Hello, hello, dear Truckers and Hustlers!
Here are the links for the R7:
And just like always, before you dig in, some important information.
1) Release 7 is compatible with previous versions.
Your old saves (roughly up to R6.5) are compatible!
In case you are coming from an even older installation, or you have multiple versions of the game installed, and you can't see your old saves in the Load screen, check the guide below.
2) There are currently no known issues
3) To find the new content:
You can get to Purple Den directly from the main map.
Thank you so much for your patience, and my humble apologies for the delay, friends! And just like always, in case of any weirdness, bugs/issues, please let me know!
Please enjoy Release 7!

Old saves troubleshooting:
Grab the new build, run it once. Close it. That will create a new folder, like C:\Users\Your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\StarPeriphery
Find the old saves you want to transfer to the new game version. They can be in a folder like C:\Users\Your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\StarPeriphery-SOMENUMBERS666288 Or, in a /saves folder, inside the main folder of the old build you played before.
Move these old saves to the new folder, C:\Users\Your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\StarPeriphery <- WITHOUT any numbers suffix.
Run the new build, see saves appear. If they don't, repeat steps 1-4 till they do.
After you have moved your saves, you will never need to do that again. Each new build of SP will store its saves in that same Appdata/StarPeriphery folder.
You can delete the Appdata/StarPeriphery-numbersnumbers folder, as it's been unused for 2 releases as of now.
