Is there a route-a-route walktrough or something like that? I planned do make solo routes and was wondering if theres content for only one chick route. Just like DmD, in the D route theres unique features.

There are a lot of variations if you are seeing one girl or many (or even just being nice to them as opposed to ignoring them) and it does affect the dialog and options with said girls to some degree even if they don't know about one another (and a whole lot if they do find out).
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
WTHI has the most variation in this way I know of and I've played a lot of these types of games. Including DMD which is awesome too imho.

I can say that generally you will miss less or even no intimate/major scenes while pursuing more/all girls up to this point (although you will have to be a good liar and a cheat to not get caught), although we are entering the phase where that may not maintain. IE so far choosing to go out or sleep with girl A, won't inhibit you from seeing the next scene with girl B because you were "busy", unless you mess up and get caught in a lie and they both leave you heartbroken and possibly emasculated. This is usually apparent when it happens. :p In other words so far none of the scenes happen simultaneously, if you miss a potential scene it's because you didn't have enough lust/relationship points (which the game tells you), you were cheating and got caught so they broke up with you (then their scenes change or doesn't occur), or you were simply not going after a girl at all based on your choices so it skips the date/opportunities with them that are not part of something else in the overall plot.

That make sense? You could also open up the .rpy files for the episodes in the game folder and look for the "if" command statements that there are hundreds/thousands of that make the game dynamic and hopefully very replayable.

In Episode 8 right now and damn is Natasha a terrible person. Is it possible to screw with Natasha without actually screwing her? Or do I have to fail on purpose when going to the basement and end it there?

Do I have to download the entire game again or is there a patch?

Cheeky has talked about possiby doing patches along with full versions since the game is getting on in size. We need to discuss the possibility with our code wizard Phalzyr first (hes been a bit busy with some important RL stuff atm) and maybe Cheeky will do a paetron poll after if its viable for us. In the mean time gotta do as NotThea says, and don't forget to copy over your save games folder before deleting. :)

You don't need to copy the saves folder over if you are on Windows; the saves are copied to appdata by default for Renpy games. Load the new game and your saves will usually be there, even if you deleted the old folder. :)

I noticed some games do save to adppdata and others don't for Renpy on my Win 7 (I know it's time to upgrade, I just loath 10 so badly). So backing up saves has become habit for me. :)

Ive upgraded more than one Windows PC from Windows 10 to Windows 7-8. I've never looked back either.

Next PC will likely be solely Ubuntu (or one of it's many flavors, likely Xubuntu).

This may be dependant upon the system and where you install them. I'm using 8.1, and I install everything on a secondary drive. All the saves get written to the install folder (game\saves), not the appdata path.

(edit: I did find a persistent file for Acting Lessons in my appdata path, though)

Win10, works exactly as described there. So I would say most of the times no need to worry about saves of Renpy based games - although always check the appdata before deleting stuff.

Funny thing though, if game was renamed during production, appdata renpy backup will sometimes show the old name. Other times it just random number folder.

You wouldn't believe the mess in that folder after I tried so many games and neglected cleaning the leftovers :rolleyes::ROFLMAO:

Odd. I'm running 8.1 with a similar setup (installed to an external HD) and all of my RenPy saves are under appdata.

My mod version EP15-1.1 (Gallery + Walkthrough + Start At Any Episode) (For FULL not BETA)
Ty for this but will the incest patch that is compatible with episode 13 work with this mod?

What's the problem with downloading new updates?

I download the new file - check it works and my saves have carried over - then delete the old version. Nice and tidy, and get my space back.
;)

Ya, I agree backing up = good idea
Win 7 = Very good idea :)
