V0.5 Coming Soon!
This release includes major structural changes and game-wide compression. We managed to shrink the game from 5 GB to 1.5 GB! All RPY and RPYC files are now compressed and no longer shipped separately. Plus tons of gameplay updates, new characters, and story content.
This should be the new game format going forward — no more structural changes planned.
What about save games from earlier versions?
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I did my best to handle compatibility issues. Here's the safest approach:
Don't rely on Ren'Py's built-in %appdata% folder. Instead, copy the contents of the /save folder from your previous version into the new version's /save folder (make sure all files are there, including the persistent file). In my testing, this works great.
If it doesn't work and you want to keep your old saves, let me know what went wrong and I'll release a bug fix.
For new players — you should have a clean, efficient, bug-free experience right out of the box. Enjoy!
