Well not exactly, not all of the hot orc ladies are his wives. If they were, we would have Gweyr's mom in the harem already.
I'll stick with Kasha, thanks. I can relate to her attitude, and her name reminds me of one of my favorite 80s porn queens. :)

Nothing is really changing as is. The resolution stays the same (which the HD and Full HD means, basically 720p and 1080p resolutions), just that the image compression will be the same as what most other dev's use in the end. Ultimately it is just ensuring that people who aren't willing to pay to download larger files can still download it.
Not sure of the reason you use an old renpy version but you could always update to a recent renpy and use avif. I compressed TRS2 with it, your compressed version is about 4GiB my avif version is about 2.3GiB and looks about the same and obviously is based on your full sized release so you would likely see better results with completly uncompressed source. Something to play with if you ever have the time, though quite where you'd find that I don't know.

I really like this game. It looks great - the models in particular are.. I'm incredibly impressed with the models of all the different kinds of creatures. The story is entertaining, engaging and fun enough that you want to read it all.

My only real criticism is that the lewd parts are... mostly not that good? It's hard to explain why, because technically they are fine, but I've come to the conclusion that it's mainly two problems. First is that they are too formulaic. There are some exceptions, but 90% of the lewd scenes progress in the exact same vanilla way in MCs bed. This means there is no sense of individuality and personality despite the LIs being such very different races. Secondly they are.. too long? This is related to the first point because they are long and not that unique. Also the dirty talk (if you enable the toggle, which at least made it better than the mute scenes) is mostly the same across the characters (I did appreciate the differences for Eshe in the last update).

Despite spending a lot of text writing out that single criticism, I feel the need to repeat again that this is a very good game, and definitely among my favorite games on the site. And once more - the models and renders are *amazing*.

Really good VN. I have now played through it 4 times and I love it all. The one "complaint", wich is not even that, is that there is yet to be elves proper :'(. You can argue that the "animations" are stiff, but honestly, it is not the point of it, does not matter for me. Apart from that I have nothing bad to point out. The story is pretty straight forward and easy to follow. The characters are good enough and there are some pretty diverse characters you meet.
Good job!

Hello all!

Hmm... I might have made a mistake and used too few variables. Annoying. Not entirely sure what I was thinking at that point while coding. Meh. I'll sort it out somehow, if nothing else than a nice questionnaire at the start of 0.36.0. Anyway.

Rendering is going, not entirely happy where I am, but set building, a lot of characters on screen, and some variants tends to slow things down. There is one variant that I'm not happy to render, but it needs to be done, sadly. For Malgrin's "ending" there are three states: one is good, one is bad, and one that is... better, but not that good either. There is fairly little wiggle room with things. I might revisit the thing later on, seeing how it goes with the ending people get. Right now, they are the way I want. Not easy, nor difficulty. And speaking of renders, I have about 30 images to fix for the next version, then just need to convert them.

Writing is where it should be, more or less, so I can't complain. Just hoping the weekend will be good for writing. You can tell that we are heading towards the end. Making all that I want to put in is easy, but the problem is pacing the events and providing just enough information, so it seems to be "realistic" and not at the omnipotent level. The issue is that you have to fill the gaps without opening new plot threads, other way would be doing some time jumps, but that is the last resort. Luckily, there are few that I created intentionally... and a couple unintentional ones that I can use to fill the gaps. Eh could be worse.

And I'll keep this update spoiler free still so a couple of random pictures.

Two reasons for this render, to test the environment and the prosthetic arm the lady in green kaftan has, it's kind of... magic? I'll do a better render about it eventually. But for now it's seems useable for what I want. I'm mostly happy with it, the environment is a bit heavy but it is workable. Lightning is... yes well... it's decent for 30 seconds hack job I did. But with that knowledge, I can plan some scenes for the next section that is coming. And the environment is useful for a future job as well...

And then there is this. Our friend is sad because the inter dimensional customs confiscated his fishing rod... So sad. I'm bit annoyed that I haven't found a place to hide him in this game, yet. But paired with the render above I might have an idea, just need to wait the right opportunity... Anyway. That's it for this week. Things are going okay, I'll more clear idea on Monday how things will look. You all have a great weekend!
