Patch for game help
I'm trying to fix typos in dialogue in a game, but I realize that if I recompile what I have and push it, the players will have to play from a whole new file and their saves will be totally wiped. Is there someway for me to patch the game and have players not start from scratch?

Re: Patch for game help
Fix typos in dialogue shouldn't affect or wipe the save files. If you're worried, you can just patch only "scripts.rpc" or just the archived file (*.rpa) if you archived the game.

There's also renpy's update feature.
You will require a web server of some sort for this though.
