VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Best Days of Our Lives [v0.5] [UndergroundStudio]

Estrada777,
Any problems related with save slots ?? Even after deleting save files, game still reload. (Not only this port)

On my ports it saves in two locations, the data folder of the game as well as the "external" Renpy_Saves folder. Are you deleting from both?

Oh. I didn't know that there is a second folder. Thanks for reply.
Where is that second folder located ???

I use two locations because in my mind it serves two purposes.

1. On android the saves that live in the default game folder get backed up by automatic google processes. That way if your phone fails (as they do) you should be able to pull your saves back down by just installing the game again.
2. If they are in an EXTERNAL folder (i.e. Renpy_Saves) then you can uninstall the game, to save space or whatever, and then when there's an update and you install it again, your saves are still there.

But they are just memory eating things for me. I usually copies save folder before uninstall.

I picked this option because that's how _I_ want it for games that I play.

Where is that back second folder located ??? Need to delete it. One folder enough for me

Renpy_Saves is the only one you can touch. The original one is part of the game and it goes away when you uninstall the game. I also believe it will re-create the Renpy_Saves directory every time you use the game, if you don't like it then you have to use somebody else's port. The size of all of the saves for a single game is about as much as a single image that you snap with your phone, it isn't a lot.

Yeah yeah. I realised it. I downloaded darkassassin Port of this game instead of yours. Ofcourse, his port have backup folder too. But it is not untouchable. I know backup folder correct name & its path. So possible to delete it. Sorry for disturbing....

It isn't terribly complicated, 2 save locations:

1. Default (this is the "privileged" location that every app on you phone uses to store stuff), my games will look like this:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.estrada777.nameofthegame

2. External (exactly what your full path will be depends on your android build, but it will be something like):
/storage/emulated/0/RenPy_Saves/com.estrada777.nameofthegame

First one i know. Same as normal ports. No problem for me. No complaints

But can't find that second one.

 

[UncleFredo]

lewd content for only Vanessa and Sophia has been developed so far. we can see Nina and Rebecca naked tho (photos or at the lake).

You can keep adding points with every girl, but only Vanessa and Sophia have "content" right now.

Thanks to both of you!
Saving me from what would prove to be an unsatisfying additional play through.

I feel like if you want to keep talking we should move it to a conversation or you should come join my discord. We're junking up this thread.

 

[erkper]

Yeah, Sophia was kinda "meh" to me, and I actively despise Vanessa, so I will probably play through eventually just to see if I have the option to totally leave Vanessa hanging. (Literally would be best.)

Good

this is the most like... wholesome and pure game game i've found on here lmao

you even avoid tropes like the jock guy being a jerk. everyone just gets along and has fun and stuff. weirdly refreshing.

 

[Yuri L]

When I first pitched the idea to Jachu (the artist and creator of Underground Studio), we both agreed that that this will be a very long-running project.

With that in mind, I made a roadmap for a game that takes its time to get into the game's core story, while constantly setting up (deliberately hidden) hints for it in the earlier updates.

The reason why it feels like there is not a coherent story is because the "story" hasn't officially started.

Thanks for your lengthy explanation! As you mentioned it will be a "very long-running project" I was wondering how long it would be?

Exactly. I already play a tons of other VNs that try make tons of deeper plots and subplots with dark cornes and so on. And play TBDOL is kind a breath of calm in all of this VNs. Of course more story and character development will be needed and will happen eventualy, but i expect the game mantain this spirit of grounded and lightheart slice-of-life where we follow normal people just living their lives.

This entire game is "blah". There is nothing about this story that stands out as all that interesting.
