Go to BB threads and we will tell you why.Big Brother game is similar to this one & was a lot popular. unfortunately it is abandoned now. I wonder why......
I would just wait since it will be less than 1 month for the next up date and we will not know if they do until it comes out.Will old saves be compatible with the new release? Should I wait or play now?
NO. They won't. Don't expect it before Jenny's update: they won't be because Aunt Diane's and Jenny's quests need to be re-encoded.I would just wait since it will be less than 1 month for the next up date and we will not know if they do until it comes out.
If the re-encoding is being done for Roxxy's update (as they previously stated), there is no reason that saves from 0.16 to 0.17 shouldn't work.NO. They won't. Don't expect it before Jenny's update: they won't be because Aunt Diane's and Jenny's quests need to be re-encoded.
Hookers and blowSo it seems like its going to be around 3 months for this update, I hope its worth it. Its strange how he seems to be making less progress then he used to even though hes making more then double. Its used to be monthly updates almost on the dot with lots of content. Now its 3 months for around 7 scenes? I mean even that last update was super lackluster for how long it took. Its whatever though, i'm a pirate, my opinion doesn't really matter.
So, tell me, why saves from 0.15 to 0.16 didn't work?If the re-encoding is being done for Roxxy's update (as they previously stated), there is no reason that saves from 0.16 to 0.17 shouldn't work.
I think it's just a matter of information/timing. DC said for quite a while that Roxxy's update would be the first one compatible and thus 0.16 saves would be usable in 0.17. So I guess back then he planned to recode their stories without actually changing them (as they did with Eric's story, etc.) but now he seems to have changed his mind and wants to include the recode in the respective update. So in the end he decided to save some time for the recode at the expense of ~6 months more without save game compatibilty.Dude, I just told you what DC told: old saves won't work because of the old code. They need to re-encode everything.
I think he told it before the Patreon affair and the whole rescheduling of the game's roadmap.I think it's just a matter of information/timing. DC said for quite a while that Roxxy's update would be the first one compatible and thus 0.16 saves would be usable in 0.17.
As far as I'm aware he actually said it until he was sure that he would continue working on Jenny and Diane (which was when he polled about who will get 0.17/0.18 in early may).I think he told it before the Patreon affair and the whole rescheduling of the game's roadmap.
The point is that Aunt Diane's and Jenny's stories (old code parts) desperately need to be re-encoded because they are conflicting with Mom/Debbie's (new code part). So, they need to re-encode these parts.
Jenny and Diane are the last remnants of old code before DC got a new coder that organized differently. The new assets assigned to this are a bit different and before the Patreon thing, they wanted to put a bit more oomph to Diane along with expand Jenny just a tad. For Diane it was to give her a happier ending (which ends in pregnancy) while Jenny had you expand on her business aspects of the webcam a bit more.As far as I'm aware he actually said it until he was sure that he would continue working on Jenny and Diane (which was when he polled about who will get 0.17/0.18 in early may).
Yes, they need to be recoded but I'm pretty sure until may his plan was to recode both of them in the background without adding to their story as they did with for example Eric/Mrs. Johnson/June (dogeek streamed some of that back then). I mean it's not like they have to have an update to rework the code, it's just more convenient I'd guess.
Well, I think that was actually the plan until may. Back when patreon announced their changes DC didn't want to work on their stories and thus decided to do the recode in the background.So both parts of the old code do need something, it's just that they weren't redoing it without something beneficiary to the MC either.
The whole point of hiring Dogeek was to rework the code for the entire game. Were you thinking that that they were change the code only for the Roxxy update?So, tell me, why saves from 0.15 to 0.16 didn't work?
The problem are the old-coded parts of the game. Roxxy's update is all brand new.
Dude, I just told you what DC told: old saves won't work because of the old code. They need to re-encode everything.
As far as I can remember, last time DC talked/wrote about the "old saves issue" made it clear: don't expect anything before Jenny's update (0.18).The whole point of hiring Dogeek was to rework the code for the entire game. Were you thinking that that they were change the code only for the Roxxy update?
My understanding was that by rebuilding the code from scratch they could plan variables in advance so that the game didn't break when they did re-works of story lines. That have have changed in the last couple months (haven't been able to listen to the streams), but when they did the Jenny rework (in a couple updates versus 5+) shouldn't affect the save game issue if the code is built right.
