That's nonsense. There is nothing stopping a save from working between platforms unless they are doing something exceptionally stupid. Save files for this game are just plain old zip archives with some text and binary data files inside. They would literally have to do something like checking for a special platform variable in one of those files and refusing to use the save if it doesn't match what you are running on.

Ren'Py is just a framework built on top of Pygame, which in turn is just a Python library. The platform specific stuff is all a fair distance from the save files, abstraction wise - in fact most of the game files are. I regularly port Windows releases of Ren'Py games to Linux all the time with a simple script that just grabs the proper version of Ren'Py and repopulates the lib dir with the Linux stuff the game devs deleted to save some space.

Most all of the game specific stuff is entirely platform independent. Android ports may handle some things different under the hood at a deeper level, but I highly doubt the issue they were having was due to something with the save files themselves, but rather the way the framework/engine handles them behind the scenes.

perhaps it wasnt saving problem but something big, but they named it "save problem" so that an average bob can understand that there is a problem

Pretty sure all the complaints i saw about the delay are all on account of the multiple times DC changed what he wanted to do about the update and the various times he said he was almost done on the update...i remember becuz i was still his patron by the time....first he said it would be all teachers,maybe even the coach,then,by the end of the month he decided that coach would have her own mini update later,and decided to put only 2 teacher first as the update would take too much time to be done if he tried to put all the 4 teachers at once...then by the end of the second month he decided to put them all together since he had already did most of the art regarding the teachers...however on the third month he got hit by patreon new policy just after he communicated the release of update would be soon,after that he went silent 1 week or so(while his own patreon page were under aval) and them when he returned he said most of the situation was under control since he already prepared himself for the changes and was already apllying them....and thus we reached the fourth month,when i stopped pledging for him...we're entering the fifth month and the soon from the second month still is the only word i see about it is the same soon i saw last year....so yeah...i'm pretty sure people who are complaining arent saying" I want WHEN i want",instead they are saying "i want becuz you it would already be done 2 months ago"....in my perspective i only see fails in both sides,there isnt a right side here so stop trying taking sides and return to talking about the damn game before another mod intervene and send all the discussion to hell...

What is happening?Did it get delayed or is it just coming out ''SOON''?Also i don't understand why it has to be delayed on all platforms?If one platform isn't working delay it only on that platform.

It's coming out Soonᵀᴹ so maybe in these days, but I'd give it more time so that they can find and fix whatever bugs appear in the one that's coming out.

and given the track record of earlier releases, that sure will work out well. :test: (I'm gonna work on the assumption that they employed QA before this release as well and didn't just decide to roll with it now.)

I'd agree with Pr0man. Does anyone remember 14.50 then 14.51 then 14.52? I'd like it sooner, BUT playing for hours then a new revision comes out and your saves don't work? No Thanks

How to piss off patron backers

step 1: take 4 months to update your game

step 2: give little information regarding when the release will occur (only reply with soon) for a week+ when its finally close to releasing

step 3: post memes that post fun at the people waiting

This update is by far the largest one to date and they had that bullshit with patreon to deal with and rewriting of the game so it can stay on patreon.

There is 4 teachers with full stories to do where they normally only do 1 story.

Patreon supporter are having a blast in that they have gotten over 30k for DarkCookie to stream naked. (It does not matter to me.)
