I spent about 20 minutes playing this game. I think the saving is not working? When I click Save, and then click a slot, it just says "no saved games" and the game does not save. Am I missing something or is this an error?

[arj0n]

Saving works fine for me...

[Shadow1000]

Hmm...this should be simple! I click Save. There are four slots. I click one...and then what.? Am I missing a step?

I think this is the first puzzle.

I think this is the first puzzle.

It is indeed that simple.
Click Sauver, click a slot, done (no saved-confirmation is shown and you're back in the game)
No clue why this goes wrong.
After you've saved the gae, is there a savefile created in the save folder?

Folder:
C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Wendy Whedon - les Rejets de la Nature\agssave.xxx
(where xxx is the clicked/selected save slot)

Holy Cow! I opened that folder and there are 123 saved games over the past year and a half alone! Time to clean up a bit.

There is an agssave.999 but I think that one is created by the system or something and isn't a real save? Is that correct?

Yep, it piles up quickly in that folder when you leave it for so long

Correct, that one is always created once you start an AGS game.

So, seems you've got yourself a strange situation there, not being able to save. No clue what is going wrong here...

Sorry Shadow1000, I don't know either why this doesn't work

Hey Marion

So if you can confirm that the save isn't right (I don't know if it's any different in the French version; I assume that the scripting is the same and the text is just loaded dynamically) then I think I'll hold off playing until this is resolved. The game looks like fun but I'm willing to wait!

The problem is that Marion just stated that she also has no idea why the saving only in your case isn't working as expected.
So for now there is no way to fix this issue.

One last thing you can do is checking if it is reproducible from within a clean situation.
That means having no agssave.999 file, and therefor no savegame folder at all.

Could you try the following:

• Remove/delete the folder Wendy Whedon - les Rejets de la Nature in C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\
• Start the game and once you're at the train perron and you've been given control over the player character (first situation in the game), don't do anything (e.g. walking) but immediately try to save the game.
• Next, check if the save file agssave.xxx (where xxx is the saveslot you've chosen, between 001 and 004)) has been created in C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Wendy Whedon - les Rejets de la Nature\

Hey arj0n

Thanks for the advice. I deleted the folder and restarted and saved immediately. The folder came back but only a .999 file.

How odd. Thanx for trying out.
I can only suggest you posting this issue in the >Beginners' Technical Questions board<.
Maybe the tech guys over there might have an idea what's going (wr)on(g) here...

[Marion]

Ok, I have looked more deeply and I found the problem. It's a conflict with the English translation.
I fix that and I upload the new version quickly

[Marion]

Here it is ! The fixed version ! Enjoy ♥

Awesome!

[Shadow1000]

Great news! Downloading now!

[Marion]

Let me know if everythink is ok now Thank you, I hope you will enjoy Wendy's adventures ! ♥

[Shadow1000]

I am sure I will enjoy this episode. I really liked the first one. I noticed that the animation is a bit different in the sense that the character moves in a "frame by frame" basis rather than in smooth animation. It's an interesting effect.

I will start playing again once I finish all the MAGS entries from the October contest

[Marion]

Thank you very much ♥
I made this one as a Visual Novel
