YAGS Save File Link Confusion?

I have no idea that Renpy can be used to linking saves with another game. It's so neat. But I do have a question. So I haven't actually finished YAGS, still halfway to the end in Carlos' route, but I gave this demo a try anyway. And when I reset, just in case if I want to see the changes of the story after I finished Carlos' or anybody's route, this prompt no longer appears, although Carlos will still ask if I want to rename my previous character's name. So... How about it? Does this mean once I decide to choose to link save file it is fixed?


Developer

Once you tell Carlos you want to play ZAGS, he won't keep bugging you to finish YAGS first.

It doesn't affect anything in the game itself. Your choices in YAGS also have no impact in ZAGS (other than the naming of Carlos and Chris), so you don't have to worry.

Oh, cool. I was quite panicked back there. Although I think it would be nice if the story could go differently depending on whether Chris dating Carlos or not in YAGS...

Developer

Yeah... I considered it, but it would have made the branching in ZAGS way too complicated.

(The prologue of ZAGS is supposed to help re-orient you to what canonically happened, and show that Chris didn't date anyone, and Carlos didn't come out until the hospital, in YAGS.)

Developer

I'm going to call out that your choices in YAGS don't impact ZAGS a little more explicitly, in the final game, since this seems to be a pretty common source of confusion.

Yes. I just read your previous update news so that clears things up for me a bit, give or take.


So canonically, Chris doesn't end up with anyone?

Developer

In the first semester, no.
