I changed renpy versions so I am unsure if you can just update it. Then again Im not great at the technical stuff so I'm not sure
Thanks for getting back to me. I tried a few things including a fresh install and than coping over my saves, but with no luck. :-(
So, I've done a fresh install and will start over, (was going to try the "skip" function, but it's greyed out and does not respond) Just a suggestion/thought, something I've noticed other authors will offer is a Chapter or Day selection option in the main menu, to save the users from having to start over or go through the skip process should update or other problems occur that would require starting from the beginning.
PS. Great story and man that Doberman is an awesome character. Reminds me of a roommate (with benefits) I once had. :-)
