Hello, it's me again and I have a problem.

Of course, I have already played all of your games, but “Our Wonderland” has problems with saving.

Let me clarify: I completed the whole game - the menu shows that I completed it completely, but when I restart, the menu shows that I did not even start the game (1 arc). And those arts that I came across throughout the game also disappeared, like the Replay.

It was constant, but it’s good that the saves in the walkthrough were not lost, and I can replay these saves (in total I have 18 save slots), but I can’t say about the art and the game menu... I was wondering if I COMPLETELY replay the game, would it be ok even if I turn the game back on?

This really bothers me, because just to look at the art that I have already seen-

Speaking of which, even the skip doesn’t work, because I went through them too, the game will tell me: “Yes, I know you have a save, but for me, you’re going through them for the first time!”

Tell me, am I not the only one who has this problem, or have other players also had similar moments?

Thanks for your reply in advance, and have a nice time!🦊✨

Oh that is really strange??? It sounds like from your description that the "persistent" file is somehow becoming lost? It's this file that keeps track of all the persistent data in the game, such as when you unlock CGs/replays, the title screen update, etc. This is especially weird if all your save files are there and intact, as it means that it's not like the whole game/saves folder is being reset you're just somehow losing only your persistent file???

The persistent file should be in your "saves" folder and look something like this (this is mine from my main game folder):

When it happens that you lose all the data do you see this file somehow disappearing? 🤔 No one has ever reported an issue like this before that I know of so I'm really at a loss as to why this could be happening. If you've played any other games made in Ren'Py have you ever noticed it happening to you before? Also what OS are you using? (unsure if for instance the Mac version of the game might do things differently or something).

(Not sure if it helps, but if you're having the problem where you can't skip because of the persistent file, you can go into the Options menu and choose "Skip Unseen Text" which will allow you to skip things even if the game doesn't think you've seen them yet! This doesn't fix the persistent file issue but it'll at least let you still be able to skip stuff quickly even with it.)

The problem is that even if everything is fine with my files, they have not disappeared, then all my work (since I completed the game), the art, and the Replay have disappeared. I'll look at the files when I'm home and ask what I downloaded - Windows. And only Windows, and about others at Renpai, there were no such problems.

I suspect that when I was walking through the game, I then found “Start Game” (all over again, from the beginning so to speak) and did this somehow affect the game and the system? At least I think so, I will try it too (oh... How long will it take...I pressed the space bar a lot to skip the dialogues I was reading... Throughout the entire game, I died once in the First Arc between the bridge and the tongue, and that’s it. I completed the game completely, oh! 👀🤣🤣🤣 It will be funny at night)

But anyway, I'm glad to hear the answer, so thank you very much! And I hope you had a good rest! (I'm on Tumblr and I know about it, hehe)

Changed: I thought about downloading it, but it’s a complete PC (I’m talking about 449MB). I just don't delete the ZIP files, and when I redownloaded, then... Nothing has changed: all progress disappears, except for my save files.

Pressing "Start Game" shouldn't reset the persistent data. It WILL change the title screen -- the title screen is set up so that it will return to the screen for whichever the last save filed you played. So if you start a new game, it will go back to the default screen, if you load a save game in arc 3 and play for a while, it will change to the arc 3 title screen, etc. However, it doesn't delete anything in the CG or replay galleries or anything, so that is what is a bit concerning.

I'm really at a loss as to what it could be... 😭 I've never had anyone report this strange error before... I can try to hunt and peck around Google to see if I can find anyone else ever having this error with Ren'Py games but I'm not sure if I'll be able to find anything 🤔

Hello, and don't worry!

I decided to download the PC (449 which), added my saves there, and played, left the game and entered and the ART SAVED ✨ (Arc CG Gallery, to be more precise.) and scenes from Replay too!

There was probably some kind of bug when I downloaded the 32-bit version and not the 64-bit version. So, everything is fine!

And the problem with “even if I read these scenes, the game thinks that this is not so” - too, everything skips!

Sorry for your inconvenience, but thanks for helping me with the problem! So, I was glad that this is something not serious, this is already good! And I hope your friend's wedding went well✨
