The ONLY file you need from that zip is PatchSG.rpy. That's it. It's a text file. Copy it into your game folder and you're good to go. if you're uncertain, as I said, load it into a text editor, you'll see it is all text, just a script. Impossible to be infected with anything.
I agree with the sentiment (it's a false positive), but it's not true that PatchSG.rpy is the only file you need from the patch. The package now includes an RPYC file, which users should definitely use if they want to avoid rollback errors in the future (see section B).
I'm stating that .rpy file is not just a text file, but a python script that supposed to be executed when the game starts. And I suggest everyone to always check them with the antivirus you trust.
Yes a RenPy script could include malicious code, and absolutely people should virus scan them before running them. As you noted the current 'virus' detections are almost certainly false positives, related to a glitch with Windows Defender.

Strictly speaking RenPy games 'execute' the RPYC file, but that doesn't alter the substance of your point.

The RPYC file is created by the game when you first run it. It is the COMPILED version of that script (hence the "C" on the end). Run the game without the RPYC, then after it loads, quit the game and check the game folder, you will see a new RPYC file there. That's what scripting languages like RenPY/Python are all about. They allow a dev to change things in the script, save it and then the executable game will compile it at runtime. The RPYC file in that zip is simply a compiled version, you can ignore it and let your game compile it yourself. If you edit your PatchSG.rpy file, it will recompile it as a new RPYC version at runtime, incorporating your changes.

In fact, you can go into your GAME folder and delete (or move) all RPYC files out of it (providing you have their RPY files of the same name) and the game will compile all the RPY files all over again and you will see new RPYC files in the game folder. I do it all the time.

Anyhow... it's a false positive. Period. Bye!

Yes the source code is the RPY file, yes the game will build a new RPYC file from the RPY file if one isn't present. The post I linked to explains why the RPYC is important for save compatability. Your posts on the matter are misleading, which is why I clarified.

Now that the patch includes the RPYC file, people using it should also use the included RPYC file. Doing so will help mitigate the regular complaints about saves not working, at least where the patch was involved, and assuming the dev properly maintains the RPYC going forward.

And thanks for the facepalm, reactions to my informative comments are always welcome! :LOL:

The other day I downloaded the compressed version and Windows Defender blocked it for me and I downloaded it again and made Windows not block it for me but the folder where the game was in did not respond, it froze

What an eagle eye you have! It's damn funny, it looks like the bald guy punched MC so hard in the jaw that the chunk of MC's hair jumped onto his bald skull. :LUL:

So, is this game still in the process of being re-work or finished?
There are still some bits of earlier chapters that need to match the quality of the newest renders (If you make the comparison it's gonna be quite obvious that despite looking good, they're inferior to what the dev is producing now).

I know this question has probably already been answered but when is the rework gonna finish ( meaning at what new ch) because I'd like to play it completely without the story and images changing every new update, it kinda fucks up with my memory of the game.

Tecnically when the chapter 5 full, not beta, but probably one or two more details are gonna be reworked in chapters 3 and 4 before the steam release, but nothing big, some backgrounds and texts only. If you want to play the season 1 without future changes wait to the steam release, if you don't care about that when the chapter 5 change from beta to full you can play without problems.

That's good news then. The next seasons will have a redesign just like this first one and will it change continuously?
Not necessarily. He needed to do the redesign because he wanted it on Stream. If he knew in advance what he wanted, he probably would do it right the first time.

Of course if you continue a story, which you haven't laid out at the start, you will get situation that don't fit, so you need to go back to rework some story arcs.

Unfortunately if it's that last situation. It also probably means the game will never end, because dev hasn't thought about an ending yet. Which often is the most difficult part of the story. To make a good ending.

So lets enjoy, for now that it last. I hope to see more of nami and bella, I love both characters...

I like them all. They all look beautiful, cannot say that about most other games out there. I only don't understand why you cannot date the cripple one, and the others. I found the interation with the others is better if you refuse to date the cripple one (sorry after so long I forgot the names). Come on man, I want my harem!!!!!
