Visual novel question

(1/4) > >>

Catradys:
So I've recently started my first visual novel Clannad (loved the Anime adaptation so I figured I would try to game) it's the english full voice version btw don't know if it will have an impact on the answer to my question but I figure the more info the better. Anyway, I chose to do the Misae route first and after finishing the credits rolled etc. but then it just went back to the home screen. Anyway my question is are you able to complete all the routes on a single game save file, or are you supposed to start a new game for each additional route you play. I know this might seem like a simple problem but my logic seems to be escaping me atm. Any help would be appreciated.

Start the next one then, you've cleared one, move on to the next, there's no user profile or some similar shit right, don't worry, just move on.

Southrop:
With Clannad, you have a hundred save slots. Those are for if you want to save in game. All your progress and unlocked stuff are saved in a separate file.

If you check your SAVEDATA folder, you'll see things like save000.sav or save001.sav if you've saved a game. Other files you should see include but are not limited to save999.sav, read.sav and REALLIVE.sav. These 3 files contain your game progress. save999.sav is especially important, as it contains your unlocked CG, BGM (and probably more). read.sav contains an indicator for the engine so it knows which lines you've read before (if you use the fastforward previously read lines function). Not exactly sure about the REALLIVE.sav though. It probably contains your story progress (i.e. which routes are unlocked, which are cleared, which have been perfectly completed (light obtained, etc.).

Temuthril:
Some routes may split at the same point, for example Kyou/Ryou. Google for Clannad 300 hour guide for more.
