Adding new variables is easy thanks to default. But getting them in the right state is harder as @expandinguniversegam says. There are some guides available, but the official documentation isn’t the best. Other options are after_load, lazy initialization using hasattr or defaulting to None so a boolean (or similar) actually has three states: True, False, and None. Worst case you can just prompt the player. This is what I did when the veils setting was added to Tramp.
For classes you can add/alter/remove attributes if you need to in after_load or use lazy initialization.
What is much harder is refactoring code: removing (or renaming) an old label will kill a save that was made beyond that label and before the next one. Moving which file a label is defined in can also cause issues. Recovery is a “best-effort” and sometimes RenPy just can’t do it.
The consistent updates make having my saves wiped off the face of the earth worth it, because the game is good enough to justify playing it over again.
@debuwu Sorry to hear that you have some issues in the game.
In order to figure out what the issue is I would need to have some more information.
Could you describe why you are unable to buy chocolates?
Do you mean the fattening packages at Bonnie her shop?
Did you continue an old save or start a new one?
The home scene and dates (along with a lot of the BB stuff) is WIP the events change at stage 7 or 8 and have some more content at the diner. However largely the dates and home scenes are the same. The except is amber as the scene has a bit more as her weight goes up but it’s not much as it’s largely unfinished WIP for the BB girls.
Been playing it yesterday and I love to see every now and then a few thick background characters. Especially during the first Katrine date in this bakery or what it was. Things like this are like the cherry on top of the cake. I am excited to see how the game develops
I love making the background(and the world) feel alive and growing as well. Who knows, maybe you will see some of the background characters in another game or comic.
Oh I did ! In the Hannah Comic I saw some familiar faces rounder than usual ! I think its pretty interesting to have your comics and game be connected and people show up every now and then ! Thats a cool idea
