Episodes poll: download all episodes at once, or download it individually?
🕑 Added 2021-09-20 03:55:14 +0000 UTCThis game is planned to be released in an episodic manner and will grow over time. But how should I manage this expansion?
- Launch all episodes as a single game: you download the whole game in every update and resume it from where you stopped. The next episode only unlocks if you clear the current one. As it happens with Summertime Saga and other Ren'py games, your saved games may break if I need to change something drastic in the code (what happens quite frequently). So I will need to find ways to remedy this situation as the game grows.
- Launch every episode as a new, different game: This may remove the save compatibility problem as I don't need to worry about the code architecture. I will need to build a password system as a way to preserve the player choices between games. I will also need to find a solution for new players to start from any downloaded episode without forcing them to play the previous ones to fill the narrative gaps.
