  • Main Story Special 1: Selecting a sponsor, finalizing the Despina Crew selection, introduction to the crew.

How can I start the scene of introduction to the crew in 0.6.8?
Yeah, same here, except for 0.6.9. Loaded my old save but still see no way to progress. If I go to the Despina I just see the four names to choose from, and none of them are available...

Played the update R6.8. Very good as always. (y)(y)
Thank you very much for your in-depth overview!

when are we gonna get this on action
Tessa (and Markala, the most anticipated threesome) will be coming in R8!

God did her P got even bigger or was it always this big?
There were plenty changes to Tessa's old model (what was posted above), but no change whatsoever in the cock department. Tess was always big lady!

I remember the game's file size being 5 gig or am i mixing it up with another game ? I saw "game reworked" but how much of content was reworked or how much content is missing compared to before v6.5 ?
No missing content (on the contrary), I've just did some elementary compression and file cleanup!

got the same thing
As kindly mentioned above by PBS666 it is probably one of these two. Another Mac user mentioned earlier that he had to unpack the game with "The Unarchiver" which made it run.

Make sure to follow the guide attached to the game when porting old saves. Copying it here for posterity, since the leak did not mention it:

Make sure to follow the guide attached to the game when porting old saves. Copying it here for posterity, since the leak did not mention it:
1) Download the game.
2) Run it once.
3) Copy all your old saves and persistent data to C:/Users/YOURNAME/AppData/roaming/renpy/StarPeriphery. Overwrite, if needed. If you have trouble finding this folder, press the Windows key + R, paste %appdata%, and press Enter.
3) Delete C:/Users/YOURNAME/AppData/roaming/renpy/StarPeriphery/Sync folder (if it is there).
4) Copy all your old saves and persistent data to the game's folder (from where you run it); StarPeriphery-6.9/game/saves. Overwrite if needed.
5) Launch the game and load your saves.

You will only need to do this procedure once; all further releases will simply update your older saves to the current version.
Yeah, I did this, and did see a text saying "Your saves are now converted to version 7" or something. But I still can't see any new content.

I don't know what was uploaded here, but the actual R6.9 has the selection scenes not unlocking fixed for a few weeks (as shown by people above who are talking about it). Make sure you've completed all Day 3s first. If you are loading a save from a point when you are already done with all Day 3s and introduction to the crew is still not triggering, then I'm afraid that won't work, since that is just how renpy operates. The potential solution is to use/load an earlier save (before you finished Day 3s), or start a new game to unlock the specific content you want to see (Gallery, Codex, etc., unlocks carry through playthroughs)!

If you were caught in the last update's saves mess (for which I again deeply apologize, but there was no other way to deal with previous faulty systems), and want to be 100% certain that your saves are future-proof and compatible, either use older saves (R6.8), or make a clean install (removing the old game folder + your appdata saves/persistent), then follow the guide above.

Alternatively, I will be releasing a full save later today/tomorrow, so I could probably make an extra save for you that's just before the introduction to the crew triggers!

Finally, if you don't want to mess with any of this, you can generally just fly through the game pretty fast by checking "skip unseen text" in the options and then holding Tab (it basically jumps between decisions).

Thanks for the complete answer! I'll put it aside for tonight then and see in the coming days what I want to do.

It seems like it always has been, even Markala said that Tessa's size is no worse than hers, and that says a lot... Besides, it all depends on the angle, Amira's size has also increased significantly in the recent update, but Void explained that it's a question of angle and a specific render. Moreover, they are updated and growing in quality, maybe that's why it seems that way...

This is a common issue with Mac's I believe this is because of the different handling of permissions in windows/unix/unix-like systems.

Instead of using unarchiver or something the user can just modify the permissions on mac and it should run.
  1. Open a terminal at the location with StarPeriphery.app
  2. Run the following command chmod a+x StarPeriphery.app/Contents/MacOS/StarPeriphery
  3. Done. Game should launch now when double clicking on the app file.

Indeed, as I explained in detail in my post here https://f95zone.to/threads/star-periphery-v0-6-9-voidpilgrim.142747/post-18056012
Mind you, when the Ren'Py SDK generates a Mac build those permissions are OK. It's when that build is repackaged on Windows that they get fucked up.

But by far the most recurring problem is the quarantine that's imposed by MacOS these days on about everything that's not from the app store.
