VN Ren'Py Grandma's House [Part 5 v0.71] [Moonbox]

i dont get it. do i need to download and play part 1, then download and play part 2 and so on?

That is correct. Treat each part as a separate game.

This comes up often after each release. Maybe the small text in the first post is not clear enough? It does not state explicitly that each part is a separate game. This is obvious for those who have been playing this game since the beginning, but I understand that it can be confusing for many new players.

Note: You need to play Part 1/2/3/4 and save exactly when the game tells you to before you can play Part 2/3/4/5
Note2: Same instructions for switching from Part 2 to Part 3, Part 3 to Part 4 and Part 4 to Part 5​

Besides making that font larger, I suggest rewriting the text like this (feel free to adapt as necessary):

Note: Each of the parts 1/2/3/4/5 is a separate game. You should play each of the previous parts until its end and then save exactly when the game tells you to before you can play the next part. You can then start the new part and import the file that you have just saved.​

Won't matter unfortunately.......

The problem with this, was evidenced yesterday.
Telling people to "save exactly where the game tells them to" is not specific enough for some.
Some were confusing the "Rollback and save" screen at the end of each update, with the "SAVE NOW!" screen at the end of each Part.
Then complaining that the game wasn't working correctly.

The other problem with this, is that it still requires people to read.
How many times was "Sex with Nana yet?" asked, despite the huge yellow text in the OP saying "No sex with Nana yet" being there?

A software tester walks into a bar.

Runs into a bar.
Crawls into a bar.
Dances into a bar.
Flies into a bar.
Jumps into a bar.
And orders:
a beer.
2 beers.
0 beers.
99999999 beers.
a lizard in a beer glass.
-1 beer.
"qwertyuiop" beers.
Testing complete.
A real customer walks into the bar and asks where the bathroom is.
The bar goes up in flames.


No matter what warnings are put at the end of the game or on the OP, people will always create new problems, but this doesn't mean we should do nothing

IMO, some of the people were likely trolls, especially the ones who don't bother to defend their initial questions or comments. Personally, I make a separate save for the end of each part, just as a precaution.

I'm sure a lot of them are trolls, but there's nothing that can be done about them. You can only deal with people acting in good faith.

That was my point. My suggestion was not about solving all problems. That will never happen. There will always be people who do not read or who do not understand. There will also always be some trolls who pretend that they do not understand.

But if we can improve the wording of the hints and maybe reduce the number of confused players, then it is a win anyway, no matter how small.

I agree, that's why I said "but this doesn't mean we should do nothing".

OK, I never played the game(s) but that cosplay at the end was the SquareEnix female androids game, right?

Yes. Zelda was cosplaying A2 and Debbie was cosplaying 2B from Nier: Automata.

 

[Reniere]

To bad Debbie is a one off character

 

[HornyyPussy]

To bad Debbie is a one off character

Is she?

 

[Reniere]

Is she?

i looked into the relationship option and she isnt there but i could be wrong

 

[MAGO-DAG]

To bad Debbie is a one off character

Don't give up, take back your hope for Debbie!

 

[S1nsational]

i looked into the relationship option and she isnt there but i could be wrong

Well the taxi driver isn't a one off and she's not on the relationship page, same thing with the Mable's daughter

 

[bamachine]

Yeah, I forgot the title. I have it on my, play it eventually, list. I have played most of the Square and Enix then Square Enix games. The idea of playing androids just did not really appeal to me too much, no matter how hot they might look.

Maybe we can have another threesome with Zelda and Debbie, cosplaying as Aerith and Tifa or as Yuna and Rikku.

You're quite correct, it doesn't mean that we should do nothing. I do not know if anyone did propose that, I certainly did not.
But what we should do needs to be correct, which was my whole point.

Stating in the OP "Save where it tells you to" is not remotely specific enough to solve the issue for most who encounters problem with save transfers at the start of a new part. The game tells people to save at the end of each update & saving there does nothing when you start a new part. Only saving on the black SAVE NOW! screen does.

So, if we're going to add something, it needs to tell them specifically where & when to save, otherwise we're just going to get more questions, complaints, people saying they followed the instruction to the letter but it didn't work.
Which makes it worthless.

The weirdness of some people not getting something I find simple despite my quirks is enough to give me a small headache. If I knew how to do it I would post the one gag reel of famous characters putting their hands on their faces in annoyance every time it gets asked shortly after it was already explained. I've lost count of how many times I've seen a question asked when the answer was already posted in the same page or one/two pages a short while ago, and on the same day the question was asked.

I don't remember this one. I meant another one with one character from the Stargate SG-1 series.
