Something is wrong with your save game, and it's not my fault. You probably somehow managed to do a rollback past your save at some point, despite me having written a system to prevent it. It's not a bug (at least not in my code), and there's nothing I can do to fix it except tell you to reload an older save or start over.
Why would rolling back before your save be a bad thing? Feel free to get as technical as you want; I can take it! :)

Why indeed? That's what I asked myself when I came across that behavior in Ren'py. When you load a save in a newer version of a Ren'py game, any new variables added in that version are apparently added at exactly the point where you loaded. If you perform a rollback before that point, the changes made to variables in the update disappear as if they were never there, which, as far as Ren'py is concerned, they never were. A lot of players ran into bug after bug after bug in the early versions of LLtP because of this, and it didn't stop until I set a limit to rollbacks to prevent them from going before the latest save you loaded.

Yes, that's correct - if you add a variable, it's only valid from the place you added it. I'm not sure why moving forward wouldn't redefine the variable, but there's an easy way to get around that issue - use the "default" keyword every time you define a new variable.

See this post for a nice discussion on "default": https://f95zone.to/threads/newbie-guide-to-basic-variables-in-renpy.22709/

Personally, I like saving at the end of an update, then when a new update comes out I roll back a bit to get context for where I am in the story.

Yeah, I've started using default for new variables in later versions, but I don't dare go back and change it for existing variables since I don't want to risk breaking saves for players.

I think it would be OK, since it will only define the variable if it doesn't already exist, but I understand your reluctance to mess around with working stuff when you don't have the time/saves to do adequate testing.

Maybe you could stop the rollback blocking on future updates, since you're using default now? Turn it off at the first part of the new code, or don't turn it on if past a certain point in the story.

I won't turn it off until I do an update where I force everyone to restart. Remember, there are people jumping back into old saves from over a year ago. I believe we had an example of that just a few pages ago.

Any guess when that's going to be?

I understand not wanting to add complexity to work around a system that's going to be removed. No point in wasting cycles, right?

When it's necessary. Probably at the point when the main game cycle is finished and the endgame is ready to begin, since that will introduce the actual time limit.

Any content regarding solving the prophecy issue with the Fairy Queen isn't implemented yet or am I wrong? Cause I couldn't find any clues or anything anywhere.

I can't believe I'm playing a porn game for the plot first and everything else next. Fantastic update.

Also, I just discovered that there is a gallery in this game, and I have a locked scene under "Other girls". Can anyone tell me what this scene is about or how I can get it?
When you are working in Callie's store, a woman comes to collect a dress, you can pay 20 copper for her dress (buy it for her) and she rewards you.

A short update, but still a great playthrough. The Fairy Queen is rapidly nearing Belle as my favourite fey...

I am stumped though on how to go ahead with investigating her prophesy. Is that implemented yet?
