Another lesson in why developers should never take technical direction from non-technical users. Operating systems have standard per-user locations for application data for good reasons, and "so reinstalling the app doesn't trash the user's preferences / data" is one of them.
And this is why the developer did it he asked the people that are funding the game where they would prefer the saves you know the people that matter because without them you wouldn't be complaining about where the saves go because it wouldn't exist.

bru ..... another useless answer, congratulaiton, you won the title above all the others
I refer you to the answer given above but also in addition to that this developer has had two other successful games which both use the same method of saving. So he's not going to alter it now because someone who plays the game for nothing throws his toys out of the pram because the saves aren't stored where some self entitled idiot wants them.


Anyway to let the dev know that this update was garbage? What was there worth playing?
Wow well thanks for your garbage input. Simply don't play it then. Or demand a refund from F95. I honestly think Faerin will be tossing and turning in bed all night because you thought the update was garbage and wondering how he will ever make it up to you. NOT!!

I've had same issue since release and every time an update came out I continued to do the same thing deleting and having to start over honest mistake when game saves are directed to your game folder for anyone who needs saves from the previous update not this one, this is an Extras vesion of the game a 100% complete save of the previous version. Start the new update with new quest ready to go.

Calling the update garbage is harsh.

But agree, it was poor quality, haistly and swiftly made.

The very first scene on massage bed was just poorly represented, extremely low quality.

But for the rest the story is developing and the maid uniform scene was nice.

I hope the dev is not trapped in this 1 month delivery objective that push him to haistly complete the release pushing the quality down.

Sure, don't be a cheap-as scrub and subscribe to their Patreon. That way you can voice your discontent with the content of the latest release.

Otherwise, don't bother, because then you're just bitching about your FREE GAME CONTENT on a pirate site and we really don't care.

For me, the choice and control over the order that I do things is at the very top of my list, right there with the quality of the content. I don't need control over the outcome, or multiple endings, though that's always welcome, but if its just next>next>next with zero ability to steer which thing comes next, I honestly lose interest unless its absolutely fantastic, but even then I like it a lot less than if I can pick which section I do next. Its the same in porn games as it is in mainstream, regular video games in that way for me.
Curious. Maybe that's from the difference between youtube or a book then. For me it's just how well it's written.

I'm stuck at Victoria next boxing lesson.
That seems to be due to doing her boxing lessons on Mon or Wed. If you load before that, and try again, it should be fine, just don't do it on those days. If not, you can wait for next month when the fix will be added.
The problem is that her follow up event overlaps with taking Maddie to work, so you miss it and get broken.

All other girls content done, but Annabelle at 81% with 45/47 stats,
what I'm doing wrong there? - replayed it after previous update and
bugfix somehow moved content past one of art classes, dead end. :unsure:

I have the same problem. Do you maybe have a save before the boxing lesson? Or someone else maybe. It even can be save from before the update

That's no excuse.

It's a pretty decent explanation to the question and thanks so much for cutting this one part out of the whole contex.

I'm a gamer not a programmer. From my many years of experience with games from this site I can safely say that if the engine is Ren'Py then it will store saves in your "hidden by default" AppData folder, almost always.
If it's not, then you'll have to check how a particular Dev setup the particular engine to store saves.

The good thing about Ren'Py's automatic hidden saves is you can delete games and still have your saves stored, the bad thing comes when you have to locate them for some reason.. Personally I had to spend a lot of time learning how to unhide AppData on my OS when getting a new PC, also when that came with a new OS ;)

IMO the more automated stuff becomes, the more lazy we get and that leads to all sorts of trouble.

This game does not use AppData saves and I find it a good thing!
It makes it possible for You to back-up your saves and store them on a location of Your choosing, even a portable drive like a stickdrive, so you can transfer the saves easy on another computer, or even share them if you so wish.

The RPG Maker games I've played uses the same system for saves storage, so I can safely say than in most cases if it's RPG Maker you'd have to manually transfer your saves and not delete a game version after you've played it.. not without backing up your saves first.

Save files uses very little space compared to a whole game, so for those who delete games to make room for new ones, this would be a good solution if they want to keep playing new versions later on.

This a Unity engine game however and the Dev chose the saves model most RPG Maker games has, for exactly the reasons described above.. or so I strongly suspect.

In conclusion: I once heard this quote from a guy working with IT: "Real Men never take backups, but we often cry!" :p
