You'll be glad to know that this has been fixed for the next version of the game. Videos will now have their own volume slider in the settings. For some reason, Ren'py doesn't automate this, but it does provide helper functions to set up custom systems, which I've now done.
For those of you who have played the card game a bit, how is the performance? Is the animation smooth or stuttery for you? If the latter, what are your specs?
I spent a lot of time optimizing the game's code and writing efficient, custom caching to push the framerate as high as possible, but Supermodel's card game is extremely demanding for a Ren'py game. The deckbuilder is the worst offender with its myriad of cards visible at once, but the card game itself can also get demanding after a few turns. It's not a problem on my PC or tablet, but both of those are high-powered compared to what I suspect most players might be using. Nobody has ever mentioned the game's performance to me up to this point, which is why I now ask.
I'm also curious about performance when opening card packs, especially with multiple unncommon/rare/epic cards visible at once. The particle system I wrote for this is not what Ren'py was ever intended for, so it's enormously demanding compared to similar particle systems in more established 3D engines. That screen pushes the particles to the absolute limit of what I felt the engine could handle.
