Question about the mission "Slavemasters of RAANA", which involves enslaving Aria Bianchi.


I'm here to ask about this mission, which should have no bugs, but I am truly facing an issue that seems impossible to overcome. This might be due to the long history of my save file, which I’ve been playing for years. Perhaps something went wrong... My save file was created from version 0.5.6 or earlier, and over time, it has developed some bugs. However, I have fixed them using a save editor or simply waited for the creators to solve them.


Now, I’ve finally returned to the main storyline, and I find that I am still unable to buy Aria in the market, despite having enough money and waiting the required amount of time. I tried to locate old save files, but they are too old to find on my disk (very sad :( ). I also attempted to use a save editor to change the time and Aria's status, but none of these solutions have worked.


Sadly, none of them worked.


So, I’m reaching out to you, the respected creators of Master of RAANA (GrimDark), to ask if there is anything that might solve this issue.
Sincerely, thank you for your time and consideration.

If you could send me your save, preferably on Discord, I'll take a look and fix whatever bug you might be facing. It would also be interesting to dissect such an old save and see how well it has fared these past years.

Glad to hear from you guys so soon!

Sadly, due to the laws in my homeland (which features a national flag with red and five yellow stars — its name might cause some issues here), I can't connect to Discord without violating these laws. This prevents me from both supporting your great work financially and keeping up with your game. As a result, I also can't share my save file with you for the same reason. It's really disappointing that I can't even use tools like a VPN to access Discord because of certain restrictions that I can't discuss for fear of being detained — a risk greater than the public's use of VPNs.

Getting back to the topic, there is a kind of "Ship of Theseus" dilemma at play here... I first played your game before I had a programmer's mindset. In the early days, whenever I encountered an old save file that wouldn’t work, I’d start a new one and try to recreate it to resemble my previous save. Then, I would copy and paste the necessary lines into the old file until it worked in the new version. I also periodically deleted the file for sold-out slaves (the game didn’t seem to automatically do this in earlier versions, or I had to deal with enormous save files) and reset the date and ages of both MCs and NPCs (I wanted them to stay young forever for some reason...) .

So, I’m not sure if my save file is worth analyzing at this point. But I truly appreciate you taking the time to reply to me — a player who hasn't been able to support your amazing work financially yet.

Thank you once again for all the effort you put into this project!

PS:

I can only send files via email (hope this works this time)... I tried using my Mega account but still cannot log in due to network issues. Is there another way to send my file, or perhaps even buy you a coffee if you guys still have the energy to continue working on this?


-----Edit-----

It's so strange that I also found Michelle had disappeared from my household in some versions before... I hadn't noticed it until today's check. She is still in the file, but I can't find her in the NPC menu.

Also, the slaves I haven't bought in the Kymanto Hall are unpurchaseable for unknown reasons...
