I used the old method, click the 'transfer' button in the previous version to export it for the new version. Then - when starting a new game in the new version - you can use the transferred game as basis.
but that's the problem, I don't see a 'transfer' option anywhere and can't play the new version at all even if I do 'new game' as it just sends me to the transfer window with no way of getting out of it....so at the moment this game is dead for me

To be honest I am completely baffled.
I just downloaded the latest version (last I played to the end of was 2-1.8.1d, so I have a save from the end screen of that.
When I open the latest on (part 3) I get told to 'transfer' the saves/status from previous one but there is NO OPTION to do that anywhere. If I load that final save it gives me no options at all and if I click on that screen it bails to the main menu where is no 'transfer' option.
So, how do I 'transfer' my previous game?

You haven't reached the end of season 2 yet. The final version of season 2 in the op is Lust-Academy-Season2-v1.12.1d and your last game was in 2-1.8.1d. Grab the final season 2 and play to the end and you will get the transfer option in the season 2 game.

A storyline change is a possible consequence. And there are no consequences whatsoever.
"Consequences" are something bad happening when making the wrong choice. "Storyline changes" are merely different outcomes depending on your choices. They are not the same thing.
But, then you DID say "possible" consequence. So...that means story changes do not necessarily mean consequences..But...I assume you are saying this game is linear AF, and choices do not even matter. Because if there are no consequences, and story changes are the same as consequences, then there are no story changes, and therefore choices are pointless.

That's not exactly true (so far). A consequence is what happens after making "A" choice. A "consequence" is not necessarily something bad. You can say "As a consequence, all birds fly southwards". That's nothing bad, is it?
It's just people who use it often in the wrong way, just as they confuse "irony" with "coincidence". Probably dictionaries will reflect the new meaning at some point.

I meant it the other way around. A story change is one of the possibilities that can happen as consequence. In some cases the consequence can be a scene or a dialog completely unrelated to the story. The story change is one possible conseqence of an event.

..But...I assume you are saying this game is linear AF, and choices do not even matter. Because if there are no consequences, and story changes are the same as consequences, then there are no story changes, and therefore choices are pointless.
The last sentence pretty much sums it up. You can skip all 'sexy' Victoria scenes and still have MC bang her in the end. NPCs will react to the MC just the same, no matter if you ended up in bed with them. This is not a sandbox game. It's a story based game playable as sandbox. There are several story arcs, which you can complete or chose not to. But the next season will assume that you completed all of the previous stories.

Finished part one, went to import my save to part 2 but I only have my manual saves, the last one being before hours of grinding all the content in part one. Why does the game not auto generate a 'final' save when you do the final scene? I didn't even get a chance to make a final save of my own, just booted me to the main menu. Can't figure out how to leave a review but this alone makes it a 1 star.

A save AFTER the final scene would not work anyway, that's outside the script. But on the last shown picture you should be able to make one.
Check the auto saves generated by Ren'Py (click the 'A' on the bottom when loading). One might be a lot closer to the end than your last manual save.

So, basically should just be a kinetic VN, with the kinetic tag, and just forget all the choices. lol

What's really missing from these AVNs is the “just had sex before" variable. It could trigger some dialogue: "I can smell and taste someone's juices yet still suck your dick like you just got out of the shower!”

In the latest version, whose other extra scene is it? one is Victoria, another is Haley, but I still have a scene missing and I don't know who it is and how to unlock it.

Don't confuse gameplay with story. VNs can have choices and consequences.
But especially in kinetic VNs you click forward until you reach the end (gameplay). That is not what you do here. This game is much closer to a classic adventure game (especially those released in chapters, like Tales of Monkey Island and the Sam & Max Seasons, you can play each episode independently). Without the time dependent events it would be even closer.

Those games have a story, a plot, sub story arcs. But you can freely move around, in many cases decide the order in which you do things. Some adventure games have choices and different paths to follow, some have not, and in some cases choices affect only a cut scene or a dialog.

In books, you turn pages till you reach the end. Is that also gameplay?
Only if you consider a book to be a game (like most her consider VNs to be games), since that is what you are doing besides from collecting informations with your eyes. I would welcome a bette term for it however

But if THAT is the one point from my post that left an impression, then you didn't understand it at all. Please read it again.
(you know, all that stuff about adventure game, basically everything in the post was more important than this one sentence)

VN = Visual Novel
KVN = Kinetic Visual Novel
A visual novel can exist without being kinetic. Kinetic means moving in a straight path...no choices.
The word 'game' has multiple definitions, and if you choose to use the one definition that says it is simply a source of entertainment, then literally everything can be a game.
Personally, I believe as many do, and to be considered a game, you have to make actions happen. In a kinetic novel, we literally only turn pages, like in a book. Judging by your comment, I assume you do not believe a book is a game. Turning a page isn't making the characters take actions. The characters are going to take the actions that were predetermined by the writer. You are only clicking to continue the story to see what actions the writer chose for you to watch.
This, in my mind, and the mind of a lot of people, is not a game. But, by definition, that one of the many definitions of the word game, a movie can be considered a game. Just hit the play button and you're playing a game, right?

And, I did read your comment. I've read all your comments. You said this game has no consequences. You said consequences are changes in story. Those 2 statements mean there are no changes in story and no consequences, which means any choices you make in this game are pointless, because why make choices if they have no consequences and make no changes in the story? But, then you say there are different arcs and you can do different things in different orders, and make different things happen. This all sounds contradictory to me, so I am simply trying to understand what exactly you are saying.

Anyway...the reason for my original comment was to find out if this is a game I would care to play. I'm not much into linear VNs, and I just hit the ignore button on anything Kinetic, so I only wanted to know if there is more to do in this project than simply clicking to the next page, and if there are choices and actions to take, do those choices and actions even change anything in the outcome. I pretty much got my answer, so before these comments all get removed due to being off topic (they usually do, when the conversation segways a little too much lol) I'll just end it here.
Good luck to whoever enjoys this.
