We finally did it
Added 2018-11-10 16:12:23 +0000 UTCHey guys,
We believe we have FINALLY squashed all the bugs regarding the tri-fecta of save scripts we have. To speak in terms that everyone understands, our save script was a junction of three different scripts, each performing a function.
Our base was the Yanfly save script that is a script highly used in the western community because it's one of the best. Then we had a script that would keep track of your stats and the route you were at the moment and a third one that would manage the screenshots so that you could see a small picture preview to where you were when you last saved.
We had many issues where the screenshot wasn't being saved, the save slot wouldn't show that there was a save there (even tho it was and you could save/load over it) among many other issues.
To combat these issues we re-wrote the screenshot script and then we created three bugs that were extremely hard to detect and only using an advanced admin console we were able to identify:
1- The screenshot script wasn't clearing the cache and was causing memory leaks.
2- In case the screenshot folder was missing, the game wouldn't automatically create one.
3- The script was creating conflicts with the script we used to take "mapshots".
Friday we extensively tested the updated save system to exhaustion and not once it created bugs. We're pretty positive this is it.
Our save system now also grabs old saves and "updates them" to be compatible with the new system so unless we change any variables or switches in the past, all saves will be transferable in the future.
We're excited to let you guys take a go at this one so we might create a hotfix patch next week.
Also, we apologize for the lack of "scenes" in 0.89 again, it was a pretty demanding patch in terms of story and mechanics. 0.90 will have a lot of goodness coming back including the Melvin route and the Adriana/Robert romance patch in the Garcias not to mention a ton of other fan favorite routes being expanded and the gym free roam scenes continued with two additional scenes.
Hospital route and the Garcias route are close to an end and we will able to deliver the endings for those two routes in the next two three patches. 1.0 is getting closer and closer!
As always, thank you so much for your undying support. We truly appreciate you guys beyond what words can express. Let's get an amazing Christmas patch out ;)
