrade?

Yes, a rework is currently taking place to fix certain plotholes and keep the storyline making sense going forward as well as giving the less seen girls more screen time.

Hey hey, we're back!
Had a busy few days, and might as well write a report to share what's up.
Not much irl to write about. Had some work done at home, and I finally had some measurements taken with battling with the ants. Still a huge amount of holes to plug with a chalk gun, but progress. Important medical visit today too, so lets see what they say.
Game progress wise has been going well. I kinda hoped I'd be rounding it fully now for testing, but it's taking longer to properly polish everything for ep2 alpha. I've decided to truly try and polish as many things I can for ep2 test, so the last third (ep3) could be much smoother and a bit quicker, and if I do get some comments about anything UI/UX related, I have plenty of time to change, and not panic at the very last testing.
Renders done as shown on sneak peeks. Went through all of them and had quite a few things to fix/some even redo (in total 140 minor clips/changes). Started going through game testing and adding music/sounds/transitions, 15% done.
The last two weeks in general could be summarized as "painful learning". I hate how often I've been corrected, and schooled on how to do things, but it's necessary to improve. I learnt multiple new things about Photoshop, got a newer update running too. I got bullied when I talked with people proficient with it how I did things But, I can also do some things on my own better, like better blurred pics:
I used to "smudge" before, but that left weird aftermarks on bodies... The guy with glasses here had giga thicc ties with the old way I did things
I've also taken a look at "effects" for text dialogue ingame, another thing I postponed for later. Not to worry, I'm not going to use some crazy effects constantly. Just had a few instances where it could either help in funny situations (like dots ... appearing slowly), and a few other situations I can't share now.
Then, I've decided to finally deal with something I've been avoiding for months (literally).
With the first bit of "coding" (the dialogue effects), I also took a look at the commissioned phone from Gary. God I hate being so dumb with renpy and coding... Anyone with remotely coding understanding does my work 10 times faster. Oh well.
After a lot of trial and error, both in trying to change some bits to my liking, but to also understand it, it's finally shaping into a nice look. The perfectionist in me is quite annoying for this. Still few things to change, maybe few extra features to add. But, as of right now, it does work, and you can see a random example how it could look here. Gary's stock messages and one extra long message to test here:
Overall, happy how it's going. Sure I'd love alpha testing of ep2 to start asap, but I'm even happier to finally polish some things that've been at the back of my work log for months. Big thanks to Gary, Pax, Messe and Cari for each of them letting me live in their dms to ask questions during last few weeks.
Love you all

ok, so last time I played this was to the end of v03 (at least that's where I assume the save had taken me as it's my last one more than a year ago).
I downloaded the 04b (not sure if the 'b' means it's ready or not) and my save all give me errors when I try to use them. It's possible I used a mod back then, but I've tried without the current mod and with it (for the walkthrough) and both have issues with my saves (all my saves).

Try deleting the save data, it can be found in c/users/yourself/AppData/Roaming/RenPy/FatesCollide and delete the files in the saves folder which can be found in FatesCollide-0.4-pc/game/saves
This means you will have to use the skip function (turn on skip unseen text in settings menu) to skip to the end of 0.3 or start again, but it might resolve your issue. If not try asking in the discord as it's probably easiest.
thanks, I just found that there's a not in the release notes saying that the game will not work with saves from pervious versions and you'll have to start from the beginning, so I guess this game is basically over for me as I guess it will be the same on every release (not that they come out very frequently), so I'm going to drop this game and get on with others that don't have this issue (there are plenty of them), thanks for the suggestion though

Feels like it wouldn't be that hard to catch up to where we left off

it wouldn't cause you can just use ctrl skip even if you play every path like I do wouldn't take that long. Tho in the rework that is a little bit of a different story cause there will be new content so you would probably miss something

Heyooo!
New report inbound, and with some good news!
As mentioned in previous report/s, I've finally reached the end of Episode 2 reworking, and it's been packed and sent to my few trusted members to test. It's definitely long overdue to reach it, but I'm really happy that it's finally in their hands.
Animations are a pain. I always leave them for last, and then I always remember why I hate them and do it last
And so far, good reception from the few individuals that tried. Of course anything I say can be just countered with #paidadvert , but jokes aside, seems that the cooking was done well. A slight delay of Ep2 Alpha test was due to me trying to make it as complete as possible, with all the UI stuff etc. However, with the extra time I've spent polishing it, there were (probably for the first time ever?) no game breaking bugs, missing features, crashes and so on. So far only one variable was wrong that I changed incorrectly in last minute testing, and naturally some small typos and grammar improvements here and there.
Oh, and as always, one character had wrong total relationship points count. KatMoment.
And that makes me so happy!
Still a way to go, as one third still remains, but the Dopamine rush from packing a game that I've been missing for ages is slowly getting back. Hopefully it stays for the last stretch hah.
Nothing else to truly add, really. I'm on some small medications but otherwise healthy, and now also happy.
Thank you all for patience as always, and in a few months, can't wait to have similar post but for ep3 being done.
Till next report,
Kat <3
