VN Ren'Py A Father's Sins [Ch. 35+36] [Pixieblink]

[Pixieblink]

Dev Your game is updated monthly or so. It would be NICE if you provide update copy. its useles to download full game every month . Beside updates are small'

SO DO WE HAVE UPDATE COPY ONLY!

It would be a great idea. One I've actually given some thought. Anyone have any idea how to pull that off in renpy?

Just zipping up the new/changed files with their dir structure would work for PC & Mac users, but I don't see any way to pull that off for android players. Which makes up something like 40% of the fan base.

ask from SonsOfLiberty

The main game is using webp image files, which are already compressed. Therefore you can't compress them anymore to such a small size (except you want "Minecraft" image quality...). I actually assume the game is "uncompressed" 10+ GB.

Yes, the original is about 12GB right now. Image files compressed with webp, webm video files with YAK video cruncher. Hard (if not impossible) to crunch the game any further without noticeably degrading the quality.

never impossible, seen 21 gigs compressed to under 2 gigs (low res jpgs etc).

This game is according Pixieblink 12GB uncompressed and ~1GB compressed (the one from SonsOfLiberty).
Therefore ~ 1:10 is usual and even fits with your example. But the one asking before wanted something like 1:30...

 

[SamualHand]

Thanks, but I've stopped now to maintain the Mod (no new game choices for quite some updates anyway)

Maybe you can make the nuns virgin?

it all depends on the source - if those are poorly optimized pngs, for example, it could be 1:50, or even more size reduction without significant quality loss....contrary if the source is optimized (webp, for example), compressing could yield only as low as 1:1,5 or so size differences.

They are virgins.
Unless Francine's bj/hj and
Tilly + Karina's experimenting counts...

HQ pngs (no idea about optimization (can ask from sol since he made compression)) etc and from 21.2 gigs to 1.76 gigs on pc version. dev webp compressed is under half of png-version.

Thank you for considering it.

Can the no nag patch please be listed in the op to help find them easier. Thanks.

where is the links to this game, all i am seeing is this forum without the main page where the links are?

Bless you my Son(s of Liberty)

Can we get an android port with this please.

1st page 1st post of thread.

Thank you for considering it.

Of course. Thanks for bringing it up.
I've actually spent quite some time trying to figure out how to pull it off. I run into 2 problems.

1. The android users. I just can't figure out a way to release updates where they can simply dump + overwrite into the existing game dir.

2. And of course the (significant) number of players that are NOT computer savvy. As in they get confused by "Unzip and copy - overwrite existing files".

The update procedure would need to be idiot-proof and AFAIK there simply isn't way to do that in renpy. Which would also explain why I don't see any other devs doing it.

Good idea though.

some devs actually, do sonsofliberty compresses some/many of those so ask from him. none/very few of those are here at f95 although.

Can you shoot me any example?

gamenames would be advertising (it's bad) but on nyx's game has update only and ds23games game has update only (possibly from compressor) and other big games (5+gigs).

1 renpy and 1 unity game has check updates button which then installs update but doubt that would suit you.

Is there a new un-nag patch? The latest one I could find is for v25.

I second MrTMs request for the nag patch to be linked in the OP, it took a fair while to find even the v25 one.
