I see some of you still have technical questions about the new release, allow me to try and answer a few of them.
What happens to the save slots?
The bottom row will no longer be displayed, this is indeed as preparation for an official Android port. This is not a confirmation of a ch9 Android port.
(slot 13, 14, 15, and 16 to be exact)
What can I do to keep those saves?
Move them, rename them, whatever you want to call it. This can be done in at least two ways.
1. Open the game and load a save, then save it in a new slot, delete the old one. ( - slow / + allows you to read save description + view thumbnail)
2. Open the save folder with your file explorer. Saves are named X-Y-LT1.save
with X being the page number and Y being the slot number. All saves with Y numbers 13, 14, 15, and 16 need to be renamed. ( + faster / - no info about the save)
Will old saves still work?
Yes, saves from the chapter 8 release are still compatible with chapter 9. Saves from earlier releases might also still be compatible but I won't vouch for that.
Will the scene gallery be included in the ch9 alpha release?
Yes, all scenes from ch1-8 are included. I've finished work on one of the MC's CH9 scenes, I'll start work on the other MC's scenes as soon as I can. Eva is not involved in this. If I can't finish them all before alpha release, don't blame Eva.
Do I need to start over to unlock gallery scenes?
Depends. For 100% unlock without cheating? Yes.
I added 90% of the triggers for the unlocks already during chapter 8 release, so those who started new saves with the ch8 final version will have most scenes unlocked.
If you have the saves, loading an old save and playing till the end of a sexy scene should unlock them in the gallery. (Triggers are placed at the end/ before transition to next scene).
I hope these answers are clear enough. Feel free to pin this.
