Looks like a permissions issue? The file says no valid save locations, so I would start with googling that?

r3.6 - What and When?
I realize I forgot to do a "What and When" post about the plans for r3.6 as I normally do a few days after release. I did the whole big post about slicing, and in my brain, it thought those were equivalent. So... Better late than never? Actually, as I have extra info, I guess late is better in this case (also, not sure if any of this is helpful for anyone... but I like doing them, so...)

As always, the "When" first. For the last couple of updates we've fallen into a three month schedule, and I'm guessing it will be similar here. As much as I'd love an update at the end of May (holy shit it's almost May), my guess is most likely the end of June or... mid to late July... Again, that's mostly on Ferdafs, so we just have to wait and see.

Next onto the what, because it's sort of a big "what". I've already talked about slicing a lot (and you can see more of it here if you aren't sick of it (I know I am)), but while there is a lot of work there, it's not exactly exciting news. Slow progress and even with two months, I'm not sure I'll finish it all before the next update. The main goal is to hit the biggest scenes, and that may be good enough for the time being.

If I do manage to finish enough of it, the current plan is to release an optional uncompressed image pack for those who want it. No idea on the size yet, but the main download will still be compressed (and hopefully smaller).

Onto the more interesting stuff! Well, actually the more frustrating part first.

ALL old saves will be delete with the next update.

Yes... I know... I'm sorry... It may not seem like it, but I really don't want to keep having save issues. I am really hoping this is the last time I fuck with your saves at this scale.

The slicing process is pretty much going to ruin all old saves (since files are being moved and renamed, almost no save is safe (the few I have gotten to work were janky and problematic)). So, possibly to much ire, I have rolled the save state folder forward to clear all old saves (so you won't manually have to delete them). Yes, that means once again, you'll have to start a fresh game.

I'm really, really, hoping this is the last time I have to do this (I can't see any more big changes with this sort of impact in the future, no more image reworks, or text overhauls, or shit like that). So, again, sorry in advance. I know it sucks. It always frustrates me when devs wipe out my saves (a lot of the time seemingly for no reason) and force me to restart (in those cases I usually open up the renpy code and just console command my way to scenes). So once more, I do apologize for this major inconvenience.

Hopefully I have included enough tools (like Day Selector and Do Over) to help you quickly get back into the action. Or to get to any day you want to make new saves on.

Which brings us into new features:

First up, a fairly minor quality of life change:
View attachment 1770836
Day Selector will now be available right from the main menu! No more need to start a new game or load up a save, the button is there from the start, and you will be able to click on the newest day (or wherever you want to go).

And speaking of tampering with saves:
View attachment 1770837
I have substantially increased the number of save slots per page from 6 to 25. Thumbnails are a bit smaller, but still easily identifiable (at least I think so), and save date and name text have been moved inside the thumbnail to match the astatic of the rest of the game.

(Fun quick aside, I had a huge amount of trouble getting the green boxes to resize correctly. After many wasted hours, I finally realized it was the default green background that was the issue. It had a built in transparent area for the text at the bottom, so when I changed its display size in renpy, it kept shrinking smaller than I expected but still being larger than the actually button! Damn you default assets!)

Lastly, as part of the major systems overhaul, I give you the first look at Do Over 2.0 (just called Do Over in game):
View attachment 1770835 View attachment 1770834 View attachment 1770876
As with everything, this is still a work in progress. I'm not completely happy with text position, size, functionality, and some layout aspects, but this is the basic concept up and running. I'm also uncertain about the bio blurb. It's a good space filler, but also feels unnecessary. I might make it more story focused and based on the day you are in instead (That's a fuck lot of text to write, so maybe not), I'm not sure yet. Feedback would be great though!

In addition to pages for each character (not all, the game has 55 character models, not counting variants (like other Mortys), and only 22 (mostly fuckable or main) are included here), you will also be able to set and toggle several tracker stats that weren't accessible before. Additionally, you'll also be able to edit age for any of these characters (some ages appear in game if you have ages toggled on, and some (mostly side characters) are just flavor text on this page). You can now also independently set relationship (family wording) values for the variant Beth(s) and Summer(s) (also settable via normal gameplay when you first encounter those characters).

Character specific scenes (really only Wild Summer at the moment) will now go under their variant, and will include a text blurb (still work in progress) to help remind you what the toggle options are for.

Again, I'd love to hear some feedback about this page (and any other changes) and know what you all think.

I do have a few minor scenes already underway (one at the end of day 37 expanding on the previous scene and (at least for the moment) containing a possible major story choice (which will be added to the Do Over page if I keep it)), and some additional requested dialog at the end of "Not the Bees". Mostly though, scenes are going to be scant from me this time again as I power through the slicing work.

