I wonder if this inability to load week one is a trap coded in to check for piracy. I did notince in the log file I uploaded a few days ago a reference to Steam.

This is game checking if it should sync achievements with Steam, nothing to do with piracy check.

I just played through the latest version of week 1 and wasn't able to transfer my savegame to week 2 as well, so I looked further into the issue and noticed that the endgame save of week 1 actually gets successfully written into the multipersistent save file in %APPDATA%\RenPy\persistent\FetishLocator, but unfortunately it gets overwritten with an empty copy when you start the new week 2 game. In my case, the file size got reduced from about 5 KB to barely a 100 Bytes. This happens during the initialization of the FetishLocatorSaveSystem class, so the endgame save from week 1 is already lost by the time you get to see the main menu of week 2.

Took me a while to track the exact location of the bug down but I haven't found a fix for it yet. I'm not that proficient with Python or Renpy, maybe someone else can find a solution for this or forward my findings to the dev.

Good catch. I'm 90% sure this piece in classes.rpy is the root cause

Code:

 try:
                self.mp                 = MultiPersistent("FetishLocator")
                if not self.week.str_cur in self.mp.__dict__:
                    self.mp.__setattr__(self.week.str_cur, {})
                    self.mp.save()
   self.previous_mp_saves  = self.get_previous_mp_saves()
                self.sort_previous_mp_saves("timestamp", True)

If it doesn't see current week string in MP storage, it initialises and saves. I think the problem that it does that before trying to locate previous week save, so the MP storage is being overwritten by an empty one. Should be fixed by moving two lines that load previous weeks before call to save.

I already tried to change the order and I also tried to completely remove the part where the game writes the `week2` attribute into the multipersistent file. I managed to prevent the game from overwriting the whole file that way but it still can't find the week1 entry in there. I compared the code of all 3 weeks since I read that save transfer from week 2 to 3 works fine (haven't played so far myself yet) and honestly, the code looks fine to me, I can't see what the dev did wrong there.

I'm starting to believe that this might be an engine bug. Maybe updating the game engine to the latest Renpy version might do the trick.

You are right, there is a message on their discord about that.

I can confirm this issue. We updated Week 1 to Ren'Py 7.6.0 recently and that broke the saves. We are on it and it will be fixed soon.

The solution for Steam version is to update the Week2.

Game's decent but it is pretty vanilla, there are not many fetishes. It is mostly urination.

True, art and writing is fantastic, but the content is relatively tame. Needs some bestiality or scat or something like that. Optional of course.

I'm not into scat, but I'm with you on bestiality. Something along the lines of Animopron. Unfortunately, there is only something like 1.5 bestiality games of a more or less decent quality.

There is scat and bestiality is banned by a lot of companies

L0lis are also banned by a lot of platforms but there are still a lot of Devs working on that sort of content. On the other hand, bestiality seems to be far less popular in the AVN world.

And lolis aren't on steam, so no way for them to add it

acgamer69 · Dec 7, 2023

You could just make two versions, one with the banned fetishes, and one without them for steam, but I guess that's too much work, and there is little point in putting resources into scenes that a lot of players will never see.

Cartageno · Dec 7, 2023

I would guess the problem is not so much "getting it on Steam/Patreon" (although that certainly will play a role as well) but more a combination of "certain kinks will repulse other players if included" and most importantly "devs themselves are not into it" and it's no use trying to do a kink you do not understand yourself.

I'm not talking about the Stream. I'm talking about everywhere in general. There are good l0li games even here. There are one or two half decent bestiality games at all.

well patreon says no to bestiality, subs prolly too.

Thanks to everyone investigating the inability to load week 1 to week 2. I've been trying an hour to get it to work and at least now I know I'm not crazy. Bailing on this game until that bug is fixed.

That might be quite some time unfortunately. Instead I would recommend starting week 2 up and answering the questionnaire. You wil lose nothing this way and can go on enjoy this game.

Did the ending for the Lyssa + Oliver route ever get finished? Version I have downloaded ends on a placeholder card.

Ah. Wasn't sure if it was just something that went unfinished since the thread has the "completed" tag and such or if it would get a proper ending at some later point.
