Amomynous Games,
if there is often trouble with savegames, better create another black_screen at the end of each update with "Save Now!" hint or something like that, so players don't have to repeat/skip from the last black_screen one with the clock info.
These black_screens with only narrator speaker seem to load fine so far while the rest of the savegames usually get sadly ruined.

What I learned after v016 released was that Renpy wants A LOT of labels so it can find a place to rollback to. Prior to v020, I would go for long, long stretches of dialog without any additional labels (sometimes hundreds of lines), so it's trying to find a label to go to but it's too far back in the stack resulting in an error that breaks the saves. This is why those "black_screen" narration ones work because those are typically only two or three lines away from the most recent label.

In v020, I have added a shit load of labels all of the place during the scenes, which is what I'm hoping fixes this bug once and for all going forward. I wasn't able to go back and modify v016 or previous because that would have almost certainly broken every save ever created.

I know it's frustrating, and I do feel like shit dev for putting so many people through this issue, but it is a WIP, and I'm still learning as I go. One of these days, this entire build will be 100% clean from start to finish, and I am constantly working toward that.

Renpy is such a brilliant engine, but sadly often fails if it comes to this shitty rollback code. Way too sensitive to changes in scripts.
As long as you don't have to restart from the beginning all the time, it's no big deal to skip-repeat the last scene or two.

And from what I've seen (and I've looked), there is no clear documentation advising to do it this way. I found out by talking to a bunch of other devs and finally found one who pointed out this approach.

There will come a time (likely the Steam release) where I'll need to go back through the entire build and add all these labels back to the beginning, and I'm not sure what's going to happen to saves at that point. I guess we'll all find out together.

Again, apologies to anyone that has no clean saves and having to restart from the beginning. It's shitty, I get it.

Not sure if this helps, but I've recently seen such nifty label code at the end of a script in another game:
Code:
    label end_of_update25:
    if not renpy.has_label("update_26"):
        call thank_you_for_playing from _call_thank_you_for_playing_4
    if renpy.has_label("update_26"):
        jump update_26
    else:
        jump the_end
This has the advantage that you don't have to change the last script anymore, so it will automatically continue with the new update.

This does look handy. Thanks, I may add this to the end of v021.

Will MC ever say "I love you" to Jenny??? Their get-togethers are soooo sterile..... They are clearly (if your are on Jennys Path) in a relationship.....let them live like they have a real one please..... I m missing some real love vibes between them. Let MC stay with Jenny...as an option..... Why has MC to leave her appartment, when they clearly see eachother next morning??? I know...its nitpicking...but...jeez....this bothers me. :LOL: Anyway.....i love this Game. It kinda calms me down.....don t know why...! :LOL:

The big problem with Renpy is sometimes any little thing can break saves. The big no no is adding new variables, but that's more well known.

As Act 3 gets underway, the choices will begin and the committments and "I love you"'s will happen as we move toward the conclusions of the game. Act 3 is the final part, so it's all coming.

I'm gonna point this out for the sake of my own sanity, cops in the US do not just show up and arrest people based on a dude saying he was assaulted. They don't escort the "victim" to the arrest and unless being caught in the act they would ask for the accused to come for questioning. The sheer fact she starts cuffing him with out stating the crime or having probable cause and while trespassing w/o a warrant is well outside the power of a street cop and ffs they would never do it alone. The ease of which that department, especially in California, would be sued into the ground would make your head spin. Jonas would have his game funded within the year.

This game is not a harem but it seems like it is possible to stay in several routes, I just hope that we can only choose the girl he will end up with at the end of the game because if it were now I would have to make a save for each girl I have and there would be a lot and that would be kind of boring and mainly laborious. (how interesting laborious in English is laborious if you asked me what this word would be in Portuguese I would say it is something related to laboratory kkkk)
