Saves have been compatible with newer versions since 0.3. If this is going to change (and it will at some point, if only temporarily), I will make an announcement about it.
there us no nominal transfer, basic ren'py behavior is dumping everything into %appdata%\renpy\assorted numbers_game's project name or other and drawing it from there, too.
I don't think that's what people are wondering about when they ask that question. Many adult game developers invalidate saves from previous versions (deliberately or not) whenever they release a new one. Long Live the Princess has a special save game patcher that runs whenever you load a save, fixing issues with saves from specific version if necessary. This makes all saves since version 0.3 forward compatible. People don't want to invest 5+ hours in one version of the game only to have to restart in the next version.
The game isn't linear, so your progress in one storyline doesn't really tell me if you've reached the end of the game's content or not. You have reached the end of Evelyn's content at least, though you might want to avoid having her leave since she won't be coming back.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
There are several games where the wrong choices leads to a bad ending, but I don't think there's any one out there that gives the "bad ending" so soon. I honestly do not know if I should applaud you or tell you there's a special kind of hell.
There will be much more content with her, but you've stumbled into a "bad end" indeed. Still, this is the kind of game where I want to reward every choice in different ways. By going that route, you've unlocked a scene that you won't be able to see otherwise.
No. There are no new ability increases planned short-term. We'll get there.
This is why I would never implement an aggregated review score without first weighing the reviews. Averages are too easily skewed by outliers. Weighted averages takes this into consideration.
At the risk of sounding stupid, how would you implement a weighted average system here?
I have no idea. I might even be using the wrong term. All I know is that it's possible to implement averages that disregard extreme outliers.
Damn, so no convincing Evelyn not to leave (or changing her opinion on the matter before she does) before the end scene next update? Breaking my heart here. Looking forward to it all the same.
Well on the plus side, it's obvious from pretty early on that you're going to need her darkest secret before you can pursue that path successfully. I'm just guessing but it will probably be at least several more months before that happens. I could throw out some some mostly unfounded speculations on the course of the next few updates, but then Belle would have to come and shoot them down. Or possibly correct them, which may not be a bad thing...
In this case, you could, if the number of reviews is greater than 10, take the bottom 10% or 5%, and top 10/5% and toss them out. I think that displaying the median instead might also work.
"Path of Glory." You'll be able to find the titles of all the music in the credits in version 0.10.
Feel free to speculate. I generally don't comment upon speculation about future plot developments.
