I tried to make the game backward compatible with older save but with the huge overhaul of core gameplay mechanic, there're bound to be something that I might miss. If you're having issue, to make sure that your older save work, save your game when you're at a location (i.e. you're at downtown, living room etc.) then load the save on the latest version of the game. Try to avoid loading save file that's in the middle of an event or activates (i.e. influence level event, buying UP, work out etc.). I tried to make it so that it should work but you never know. Let me know if you run into any issue even after following the instruction on how to load old save files.

Hello everyone, I'm a huge fan of sandbox and corruption games and have always wanted to create my own game for a while now. Sovereign is the result of that. I'm still relatively new to the game development scene and this is just a hobby at the moment but I will try my best to have at least 1 update per month. The first version of the game was made roughly in 3 months since I was still new to renpy and daz so a lot of time was spend on just learning how to make things. I'm planning to have an update very months with at least 10 events and more things to do in sandbox.
