Folks,
I've been getting this question a lot, so rather than write a load of different individual responses, I just thought I'd post it.
The question is: How many chapters / episodes are there in Season 1.
The answer is:
There are 6 chapters in Season 1. This includes the upgraded version of the first 10 episodes of the original game, plus a lot of extended scenes and brand new scenes. Overall, it has twice the content (Script / options / dialog) compared to the original 10 episodes and more than 3x times the artwork. So please don't assume 6 chapters = only 6 episodes of the original. This is not the case.
I went with chapters versus episodes to distinguish between the re-do (chapters) and the original (episodes) and I tried to keep the new chapters tied into bundles that cover whole days (or in some cases 2 or 3 whole days) whereas the original episodes were a bit messier with (sometimes) a single day being spread across more than one episode.
And if you do buy on steam, I cannot stress strongly enough how important reviews are, so please leave a review. I only have one review at the moment, and it's lonely.

Okay but that still doesn't answer my question. When I finish the new 10 episode rework how do I transfer my save to go into the old ep 1-24 file that we have on here.

Never mind I'll just burn that bridge when I get to it.

Mate it two separate games, the old ones isn't related to the new one. Why would the save from the new one works on the old one.

its it the stored in Properties on the drive you installed it on. you can even add mods to the games on steam as for saves try to copy them to the save file on the drive you saved. to know where to look on steam look up how to copy saves or go to properties of your installed game and you should understand. I used this to install mods to steam games and even walk throughs it should work in both directions but i have not tried saves

Yup this is what I figured but what I was hoping was that these new chapters would be put into the same file like how Desert Stalker is doing it where they're just completely overwriting the earlier chapters but it's still the same DL.

Got it on steam this morning. I'll play for a bit and leave a review.

Zetan already said that Desert Stalker Steam version will be reworked on a newer version of Renpy so every progress that you have so far on the old version will have to be replay when the Steam version release because newer Renpy save don't work on old version.

I doubt the save games are compatible, but... luckily... this game has a very good alternative. You just use the Start Any Episode feature, start at episode 11, and specify the few major choices that you made in episodes 1-10 (aka Chapters 1-6 of Season 1 on Steam), then play through the rest of the game.
