Save-Safe
Update checker
Check your Ren'Py update for save-breaking changes before your players find them.
It compares your last release with your new build and reports every change that would break a player's existing saves, with a fix for each: a stub label, an after_load migration, or an image alias.
01 Quick start
- 1Keep a copy of your previous release: the project folder, a git tag, or the old zip.
- 2Point the checker at the old version and the new one.
- 3Read the report. Every finding tells you where, why, and how to fix it.
python3 save_safe_check.py path/to/OLD-version path/to/NEW-versionTip: add --strict before a release so risky changes fail the check too.
03 What it checks
✕ Breaks old saves
- A label renamed or removed
- jump or call to a label that no longer exists
- A default variable renamed
- A default value that changed type
- A new $ variable with no default, used across scenes
- A Python class removed or renamed
! Risky
- call without from
- .rpy files removed or renamed
- default switched to define, or define values changed during play
- init python objects changed during play
- Python random instead of renpy.random
- Screens removed or changed
- Missing images
- persistent. fields removed or renamed
· Good to know
- Harmless notes, like a new default
04 Flags & exit codes

--output report.txt | Also save the report to a file |
exit 0 | Nothing breaks saves |
|---|---|
exit 1 | Something will break saves |

05 Tested on real saves
17/17found by Save-Safe
1/17found by Ren'Py lint
We built a sample game and an update with 7 save-breaking and 10 risky mistakes, then loaded real saves from the old version in Ren'Py 8.3.7. They failed to load, crashed or lost values. After the fixes Save-Safe suggested, the same saves loaded and played to the end.
Gallery & Replay Room
A gallery and a replay room you can add to a Ren'Py 8 game.
Your players can collect pictures as they play. They can open a picture big, mark the ones they like, and watch a short video clip. They can also replay a scene. The replay does not change their save.
01 What you get
- A gallery with categories, favourites, and a locked-card placeholder
- A full-screen viewer that pauses skip and auto-forward, then puts them back
- Short video clips, such as WebM, with a still image on the card
- Alternate views of a scene, for when you want a second picture of the same moment
- A replay room that plays a label and then returns to the save
- Keyboard and gamepad controls
- Text that is ready to translate
- An "unlock all" switch that only shows while you are testing
You add your own pictures and your own scenes. A settings block lets you change the colours, the fonts, and how many cards sit in each row. The built-in look is a dark page with an amber accent. Seen-image unlock is off until you turn it on. The buttons do not rely on the default Ren'Py menu art, so they still work if you restyle the game.
A tiny sample is in the download. The pictures are plain shapes. One clip is a short silent video made for the sample. Nothing in the sample is from a finished game. The sample is safe for work.
