VN Ren'Py Completed Returning to Mia [v1.2.0] [Inceton]

[FookU2]

Not sure, it sounds like this problem here. There is a fix in that post.

I've not even started it yet, going to replay the first one anyway, since it's been so long, and waiting on the mod update as well.

I'm playing Ep10. That post was for Ep08. It says to make a directory in Story folder Ep08, and put the file in that.
I don't have a folder for Ep08, as I am playing Ep10. I am not screwing with it and breaking the game.
Maybe the devs will fix the bug and put out a bug fix for it.
I'm gonna download the compressed version, too, and see if it works, or if it is also bugged. Never know.

 

[milaKonnichiwa]

That song was specifically made for this game, me thinks, because it's baked into the intro/main menu video.
It's in 00110100_01100010.rpa > images > anim > 5 > intro_loop.webm

damn... it's good song.

Hmm used unren4all to latest compressed Returning.to.Mia.2.v1.1-pc-compressed. in folder bg\Story there is 10_2477.jpg but in bg\Blink only 10_2446_full and _half ,next 10_2584 , maybe copy 10_2477 from Story to Blink and reame to _full and _half , hope this help a bit

 

[Belnick]

it is but name was changed to rtm due steam.

so the working saves from 1-9, dev just wanted to break the saves in the last episode on purpose?

 

[master861]

I told the Dev about this. It only happened to me when you go to Sabbatian's bar and when walking with Mia by the beach. The first song that plays in the game (not the menu) doesn't have that problem. I don't know if there are more songs that play later on because I stopped playing.



Probably the same model was used with minor differences. I haven't seen her in-game so, don't know.

eh i dont thing ther look like siblings ther is not the same model used if you look at this img's.

the eyes the same maybe yes

 

[dudeipoop]

Thought the same, then played her route. My opinion of her changed entirely after that. You should try her route too.

maybe ill give it a go, but i didnt enjoy this game much, don't wanna play again, not enough emma

No, lol, this has been called Returning to Mia 2 since it came out, 5 years ago...welcome to the game?

Saves work fine, just copy them over.., it's because save directories got changed, nothing more, if you are a legit Steam user it does automatically..................so no it doesn't break saves, unless you used a mod, then use a savefixer...

Oh, I just seen the blink part and thought yoy were talking about 8. As someone else said, might be a missing image thing.

 

[Sancho1969]

Does this fix the bug I came here to show? I can't continue to story. Can't get passed the scene with Emma, shortly after Vivian finds Mia & MC in the yard. I searche dand didn't find anything explaining it in the thread...so...

Returning to Mia
Tue Oct 31 23:31:28 2023

This is the main image that is borking (disregard the mod UI, it's not included in the fix noted below):

It's a dev coding error as Emma does not have any blinking images for this "beach" scene in Ep10.
The fubar is in the line: scene e10_2477 at blink
I've sorted it for you as a patch.
Simply drop the attached content inside the VN's "/game" folder.

This is a temporary fix (it's simply the static image with no blink animation), I'll sort it in the pending mod update.

More Emma mean more trouble as we see it on the first game.
If I think this without Mia, I can understand you but I am somewhat invested in Mia from the first game and with the happy ending she got and even if the chances are slim, leaving an open door for another game or at least a few DLC, I really liked the game. I think this game has genuinely good story and it was top notch at the last chapter. It changed my opinions on Vivian and Sadie, I even can relate to Vivian. So I did enjoyed the game and I can say money well spent.

 

[Nurben]

My game bugs and doesnt let me continue in the cruise with isla and sadie anyone knows how to resolve it?

i wish there was more story with the creep, and the story with grace didnt make sense in end, sort of blue balled with grace whole time

 

[Bombmaster]

Mia got her happy ending let dogs lay.

That particular image blink code was resolved by the dev in Ep10Fix... you must have the first Ep10 installed.

