MBML (Chapter 2 - Episode 3) - Changelog and Release Schedule (Patreon)

Hey, everyone!

Fair warning upfront:

This episode is a short one.

Shorter than usual, even by our already-shrunk definition of "short." I broke down why in the last status report, but the tradeoff is that Episode 4 is absolutely stacked because of it. Don't sleep on Episode 3, though. Small doesn't mean gentle. 😅

This one hits close to home. I'd bet good money a few of you are going to feel something you weren't ready for. That, and more.

New: Save Sync

Upload Sync (Save screen): sends your saves to the Ren'Py Sync server and gives you a short Sync ID.

Download Sync (Load screen): enter that ID on another device to pull your saves across. Works between PC and mobile. A Sync ID expires after one hour.

New: Export & Import Saves (Experimental | Android Only)

Export Saves (Save screen): backs up all your saves and gallery progress into a single ZIP file. Save it anywhere you like: your phone, Google Drive, and so on.

Import Saves (Load screen): restores saves from an exported ZIP, a ZIP of your PC saves folder, or a single .save file. Imported saves replace any saves in the same slots.

Tip: Before uninstalling, copy the saves folder from Android/data/com.niichan.mbml/files/ using whatever method works for you. Zip it, then use Import Saves in the new version. You can also import individual saves if you prefer it that way.

Fixes:

The Rollback Side option is back on Android.

Fixed a bug on PC where clicking on the left side of the screen rolled the game back.

Improved the Android downloader's download reliability. Downloads should no longer randomly fail at 0% or partway through.

Downloads now pick up where they left off if they fail, or if you close the app partway through, so you don't have to start over.
