I don't really understand how to skip the block put in this version
How to save in this game?
If you're not a patron then download version 0.35 and run it once. Go to registry editor by typing "regedit" into run dialog or finding it in "system tools" folder in your start menu ("windows administrative tools" folder in windows 10). While there navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and find KstGames "folder" on your left. Right click on that folder and click "export", then save that file to your desktop (name it twist or something) or somewhere where you'll be able to find it. When you're done with all that, run 0.36 and start a new game. Skip intro and when you get that "day one - after school" screen alt-tab to desktop and run the file you saved on your desktop or wherever. When prompted to overwrite, click yes. Now alt-tab back into 0.36 and click "skip day" and you will load.
Saving works the same way. Before quitting 0.36, alt-tab to desktop and run registry editor. Find KstGames "folder" on your left and export it to desktop and name it something else like "twistsave1" or something like that to distinguish your "save games". Then quit the game without saving. Next time you want to "load" you have to start a new game again and do the thing from above.

You can also turn the saving/exporting step into 1 action by creating a batch script:
ie: ExportReg.bat
Code:
REG EXPORT "HKCU\Software\KsTgames\The Twist" LastSave.reg
running the script will cause it to create a new "LastSave.reg" from said path, if it already exists it will ask for confirmation (Hit "Y" and "Enter")
or alternatively if you always want to overwrite "LastSave.reg"
Code:
REG EXPORT "HKCU\Software\KsTgames\The Twist" LastSave.reg /y

Hey, I have seen creators who doesn't even make $130, which is very low, but they are still making games. No one is blaming anybody, as TT belongs to KST & the creator can do whatever he feels like.
Haha, you misunderstood my words. I was talking about him figuratively :sneaky:

Im hoping the save thing is just for beta versions. But besides that, I've seen some comments supporting KST's decision. To be honest, those people supporting KST ain't wrong, but still its morally incorrect to force people to buy the game for basic functions of the game. Its like Clash of Clans asking you to pay in order to retain your account or else they delete it after your gaming sessions. Additionally, no one can actually play the game if there is no save file, its legit hours and hours of grinding to go through the story. Without saving its nearly impossible. It is a core function of any game to save, Free or not free. Games have to give you the option to save especially when the game's storyline is longer than the rock's junk (which is presume is massive), this way you can actually play the game like some normal virgins and btw, who would have the time to play hours and hours of "the twist" are those people like extreme virgins who don't go outta their house for nothin, just gaming and fapping all day. Even still if you can play the game that long, who would a computer of running the twist for days or months on end without shutting it down? So yea my point is, its theoretically impossible to not save the game. SO GIVE US THE DAMN SAVE OPTION BACK! GREED AIN"T DONE MUCH FOR NOBODY! IT"S NO EVEN BOUT ME NOT PAYING, ITS BOUT HOW ITS ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT SAVING!

If KST wants to add a pay wall, he should have done it in areas where it doesn't effect the core functions of the game. For example, maybe patreons would get a pre-unlocked gallery while non patreons have to play the game to unlock the gallery (Maybe).

Use cheat menu in the hallway to fix it or start 0.35 again and end the day by going to sleep. It might fill up the missing info. After that do the export again and run 0.36. I'm not sure how "autosave" in the game precisely works, so completing entire day in 0.35 would be your safest bet to have all the variables stored.

Damn man, you are hard :) so girlfriend swapping.. Swapping not means incest, right? i didnt say there has incest, i say swapping.
No, I'm not hard, I'm just accurate.

I think the problem here is that you have joined a conversation without understanding what the original topic was. I was answering a question about whether Billy and Jason swap at the beach, ie does Billy get to fuck Rachel. I said that Billy doesn't get to fuck Rachel because that would be incest and that's not allowed under patreon rules. Therefore they do not swap, and as long as Rachel and Billy are related, they won't swap.

Simple as that.

I personally do not mind the pay wall, but do not like the idea that KsT wants to get my personal information as soon as I allow to connect the game with Patreon.

Lets be clear about this, as people are writing crap and not stating the facts correctly without checking.

This is what occurs.

When you launch the new game it asks you to connect your patreon account, which opens up a browser link.
If you log in with your details, it then asks if you wish to permit KST to view your profile (or words to that effect).
If you allow, the browser states "CONNECTED". The game will not, unless you are a paying member of a Patreon. So just remember you can have a patreon account and connect it to KST, but the game will not allow you to save unless you are a paying member of KST through patreon. You can still play the game with the new content, but not save it.

Agree this is a bit of a ball ache, but lets all be clear about the issue and not write up crap to confuse things.
While what you write is undoubtedly true and accurate, it is what is referred to as "a distinction without difference". It doesn't really matter if you can play the new content without saving, because you will be forced to play the new content from each new update with each subsequent update, on a rolling basis. So you play .36 and it is good, yay. Then when .37 comes out, you will have to re-play the .36 stuff again to progress to the .37 stuff. And when .38 comes out you will have to re-play the .36 and .37 stuff to get to the new .38 stuff, and so on.

This is a boneheaded move by KsT, on par with the anti-cheats installed by WifeTrainer in the last RAGS update of that game.

No, I'm afraid it's you that is wrong. There has been NO incest in the game as the patreon rules forbid it. If I remember correctly, KST previously had to make changes to the names used in the game to make it clear that none of the characters having sex were actually related. So if Jason and Billy swapped and Billy took a turn with Rachel it would be incest and that would break the rules, therefore there is no swapping. But don't take my word for it; play the game and see for yourself.
This is one of the things that really confuses me about Patreon's rules, and the rules concerning depictions of incest in porn generally. Patreon is a US-based company, as are many of the porn studios that trade in 'stepcest' content that has proliferated in the industry in the last 5-10 years. Their concerns are therefore over enforcement of US laws regarding this type of content....... but letter-of-the-law, there are a very many jurisdictions in the US where 'stepcest' is also statutorily prohibited as if it was bloodline-incest. So it seems like it's more of an appearances policy than an actual legit legal concern.

Meh, this is really a rather unpleasant surprise. During this last year the game became quite a bit worse in many aspects anyway (performance, etc.) and it feels like the already tiny plot has become totally irrelevant by now, except maybe the occasional billy arc.

I mean, I've payed a few bucks in the past but in this state I really don't see any reason to pledge again.

Quite correct.

And just to add to the confusion, other games (like Girl Gone Bad for example) feature actual incest but manage to get away with it without patreon threatening to pull the plug.

But the Twist is one of those games that is subject to patreon scrutiny and presumably it will continue to be like that so long as KST is making money from it.

You do know he has that info already right ??
If you have pledged to people on patreon they have that info already but they still need to tell you all that anyway.

It's possible to put it back as it was on the 0.35 but it's a fucking ants' job. Obfuscator use.
There's a way to hack into him, but we might as well leave this game dead.