Ep10Fix makes it a static image with no blink. I'm looking at the code now, it has been commented out and not by me:

    # $ current_scene_name = "e8i3827"
    scene e8i3827# at blink

I believe you misunderstand the story. It was a story about the MC growing up. We saw whether or not MC grew up and side girls like Cindy, Isla, Grace, Giselle was only there for check it. Grace was represent incest taboo relationship, Isla was another man's wife and another taboo, Giselle was his therapist and professional taboo, Cindy was around his age, everything was okay to have a relationship and she was cheating taboo. Every single girl was represent something for MC. What was the first sin of MC, he was in relationship with his mom who was incest, another man's wife, have medical condition and that costed us Mia in the first game. In this game story checks every mistake you had done, one by one. First checks it with Cindy, was it the cheating MC drawn to cheating. If MC goes there, it is game over for him we learn he did not outgrown his past mistakes. If he rejects Cindy, next target was Grace. We are checking was it incest that drawn MC in, if you refuse. Next checkpoint was Isla another man's wife, a taboo of conquering someone else's wife. It was so important, there is a choice between Mia and her in the game. Then lastly, Giselle ethical taboo. Giselle was ethically bound to not have a relationship with, like as the medical condition of MC's mom. Giselle story escalates too quickly just like his relationship with his mom because of her medical condition. We checked was MC drawn in because what he did was ethical taboo. Then mom shows up at the end, we ask did MC do all of it because who Laura was because we stripped Laura from everything incest with Grace, cheating with Cindy, conquering with Isla, ethical taboo with Giselle. Only thing to check was it Laura all along. There was a reason, she came to MC so strong in that stall. It was his final test. At this point, if he manages to refuse her. That means he repented the sin he committed in the first game. I believe it was fairly obvious with MC's Grace dream when he ask were you testing me, Grace replied no you were testing yourself.
After MC defeated every demon he had, what he left was pure love which was pointed out over and over again. That is the point we are asking, is MC gonna move on or stay? Both option was represents love and nothing else. If he chose to move on story takes us to new place, MC and Sadie buy a new house also Mia was moving on with someone new. If he chose to stay, he can be with Mia only and only for his love. If he was with her because she was his sister, he could have gone for his mom or Grace; if he was with her because she was someone else's gf, he could have gone for his mom or Isla; if he was with her because it was wrong, he could have gone for his mom or Giselle; if he was with her because she was beautiful, he could have gone for his mom or Cindy but he did not, he chose Mia because who she was, only for their love. Going back to their old home, represents they stayed the same but outgrown their demons together.
So any side girl ending could be bad ending because any of them would mean MC succumbed to his old sin. If they ever add endings with side girls, you should expect a sad ending. In either, Sadie&Mia , epilogues everyone have happy endings because they repented. It even shows how Vivian became decent human being, Giselle found right path etc. If MC goes for anyone else we probably will see that they lost the bar, Vivian and Grace split up, Isla and Cindy spiraled out of grief, Giselle probably dead or divorced or lost her license, mom lost her path or stuck in unhappy marriage etc. I also liked reunion ending, even if MC succumbed to his old sin it shows he still will have a chance to repent. He is only incorrigible if he did not change at all and goes for everyone. Then he is destined to be left alone.

I feel like I tried to explain a poem in a literature class

 

[Logan Septim]

Simple fix for anyone wanting the old save location. Just copy this file into the "/game" folder

 

[cxx]

The lastest one

compressed, linux, windows, mac, android, uncompressed?

Why do Emma and Mia look like the same person? Seriously, they actually do look like siblings

well partially due heave make up, mia has more melon head and emma has more apple head.

I've not even started it yet, going to replay the first one anyway, since it's been so long, and waiting on the mod update as well.

well mod getting rdy will take a while and sancho might become bald before that.

so the working saves from 1-9, dev just wanted to break the saves in the last episode on purpose?

saves aren't broken you just need to copy saves from \appdata\roaming\renpy\swm2*** to \renpy\rtm*** and you get your saves back. also if you saved before boat scene then you are fine.

ngl i dont read into stories that much idrc like that but fair enough
