At last, it's time for the After Story update. This is the final planned content update for Sable's Grimoire, and it sets the scene for Sable's Grimoire 2.
After Story can be accessed from the main menu. It doesn't require you to have finished the game first. However, it does warn you about spoilers and the like when you click on the After Story button, just in case you haven't already finished all of the routes you plan to play.
Aside from the After Story content, this update also includes the following changes:
- added logo for Sable's Grimoire 2 (shown in the After Story prompt)
- game engine updated to Renpy 7.5.3
- smoother font rendering for bold, italic, and bold italic fonts
- fix for credits page link
- better keyboard/controller navigation on some screens
The demo has been updated too with the same changes, where applicable.
Steam-specific updates:
- the game is now in separate depots for Mac, Windows 32 bit, Windows 64 bit, Linux 32 bit, and Linux 64 bit. This shaves around 100-130MB off the install size.
- implemented cloud saves
Quick note on consoles:
- After Story update and Eris's route update are both being released simultaneously
- Switch and Xbox update should be out today, if they aren't already
- No ETA on the update coming to Playstation. It's in review, but it was hard to get Sable's Grimoire through review the first time around, and Playstation have only gotten more strict since then
If you're unable to start the game after updating, please verify the local files.
You can do this by right clicking on the game in your Steam library and selecting Properties.
Then go to the Local Files tab and click on Verify Integrity Of Game Files.
If you have any problems with Cloud Saves, you can find local backups of the saves on your PC in the following places:
Windows: %APPDATA%/RenPy/SablesGrimoire-1507418173/
MacOS: ~/Library/RenPy/SablesGrimoire-1507418173/
Linux: ~/.renpy/SablesGrimoire-1507418173/
You can copy these files, then right click on the game in your Steam library and go to Manage -> Browse Local Files
Then go into game/saves, and paste the files you want to restore.
If you encounter any other problems, please report them on this thread.
You can also switch to the oldstable beta for the time being, but please note that saves from the new build won't work on the oldstable build.
