I was able to use my 0.2.3 saves in the 0.3 version. I just copied my save files over and picked up playing from my last save at that wizard Oswin. I didn't encounter any bugs but that isn't to say there aren't any.
where do you find the save files? I dident see any :(

What are the "2" new H-scenes in this version? Does the massage at the first camp count as an "H-scene"? Seemed pretty tame. The second one I think I got at the very end prior to the bridge.

Help! Where I am supposed to go after the Owin's tower?
I've just loaded my 2.3 save on the 3.0 game. The West path leads to the tower and there isn't anthing else to do.
The North path leads back to the cave, the south west entrance says that there's too many orcs and cannot go there. The east path would lead to waterfall dead end.
The East path leads to a city being guarded/blocked until the incursion is over.

I've also loaded a save before entering Owin's tower, to see if there was any dialogue lead, after the conversation I did receive a message that it's the end of all content for this version...

So, does the 3.0 actually bring new content, or did my 2.3 save screwed the game?

Yes., your save screwed the game. You should find one massage at the camq site and the other one in the tent in the very end near the bridge.

Thanks for the feedback. Guess I'm gonna wait the game advance more, since saves aren't very compatible between new versions.
Shame, this game is really fun.
Yeah and then you must beat fire faggot, was a pain in the ass for a player with high temper like me. Now i know how to beat that motherfucker.

i actually can't wait to check this out. i used to follow the other one with this concept, Totally Immersed, until the dev of that game abandoned it for some other thing i wasn't interested in. will drop some thoughts after i run through it

The 0.3 content is found through the guarded gate to the east of Oswin's tower.

As for save compatibility I got my 0.2.3 saves to work without a hitch. I keep different versions of the game in separate folders so i simply went to the 0.2.3 version of the game and opened the "www" folder which had a folder called "save". It had all my saves from that version and I copied that entire folder into the same position in the 0.3 version. I had not played 0.3 nor made any saves in that version so there was no folder called "save" in the 0.3 at the time of copying but I imagine there would be one if you had made a 0.3 save. In that case you might have to overwrite.

Damn - I only kept 0.2.4 folder with saves...and they aren't compatible. Usually the latest would be, rather than older ones...

I generally want to avoid engaging with this community, as participating might be considered an implicit endorsement of the piracy it's built around, but I've seen a few questions come up repeatedly that I could pretty simply address.

To Hoboy: assuming you're the fellow I interacted with over at Fenoxo's place - I changed the way saves work on macOS. After getting several complaints from patrons that they couldn't get the save functionality to work, I did a silent update to the Mac version of 0.2.4 that switched saves to local app data. The game now looks for them in: ~/Library/Application Support/KADOKAWA . Keep in mind that's your user Library, not the global one. Frankly, I think this is a better solution anyway, since you can just fire up the new version of the game whenever you get it, and you never even have to think about the saves.

I have not tried to move saves there, but I don't see any reason why they shouldn't work. Note that the files there seem to follow a different naming convention (e.g. RPGMVfile1.rpgsave), so you may need to change names if doing so. I can confirm that macOS 0.2.4 saves (at least of the locally saved variety) are 100% compatible with 0.3, since that's what I tested the game on.

To other folks: one of the bugs in the game is that I forgot to remove the "That's all the content!" message at the end of 0.2.4. Thus, if you're playing through for the first time (or from an earlier save) you'll get a message in Oswin's tower incorrectly telling you that you've reached the end of content. The actual end of content for 0.3 will be near a washed-out bridge.

I am having issues finding the Black Straw anyone know?

Edit: NVM I found it and will just say that it is hidden in the last place anyone would think about going to without a single hint to go there oO. I say that as not many would think to go in a building to get it

That is strange if 0.2.3 saves are compatible and 0.2.4 saves are not.
Well, my 2.3 save and doesn't work at all.
Tried copy pasting the save folder, but the guards keep saying that I need to await the incursion to be over.
Removed the folder, started a new game made a save to generate a save folder, then copied and pasted one of the saves. It isn't recognized by the system, it just show a empty slot where it's supposed to be a save in the game's loading screen. I tried to save on the same slot to see if generated a duplicate name or a different name, it simply overwritten without asking, it also changes the amount of kbytes on the save file.

I don't know why Alfar's save are working, because mine can't work at all.

My wild guess is, I think the "config.rpgsave" and "global.rpgsave" are tied with the game's version it was originated saved, thus cannot be recognized on newer changed version and if copied and pasted from the older folder (so it can be recognized) as I did, it will load the old version where the guards does not allow me to pass.

Edit: Maybe I had to sleep and then talk to Owin again? Dunno restarted and got past of that area anyways.



Save 1 is from the beginning of chapter 3 and save 2 is for the very ending of chapter 3.
The second scene on the campfire wans't been triggered in save 2.

Does anyone know if the interaction with Ana, at the campfire when you investigate her/it's/his penis will determine your dick size in renders, later on in the game?

well that's an awfully sad way to look at things. you do know a large amount of people find games on here then go patreon the ones that they like right? the catch here you don't get our patreon money unless we actually like your stuff. but once we do... well gloves are off then. doesn't mean you endorse those of us that are completely total leeching freeloaders. xD

go take a look at the Love and Submission thread and tell me if dev engagement is hurting or harming his game.
