I'm assuming a bit here but I think what he's saying by "can't patch" is that a character whose already been deleted will obviously stay gone even if you patch the bug that deleted them, so he's offering to manually replace those characters.
a few years in developments, 12 delays down the road, last announced deadline coming right up.
I think you are still forced to do the tutorial and early story again in the final game. But what you get to port over from demo playthroughs are the characters and their names, class etc and then maybe some portion of their stats? You dont actually get to continue from the same part as you left in the demo. You will have your same MC (possibly level 3 again), same with max. And then when you get to that part the guild will have your demo made characters ready to recruit instead of having to make new ones.
I think the official version should not be able to directly read the archives of the current version.
We will never get Taimanin Yukikaze 3...
I wanted to pipe in since everyone seemed to mostly go along with your framing rather than attacking it. Those renpy projects dying that you're responding to with "but passion?" Those are the passion projects. Passion burns bright with ideas that fall apart when people with passion realize how much time, effort, and money they have to invest to transform their passion into reality. That's why you always see devs with big ideas and fancy intros that then die after three updates, if that much. They're not all scammers looking for a quick buck. They're people fueled purely on passion not realizing how exhaustable passion is.
i'm not saying those VN are not passion projects, however if you drop your game after 3 update with 1000 words each because it's too hard and you're not a millionaire yet then i guess that wasn't the same kind of passion those dude i mentionned had.
