thank god, unless you know what you're doing and actually know how to code half decently unity will run like a pile of un-optimized trash

- Using pre-build engines to reduce the coding work - thought behind this: drag & drop new content into the engine, link everything together (same goes for dialogues to reduce the effort to create an incest patch) - Done!
- Using "window decoration": make it look all fancy by customizing window box colors bought from the unity store etc...
After playing a enough Ren'Py games the main menu, and settings etc.., look boring because it is always the same. In Unity you can create and design everything as you want it. If you know how to code then Unity gives a creator more option to customize his game as Ren'Py does (if you know how to build your own libraries then you can to the same Ren'Py as well).

I think the reason was something like "The game is going to be too big (lmao yeah nice 0.2 update) to be made on Renpy" if I remember correctly. No idea where the "Too big for renpy" idea came from, I read some other dev say basically the same too.

Easy by using png format for 1920x1080 images. After 0.5 the game easily would reach 1,5 GB with now content in it.
This is why devs should use webp as format and not png or other formats.

Big game ≠ It weighs 2-4GB in the completed form, instead of 1GB.
webp is bad, for us all)

I guess he's talking about it from a convenience standpoint - aside from Browsers almost nothing supports the format out of the box. So when extracting PNGs or JPEGs you can just look through them on any Mac or Windows-PC - this is not the case with webp (and seeing how much trouble webm had gaining traction I don't see this changing anytime soon).
That aside - I'm pretty sure most games could be smaller even with FullHD-sized PNGs if they were run through PNGGauntlet. When properly compressed PNGs are compared to Webp in lossless mode the size difference is a single digit percentage.
Anyway - I'd guess that the animations are the bigger culprit there. Anyone got the size percentages at hand?
Wow, didn't believe it if I'm honest. I'd have thought this would again be weeks away. Hope it runs well this time. Would be great if we could get from the technical discussions to enjoying "the plot".

Just saw this on his Patreon. A custom OST? Seriously? Don't get me wrong, I aspire to be as good graphically as LewdLab one day, but fucking custom OST?! What the hell does he think this game is ... Cyberpunk 2077?! Has he got Keanu lined up for a cameo?
It's a porn game with beautiful graphics, fuck all story, and a questionable UI. Just forget sound.
Am I the only person who mutes the volume when playing these games?

Nope. It's first thing I do after unpacking game, muting down everything.

Why not get voice acting instead of a fucking composer to make an OST? Wut?

I mute everything aswell but going by what I've read on this forum lots of people don't.
Still I think he could find a better use of money than a custom OST.

Cheap VA is yeah, but it's like anything, you get what you pay for. Not to say I want VA for this game, nor that I don't want it, just simply making a point.

I honestly prefer a mood setting music track to VA. VA is something I also turn off as soon as I can but I like it when there is music fitting the scene (I enjoyed the creepy atmosphere it created in DoD whenever apparition appeared for example).
