That's going to be quite a grindfest to get back to the latest version.
does anyone know when the new verison comes ?
This was on the previous page. We're just talking about it now and @Faerin is canvassing everyone's opinion. From the latest poll and from most of the comments here, it's likely it'll be late this month/early next month.Release date V0.83

Hey guys,
Sorry to bother you again, but I really need your input on this one:
Redoing Veronica took a lot more time than I expected, but I think it's a major improvement. Now the question is, should I do the other girls as well?
If I do, I won't be able to make the release on the 19th and I know how much you appreciate my (normal) 2-weekly update schedule.
I could also just leave them as they are and let you experience Veronica's changes, so you guys can let me know if you think it's worth changing the other girls.
But this will mean the savegames will probably be incompatible between the next few updates and will probably be a bit more work in the long run.
I know I won't be able to please everyone, but I promise that either way, we'll get to the new content soon and I think it will be worth the wait, as I have some great storylines planned (and one last surprise character introduction)!
So, what would you prefer?
A: Release on the 19th, it's been too long, I don't care about some bugs and outdated dialogs, I just want to get to the new storylines as soon as possible.
B: Release late October/early November and get a completely stable and updated version, so you can focus completey on content updates after that.
Thanks for your input!
A: Hurry up already! 3%
B: Take your time. 82%
C: Either is fine. 16%

We'll not know for sure until the poll ends tomorrow then I'm sure @Faerin will update us with an estimated release dateThis was on the previous page.

Well he is probably going to lose Patreonage if he waits too long to give an update.Your reasoning is not wrong but, precisely because of the compatibility of saves, I believe it would be better to wait.
If, once released the new update as it is now, the votes went to make changes to the other characters, everyone should start all over again not only for this update, but also for the next one.
Moreover, Faerin is the only one who has always released not one, but two updates every month.
I think that, for once, waiting a little longer is not the end of the world.
Oh, and regarding those who don't follow the game's development, well, frankly, it's their business...
Except he's clearly communicated that this is what he's going to do, and got buyin from the patrons. So probably not going to lose a lot of patrons.Well he is probably going to lose Patreonage if he waits too long to give an update.
It's already been over a month since the last one.
This is why I say if he has one that is release ready to go, to release that and then inform them it will take another month or two to do the complete upgrade which will break saves but give you a much better game experience.
If it wasn't for the long delay between the last update I would say fine make everyone wait.
But I'm looking out for his revenue stream here as I myself am more than happy to wait.
Making your paying customers wait two months for an update and laying the "Oh by the way your old saves won't work so you have to start over" on them is a good way to lose all your monetary support.
Also mentioned that by releasing this early it actually means more work for @Faerin down the line because he had to push a release out. It just sounds like a catch 22 where you're going to have to face a delay at some point. But hey it's really down to the patrons isn't it?Except he's clearly communicated that this is what he's going to do, and got buyin from the patrons. So probably not going to lose a lot of patrons.
When in recent history has a dev clearly communicating something ever stopped someone for complaining about not getting a release for two months that they paid for?Except he's clearly communicated that this is what he's going to do, and got buyin from the patrons.

May I avert your attention to Dual Family? The last update was on the 30th of March and the dev wrote not too long ago that the next update will be at the end of january 2019, so yeah ... talk about a long way x'DMaking your paying customers wait two months for an update and laying the "Oh by the way your old saves won't work so you have to start over" on them is a good way to lose all your monetary support.
Good point.May I avert your attention to Dual Family? The last update was on the 30th of March and the dev wrote not too long ago that the next update will be at the end of january 2019, so yeah ... talk about a long way x'D
Plus @Faerin always delivered good and on time content, so I'm sure his patrons would be ok with cutting him some slack
In his defence:When in recent history has a dev clearly communicating something ever stopped someone for complaining about not getting a release for two months that they paid for?
Yes everyone here will be fine with it...
I agree with everything you say Thermophob, I support Faerin on Patreon and I for one am willing to wait as are 83% of the patrons going by the latest poll figures, it seems that as is normal, the people who moan most about not getting regular updates get it for free and don't support the dev's.In his defence:
- He did warn everyone about hiatus. So if somebody did pay for Sepember... well they knew there won't be update. As far as we know, there might be, or might not be an update in October, but let's wait, since there is 18 more days...
- This is pirate site. Most of guys here are not patrons...
- Patereon is not site where somebody is purchasing game. It's site about patronage, different concept than trade.
If you have to start over, I would just wait for the update then, and just enjoy what you can for now. Worry about learning the other stuff for now. Less than a week to go if the timing stays true.With this game I missed the last fake email and I guess something with Ashley and I'm on day 65 or there abouts. Can I still catchup or am I up shit's creek and being a idiot still trying? In other words can I still finish or I gotta do over?
