I'm on a Mac; I've always played this game via the app (it's usually just - easier on Macs in general to download that way), but this was my first time doing an update. Still: I've never had any issues with updating other games, hence me being so freakin Confused. The only thing I can think of... maybe because I didn't do the last update? (I wanted to wait for one of the main girls' content before diving back in) But - that would be stupid, if that's the reason....
I'll do some digging around tomorrow and see if I can uncover some save files or roll back the update or - SOMETHING; put my Millennial to the test. If all that fails - I mean: there's nothing I can do - I'll have to play it from the beginning. Which will really suck, but... I guess I'll just wait for you to be finished with the entire game and then do it. I couldn't bear this happening to me again. Thanks for caring, regardless - you're awesome.
Like I said I don't know about the itch app, but I might be able to help a little bit.
Renpy saves on Mac are supposed to be stored in $HOME/Library/RenPy/ and then a Yuri University folder. If the app uses the same file type, which I assume it does, at the very least I could either help you reconstruct your lost save, or even just give you a little boost to speed through the early game easier.
I won't finish making the game for at least a year, so that would be a big wait, but totally understand 😥
That was more me thinking out loud lol I'm aware you don't know the itch app.
So, I checked my files via app -- this is the basic setup:
I didn't really see anything 'save' related beyond 'save location'. If you could reconstruct my save, that would be amazing; I sent a friend request on discord. But even if I'd have to wait a year for everything to be done (and I'm mainly here for the main girls to be completed), I'd just take the loss and be patient. I checked one of my other app games and saw that those saves were lost too/the game reverted to the beginning like YU did, so I'm pretty sure this was a 'itch app update' issue -- nothing else makes sense. Gonna contact them and see what's up there. Thanks again for all your help!
Okay, okay, okay
(FIRST) - Thank you, again, for going Above and Beyond to help me recover/play my saves with this latest update. I was bereft and you - -Saved me from the pits of despair.
B: Oh my Good Golly Gee - Hannah's last scene was Phenom -- Exactly what I expected from the awesomely(naughty) open bae she is. I've always loved how Han rides the line of: ridic Cute, yet Sexy at the same time, and it Really was on display here. Also, just - adore making my babes' fantasies come true. 🙂↕️💯 I played through alll the options(duh), and they were All yum/equally hot. And I continue to love the consent + Communication during these scenes ('What would you like?' 'Would you like me to call you something?', remembering safe words, etc.) I also feel like your animations got smoother? They were looking Great in these scenes!!
But not gonna lie: My heart just aboot MELTED at the end when she got quiet with that '....come here.', and - taking off MC's glasses to *see* her (I wear glasses - so this hit esp Hard). And that: 'I love you.' ACK *clutches pearls* I swoon, with Hannah being such a LOUD(FUN) character, yet her love confession was so quiet and still. So much was in her eyes in that moment and I - not only felt like I Accomplished something Great, but also appreciated the ish out of it. Utter Gorgeousness, chekkin. 10/10
Looking forward to checking out librarian scenes next, but - REALLY looking forward to Ashley's last scene. It feels fitting she's the last of the girls to get there; I actually really like that she's not into traditional labels/romance. (and while I'd love to be - - Anything with her, really - and earn that 'I love you', I'd be happy with whatever she's comfortable in giving. <3)
You're very welcome! I'm glad we were able to get your saves working again 😊
Thank you so much for the lovely words, they made me a little teary with happiness 🥲 I really wanted that moment with Hannah to feel special, tender and vulnerable, so I'm really glad that came across.
I'm making Ashley's scene right now! We'll get to know her a little deeper...
Hope you enjoy the librarian scenes, and the scenes from the previous update of you haven't found them yet!
Thank you again ❤️
