bad example, GH is linear and you don't have access to previous scenes, Tinkerer would have to port at least 50% of part 1's code and it would be a short term solution. A new story with a new MC in the same universe wold be a better idea
Probably not at all. The quests and story could follow on from the previous ones. It could be referring to the previous storyline, but that's about it.
It's probably the clearest example of splitting the game. But I agree that it is not the most ideal. The biggest flaw is still that you can't watch older scenes in the gallery.
Only problem there is the fact MC's story may not be able to be finished in a way that is satisfying to the players if Tinkerer did that. Its definetly not gonna be an easy situation when it comes down to the end. Theres only 4 slots for LIs (that's not changing) & at least 5 girls Tinkerer wanted/wants to add (that's not including Qetesh who would make it 6 girls...)
Not necessarily.
Would be nice if the map at least has the LIs still around? Like the player can decide which LIs they perused, either by exporting a save (like Dragon Age: Orgins, 2 & Inquistion) or just choosing their choices in a questionnaire at the start (some chosen may lock off some questions or unlock them depending on the quest chain?
If this is possible that would be awsome. The steps in the space get shelved (I'm not good with tech so I'm gonna use dumbed down jargon lol) & the sex scenes remain as options. Sex scenes, existing kids, perks & QoL unlocks would all remain for the player to utilise without the coding baggage.
So there must be some condition about fully complete game. But still there are LI wich are not to taste everyone. For someone Magda, for another maybe goblins. So I understand this is not best solution.
Maybe you are right. But if Think change this quests and made from one bigger, it should lead to some bugs, probably to fresh start of game and this is crazy idea in this point of game. Maybe somewhere 3 years ago.
Ok the first one I know you're taking the piss.
This is where Tinkerer's comment a while back about how "[he] should have used flags/switches instead of Common Events for some things" comes in. IIRC MV has like 5k each of flags and switches to the standard 1k CEs he mentioned in his last sneak peek post. Some of the blacksmith+dog steps could be flags rather than CEs, cutting back on how many CEs he has to add through the workaround. Disclaimer: I have no idea if he actually used CEs for all those steps, just continuing with your example.
I don't think the previous chapters would affect subsequent chapters in any way, I wasn't suggesting porting over the code/flags/CE'sThis is where Tinkerer's comment a while back about how "[he] should have used flags/switches instead of Common Events for some things" comes in.

A rebuild that uses what he's learned would, I think, be a lot more stable and probably support more content on top of what's already there. But like I've said it would be a very large project to do, even if he stays with MV (MZ apparently has some significant differences that would need to be learned).
. Each chapter would essentially be a standalone game that has "custom starts" based on a transition save (after all everyone has to complete the same journey more or less to complete each chapter)
I would keep the current game as "Chapter One" based around the rising power/feud between the Temple & Tower, & othe powers in the region.I don't think the previous chapters would affect subsequent chapters in any way, I wasn't suggesting porting over the code/flags/CE's
The transition save would essentially be brief note of the variables that are coming over, Names and stats mostly. along with the status of any optional quests Tinkerer wants to bridge the chapters (or he could simply have any incomplete quests auto fail)
Only some repeatable scenes of the existing characters (if they appear in part 2) need to remain, or could be reworked as point of refference for the story.
Are you sure you put the fix in the correct place. It's in www/data overwrite the existing file.
Indeed, I had not put it in the right place. Sorry to have disturbed you...
