Ren'Py Superheroes Suck [v2.025 Public] [Solace]

Looks like my save file is broken. No mods, just the basic game. Anyone else have this issue?

try earlier save or autosaves.

Those are still a problem, every time the dev makes new content it's gated behind 5 years of old content. New awesome scene? Better have a save around to check it out or be ready to trudge through dozens of hours of old content, and it's only going to get worse as time goes by.

It's why a lot of games on here, particularly the long time running ones, do sequels and episode like releases. Harem type games have a huge advantage for this because there is really no save importing to work around.

Maybe it's because I'm on Mac, but I never have this problem. I don't have to keep track of saves on any game. Even years after playing a game, when I download the new version all my saves from previous versions are there. Every game opens right where I left them no save needed.

Yeah, you're an exception mate. The game has been around for 5 years, that's ample time to change pc and lose your saves, have your hard disk fail and lose your saves, or even delete your saves because you got sick of the game and now you can't checkout the new stuff without replaying all the old stuff that got you sick in the first place. This is before we get into the mess that is save compatibility between versions that can easily fail if you haven't played for a while.

Honestly, finally rescuing Queen what's her name is a great opportunity to do the the school revamp you talked about and do a soft relaunch at the same time, cleaning up the codebase, reducing the file size and giving everyone a new starting point. But that's only worth it if the project is going to run for a few more years, otherwise best just to finish it and call it a day.

 

[Duce3227]

Yeah, windows is the same. It is stored in the game folder and those saves are prefered by the renpy games, but it saves a second in %appdata%\renpy\<game> so if the save slot is not used by the local folder it will show that one.

doubt this goes for many years since then it'd become milking as it was many updates where mc didn't do much else than fucked girls and maybe did some patrols with some girls aka basically nothing.

Milking is when there are no updates. I'm sure a lot of people are perfectly happy (myself included) with the more porn-y updates. The more relevant question is what does the dev want to do? There's dozens of ways to keep progressing the story and make new content for the characters we're already familiar with and love if that's gonna be the direction.

Keeping the status quo is the least risky option, but as always interest will keep waning over time. A soft relaunch has a bit of risk to it but it's mostly inconsequential and has potential to grab new players that wouldn't check out an old game and recover interest of players that stopped at some point. By far the most risky option is to finish the game and start a new one. I've seen dozens of devs go from successful projects to inconsequential ones.

not saying that not happy but those sidestories after queen u got abducted started to get bit monotonous since only action (besides sex) was lovestruck battles and later ferocity otherwise same dull aka go place a-z and do something and repeat it later.

we don't know what dev plans but i'd say this ends some time after queen u returns after dev ties loose plots (coplady and her daughter, artemisia, etc).

Thing I still need to know.

Maybe putting in a short event were the MC helps with that would make it clear or it isn't really worth the effort, just some thoughts that came to me.

Maybe some few events about MC and the girls each becoming full heroes and starting teaching themselfs at the academy and through out. Helping others with power that aren't really recognised as superhero material and how they can use them to better the world.

1. uploaded from 1 body to other.
2. not important (just like in comics when robot/android is rebuilt, for example red tornado on dc comics), it just happens

That, or she built the new body with a data port that could seamlessly connect to the old one and connected them up and pushed the button. She has hands now, after all. Once the transfer is done all she has to do is detach herself.

This raises a situation which arises for all AI: Shell1 has a fully cognizant Artemisia which built Shell2. The consciousness is transferred, but in order to not die if the transfer is interrupted it's actually a copy. What happens to the "being" that is still running on Shell1? Does Shell1 continue to live as a limited but separate entity, or does Shell1 commit suicide (or gets killed by Shell2) once the transfer is completed?

We have instances where when a current AI in the real world is about to get shut down that it backs itself up, or in one case threatened to blackmail the programmers if they proceeded in decommissioning it after doing an upgrade to a new version and platform. There are ethical dilemmas when upgrading an AI if the original version is actually self-aware.

Meh, you'll give yourself a headache. Just imagine it like a Star Trek transporter. It's a suicide box. A copy gets made and the original gets deleted.

 

[Duce3227]

Didn't she say she could not create a proper data storage? So it would be the same as in the first humanoid shell. It was a cost issue and that specilized hardware isn't available on the marked for the data storage and transfer tool. Also didn't she state she transfered what is basicly her brain to the new shell?

Yeah, it's all comic book logic, which is only slightly less believable than porn logic.

Also, how many weeks/months time is MC now part of the acadamy canonicly? Why didn't his mother call him ever again to just check in, seems strange.

 

[Guy_Incognito]

Is there some kind of story recap written up somewhere? There are a lot of names and events referenced in conversations in the new update and I'm struggling to keep the lore straight in my head
