I keep forgetting there's an update to Khemia. But also I don't want to have to read the entire script up to the new content again... I wish saves persisted between updates so I can just start where I left off after they add new content. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Man, reading an early access VN sounds like agony to me - not because I disagree with the concept but rather due to my tendency to devour stories in the shortest time I can. Having to wait on the story piecemeal would suck.
Any idea why they require a new game with each update? Are they making technical changes that make the old saves incompatible or export game in a way that makes it act as a different title? If I recall correctly, Ren'Py keeps saves in proper system location rather than the game folder so they should be still there.
I couldn't say. Other VNs on renpy have updated just fine. Witb Khemia, I have had to uninstall the old version and then install the new one because updating the package fails.
It might just be the Android version and it works fine on PC.
Ahh, gotcha. I thought it's the usual process of replacing the files and I defaulted to thinking about PC. If it's reinstalling then yeah, makes sense.