Thanks for reading! Thanks for playing! Stay awesome!

super excited for this !

hi gays im new to the game can someone upload the full walkthrough please

 

[cold_arctus]

hi gays im new to the game can someone upload the full walkthrough please

You don't need one.

 

[Night Mirror]

hi gays im new to the game can someone upload the full walkthrough please

Yes, click, then click, then click, then click again... Or, hold down control and just skip through it all...

The game is very linear, with no bad endings or locked off scenes behind points. Choices that pop up are just how you want to experience that content. Want to cum inside? Okay, slightly different visual ending to the scene. Want Summer to be on birth control? Okay, she has slightly different dialog going forward when the topic comes up.

In short, pick the things you want to see, you can't really "miss" any scenes.

i'm not sure whether this will be interesting to anyone else, but i always found it a bit weird that nancy wasn't a virgin in-game (even though most of the other girls are, and nancy does have quite an innocent personality in the show), but i just realized the reason why. edgar has a full bottle of blood (which is revealed to be from her hymen breaking), meaning she probably lost her virginity to him.

(or ... y'know, there's a different girl named nancy and im reading waaaay too much into this)

You sound like a "true" Rick and Morty fan. The Reddit Rick and Morty sub would love (or hate) you.

The TV show has a lot of depth to it, and fans love analysing it and looking for hidden meaning, story links, etc, and although I love this game/VN I don't think the creators think that deeply about it.

As for Nancy, she may be naive, but she seems like a dirty little madam who is willing to try almost anything, so yea, she probably has given it up already.

i hate to admit it but i'm a fraud. i haven't rewatched in a looooong whilee i forget details all the time. but yeah, i definitely vibe with ur interpretation of nancy that being said, we do know that she's never given a blowjob (from when tricia teaches her), but we also know she was very excited to show her boobs on camera and to have sex with evil!morty during that one plotline.

she likes to play with herself. it maybe as simple as she just got a little to in to it one time and broke it.

fair enough. i mean, that would still make her a virgin technically (as even non-sexual things can break a hymen, like certain sports or horse riding, and some women are born without them).

genericbutcoolname and wibbled

While I have put a lot of thought into adapting this game (and it's stories), my attention to detail isn't even for every character. The more I enjoy a character, the more time I tend add onto them from the original.

Nancy is a character that has limited dialog alteration from the unity game. At least one person has previously asked why I decided not to make her a virgin (actually, I think the question was why I changed her from being a virgin, but after re-re-reviewing the dialog from the Unity game, she never mentions that she's never had sex, just that she isn't good at blowjobs). And the short answer is, it just never occurred to me to make her a virgin while I was working on her scenes.

In the Unity game only Tricia and Morticia ever talk about not having had sex before (it is implied, but not stated that Summer has most likely had sex before, but I made her a virgin in this game).

So... long rambly answer later, sure! No reason she couldn't have fallen pray to Edgard.

Edit:
Ah, here was the previous post asking about Nancy

its always the quiet one who are the biggest degenerates

 

[wibbled]

I'll be honest that I didn't really give Nancy much thought

That's the trouble with girls like Nancy ... nobody gives them much thought.

I had a couple of nerdy gfs. Both of them were kind of naive in the bedroom, but willing to try almost anything, and neither were virgins. So Nancy, as she is, rings true to me.

 

[Night Mirror]

...So Nancy, as she is, rings true to me.

Agreed, I think Nancy works just fine. Really her only alterations here was a minor tweaking of her dialog to reflect the order of events (that she had already sucked your dick, vs Unity where she says she isn't good a BJs). To be clear, I'm not planning to make her a virgin at this point (or alter any of her existing dialog, unless I'm fixing typos).

that does make sense actually. she is a 50 shades of gray (or, y'know, 69 shades) fan, and ana was a virgin (or at least naive about sex? idk i never watched the movie?) who was surprisingly kinky. i guess i never thought abt it that way, but im kinda like nancy myself as im a virgin who (as evidenced by the fact that i love another way home) is surprisingly freaky

This sounds awesome! but I have a question. I didnt help to notice there are options for pregnancy in the showcase pictures of the new Do Over thing. Is it just there as a placeholder for future or will we be able to finally impregnate some characters in the nearest version?

 

[F93Jarry]

It crashes after pressing the menu.
New game, etc on Android version.
Or did it crash due to my Android version? Which is 11.

 

[genericbutcoolname]

i will never not find this exchange hilarious. are you sure you're straight tricia ? are you absolutely sure.

tricia: literally admits to being attracted to women
also tricia: haha what no im straight super straight i only like men (now please go down on me summer)
