Ideal world, we never have to restart. However, this AVN isn't one I'd ever complain about restarting. The story is great and it's definitely worth re-reading. I'd be more upset if it happened to something like BaDIK because that means I'm back to taking tests, painting fences, flipping pancakes, and everything but reading a story since I would need a save with minigames on in order to keep collecting renders later.

As for right clicking to mass skip, I'm looking forward to trying it out. I can't think of anything else I need to replay at the moment but I'm sure something will come up.
Only downside of the "right-click skip" method is if you don't remember a choice, going Back takes you back to your last choice instead of just a few renders to jog your memory. :KEK:

Of course, at that point you can just skip normally to the choice you don't remember. Typically I use a mix of both skipping methods when quickly replaying a save.

It's a cool trick though. I didn't know about it.

I don't even mind starting over - well, I do mind a bit but oh well - but the worst part is starting over without the walkthrough mod. Doing a whole run all over again having to follow a pdf walkthrough is a huge pain in the ass.

Hey guys, does anyone by a chance happen to have the Ines previews from this cycle and could they share them with me please? I looked back but the images sadly do not show. Much appreciated

I installed Universal Choice Descriptor. For the "old" version of the update at least, the points you get from individual choices are shown just fine, though it doesn't appear to have a total points counter.

Wait, I just caught up with the story doing a new save but... Where is the update? I reached the end of Part 7 and it just ended? What was this update then? No new content, nothing? Wtf?

The dev post is pretty clear that this is a Ren'Py engine update in anticipation for Part 8, which will most likely require a new save using the updated engine in order to play without errors.

It's so people can have new saves ready to go the moment Part 8 drops.

It's explained several times now but it's basically a rebuild to prep for steam. It also came with an update to the Ren'py version which has the potential to throw errors in the old build.

I see. I didn't see the dev post so I thought this update was Part 8. Got all excited to play, started the new run just to be greeted with a "End" screen. :cry:

Any ETA on Part 8 release?

Nothing official, but sounds like it's getting close.

If you plan to play from beginning wait for steam edition because it will contain some "surprises" not present in this version(s).
It is not clear what those surprises are and where they will be planted inside game, so they might not require new playthrough in order to encounter them, but if they do than better to wait.

So it's best to do a new play through in anticipation for the next update?
In my opinion, yeah. Plus it's one of the best around so it's time well spent.

That's my plan as well. Sounds like maybe can hope for Steam release in February too, so not that long of a wait if so.
