VN Ren'Py Shadows [v0.5] [Vicxlose]

[Potoum]

I wish the dev Vicxlose use the right RenPy command to load/unload animation... It's another one of those game where if 2 animation play back to back without an intermediary still image, then RenPy is trying to render both animation in memory. It doesn't unload the previous animation from memory if another animation follows it. It has something to do with 'show' to play animation BUT NOT using 'hide' to stop it... OR the developper/programmer could use 'scene' to play animation instead of 'show'.

I've seen many places in the game(pretty much in every sex scene) where my CPU is at 100%, my computer become unresponsive/laggy, the animation is 'jittering' playing/rendering half the frame... all this I presume because 'hide' isn't use after 'show'... And that problem arise because 'show' is use instead of 'scene'.

P.S. I know absolutely nothing about RenPy, this was all explain to me here.

Can't imagine this being ported to android, it's not like phone have a graphic card with 512GB of VRAM.

Thanks for pointing that out! I checked, yes, the animation is stacked and doubles CPU usage as a result. I'll see what I can do about that when I have some free time. I used the "show" command to show the animations without the transparent/gray screen in between, which I had when using the "scene" command.

Thank you! I added your link in OP.

 

[Homealone]

Oh, OK. Set quick_menu to True using the console, or use this little mod that binds auto mode to the . key.

Thx a lot man, I guess this mod should work on any game?

Use the start_image attribute when creating the Movie image to show that instead of the transparent screen while the animation is loading.

I sense that what push developper to use 'show' instead of 'scene' is that snag with the transparent screen.
I know what an incorrect use of 'show' leads to thanks to my ancient computer.
Incorrect use of 'show' leads to animation memory stacking...
2-3 sometimes 4 animation being render 'on the fly/real-time' simultaneously.
Effectively crippling my i7 2.8Ghz, 12 gig DDR3, Nvidia GT 730. Yeah *ancient* I know.

I'm confident this problem will be fix in the next update... (start_image attribute)
Because I know my computer, no matter is old age, should have no problem rendering ONE animation.
This 'show'/animation memory stacking remind me of Apple iPhone update for some reason... Upgrading scam

I tested one scene from Chapter 3 with the start_image attribute, and I'm pleased with the result.

Will the bestiality be avoidable? I like sick and nasty content but leave the real animals/furries out of it. Maybe it's just me but that kind of content is a total turn-off.

There are no real people, animals, furries, midgets, dolls, etc. in this game, all characters are fictional. But I'll think about the concept of flashbacks.

 

[Psicomaniaco]

Is this game gonna feature some kind of amputation (gory or not) in the future?
