Hello, dear friends! Just a quick update: I have replaced the download links for R6.9 with a fixed version. Some minor bug corrections were done, but most importantly, the save compatibility system is now fully working as intended!

Windows + LinuxMacAndroid

Please do note that to import/use your old saves, you need to follow this little guide:

1) Download the game.2) Run it once.3) Copy all your old saves and persistent data to C:/Users/YOURNAME/AppData/roaming/renpy/StarPeriphery. Overwrite, if needed. If you have trouble finding this folder, press the Windows key + R, paste %appdata%, and press Enter.4) Delete C:/Users/YOURNAME/AppData/roaming/renpy/StarPeriphery/Sync folder (if it is there).5) Copy all your old saves and persistent data to the game's folder (from where you run it); StarPeriphery-6.9/game/saves. Overwrite if needed.6) Launch the game and load your saves.

You will only need to do this procedure once; all further releases will automatically update your older saves to the current version.

There is also a readme file attached to the game with this guide.

Now back to our regular programming!

This looks like hax0rz and like, fine fair enough, the product is worth mining some bit coins on the side (kidding everyone)

VoidPilgrim

Haha, no miners there! It's just making sure the Renpy won't mess anything up with your saves and gets everything in correct order!

tanktreads

See if you add miners they're short, green, and terribly horny

VoidPilgrim

100% correct, and they are after one thing and the one thing only!

VoidPilgrim

There's a little surprise in the main menu to celebrate the occasion!

If we have saves that were created during R6.9 will they automatically carry over to the next update/going forward or will we still need to implement the steps you described/mentioned? I've started a new game anyways so I'm not too concern about importing my old (pre-R6.9 saves) saves. I'm also curious since the new link won't open for me though the previous R6.9 will.

Mr. Blastoff

I'm completely lost on how to do this

VoidPilgrim

You'll still need to do the procedure, I'm afraid! It's because of how Renpy works, no way around it. On the upside, you'll only have to do it once; all future updates will be just the good old unpack & play! Also, the link is not working for you. Does it give you any error message? It's a regular Dropbox link; there should be no problem. You can always try changing the 1 at the end to 0, like this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fndojhjjp7khfts6l345v/StarPeriphery-6.9-pc.zip?rlkey=l2ekxb4torkygccvl3wg8f9i2&st=5g6e6el0&dl=0

VoidPilgrim

What exactly is the step that is giving you trouble? Please let me know, and I can walk you through it, no problem! If you want, you can also send me a message.

Doesn't work on Mac

VoidPilgrim

Could you please give me more details? What does it do? Any error messages?

Moh Mel

"The application “StarPeriphery” can’t be opened."

I also forgot to mention that I'm doing this for a Mac

VoidPilgrim

Very much the same should apply, the only difference will be with folders. On Mac, saves are to be found in ~/Library/RenPy/Star Periphery!

Zain Aziz

I also got the message about application can't be opened

VoidPilgrim

The link I've posted earlier is not helping? Moh Mel made it run, so hopefully he drops by to explain what he did!

Zain Aziz

oh sorry didn't see the link I will check it out now

Moh Mel

Use this app for unzipping "The Unarchiver"

Arhaltisk

I haven't played since 6.6. I tried this and nothing is showing up in the saves. Is it just too old of a version?

Arhaltisk

I have followed the instructions exactly. There's no saves unfortunately. :c

VoidPilgrim

Huh, that is strange! R6.6 saves should work (tested them!), and they definitely will show in the menu! Check if your saves are not on a different page, and if you copied directly the save files + persistent data and not the entire folder there. And if that doesn't help, you can always send me a message here or on our Discord, and we'll fix it step by step!

Arhaltisk

I think I got it. Different locations for everything. Put it together. Thanks!

VoidPilgrim

Nice! Renpy can be a bit difficult with it's multiple save locations, so I'm glad you sorted it out!

Replaying this I realized I can't seem to find where the like/ heart stat is. When you do something a character enjoys they give you a little heart like, but it isn't saved on the skills menu, or the contacts. Am I missing where it would be or is it a work in progress or not really a relevant stat? :)

VoidPilgrim

There's no count anywhere, and it is very much deliberate! It's there to show you what girls like/dislike, not really to be collected/worried about. All potential favor checks will never be punitive, only deciding between kinds of content!
