First time posting in this thread so I'd like to thank Runey for creating this awesome game and say I was really impressed with the writing on some parts, especially Ashley's backstory, what at first seemed like a token yandere character developed into a character I really started to feel and empathize for when we start learning more about her.
Now, I know the new update recommends starting a fresh save since some events have changed and I gotta ask, and I know this might seem unfair to ask a game still in development, but will there be more of these "start a new save" in the future? Cause I don't really feel like starting all over every time a new update drops =/.
If I import my saves to a fresh install of a new update can I at least use the "Skip already seen text" function other games use? (btw how does this work in this game, in the options menu under skip you just see unseen text, do I need to select (put the arrows next to it) or deselect (no arrows) so that the game doesn't skip text I haven't read before).
Sorry for all the questions and since were almost there I wish everyone a Happy New year.
It seems like Runey wants to rework pretty much all of the old content to fit more with his new standard for HH, so there will likely be more updates like this latest one where starting a new game is encouraged since there's still quite a bit of outdated content. That's just the way it'll be with playing an unfinished game. Though I imagine he will try to keep it so that it's never actually required to start a new game if you don't want to. It'd have to be a
major change to warrant that, and thus far the game is mostly linear as far as story goes, so I don't imagine that'll happen. At least, not often, anyway.
As for the thing about skipping, if you use the skip function (either by holding CTRL or toggling with Tab) the game will skip past text you've already seen, but stop skipping if you hit a line you haven't seen before. If you put an arrow next to the "Unseen Text" option in the settings then the game will just skip past all dialogue, regardless if you've seen it or not. Now, when I played this most recent update, I found that only a handful of dialogue was skipped though and it was treating about 80% of the game as if I've never viewed it before even though I have in previous updates, but there seems to be a bit of a problem with my current download of the game anyway (I get errors on start up), so that might just be a me problem. I should just do a fresh install, probably.
By the way, assuming you're playing HH on the same device you played it on originally, you shouldn't have to manually import save files. Save files should be stored in appdata instead of the game's files so they should carry over. At least, that's how every Ren'py game I've ever played has worked for me.
