Thank you so much for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying it! I have a lot of fun with these characters so it's always nice to know people are appreciating them. And no worries mentioning other projects! They're my peers, not my competitors!
Your saves should be intact as long as you overwrite the old install with the new; I admit I don't actually know how Ren'py handles save integrity. Its pretty robust though, so you should be fine; let me know if there's any issues and I'll see what I can do!
And hey, if you really need more right now, the Patreon's got an update coming... oh! Today! Just in case you're looking to get to the next day (and a bit more) a little early!
I'll for sure mention if i have any issue with saves if such problems occur, but it's nice to hear that saves overwrite themselves.
Speaking of Patreon i was considering it and honestly i think i will support this project for sure, (at least for this month that is lol cause i'll see how many expense i'll have next month). Though probably later in the day cause at the time i'm writing this it's a bit after midnight so yeah... I should get some sleep i suppose.
Anyway, have a nice day and i'll for sure follow Void Dreaming cause i'm having a blast reading the story as i mentioned earlier and i would love to see this project develop, so once again all the best, and take care you all <3.
