If the new build improves things I'll have a proper release on SubStar tomorrow (along with a general bug patch for PC users).
Oh week-ago Mira, you were so optimistic.

Anyways, I'm finally back with a much-improved build that should completely solve performance issues on Android. You can grab v0.30.4 from these links, or from the updated links on the .





The new "low performance" mode replaces the default 4096x4096 textures for more manageable 2048x2048 ones, reducing memory usage and solving the Android crash issue. On Android, low performance mode is enabled by default, on PC you can swap to it from the preferences menu. Starting low performance mode for the first time will take a moment as the 2048 texture set is rendered out and saved; future startups will be much faster.

If you want more detail on what the issue was and what my troubleshooting journey looked like, I've written a bug post-mortem as well. If you like nerdy stuff, it's a post for you!

Tomorrow I'll be starting work on v0.31, beginning with a patron focus poll!

Isn't even 2048p is too much for renpy game? It's not Witcher or Skyrim, no one will stare at those textures thoroughly, no one even gonna notice. I didn't even know there is "textures" in 2d renpy games, isn't it just background and sprites?
Bro, your game have real performance issues, I played it on my old notebook and it crashed every 3-5 minutes, yeah it's old and have only 6gb of RAM, but it's first ever renpy game I saw that behaved like this. Even Insight of you worked pretty well, and there is pseudo(I guess it's pseudo) 3D and animations everywhere. And I'm not even talking about 0.30.x version of your game, crashes was on 0.29. While 0.30 felt wobbly even on my desktop with 16gb RAM.
You are just reducing the pool of potential players/enjoyers of your game. While no one ever will come to you and say "Nice game, I did especially like high-res textures, cause I hate to see pixelisation/quantization/dithering in my eroges when I'm playing them on my 4k display, good job dev!".

Overall, a good game, with kinda unique reverse point of view, a bit grindy though. (y)

While I don't disagree that performance issues suck, I believe you're thinking is a bit incorrect. Games like Insight of You are only showing you pictures/animations that are pre-rendered. This game is actually animating during gameplay, so it's inherently more performance intensive.

Easiest example to use is older Final Fantasy games. A lot of cutscenes look much better than gameplay because they're pre-rendered. All the game is doing is playing a movie, nothing else. During gameplay there's a lot more code being run, so it looks much worse.

Edit: Fuck, Final Fantasy 10 is over 20 years old, and now I made myself feel old. :confused:

Open up the menu, go to preferences, and select "Low Performance" mode. That should dramatically reduce the amount of ram being used.

Thanks for the help, but now it looks really ugly
This is as far as my PC goes for this game. Greetings and good luck :D

this is interesting, weird but interesting. at first it looks like shit (to be frank) but it grows on you. after a while it just looks like ass. it has a ton of missing(?) content. most of the time u just see the characters standing there, in various states of dress. for instance:
son is standing on one side mom on the other
-option to hug
-text says they hug but the characters just stand there
same with all the teasing events. but it does explain repeatedly that it is missing content, i just wish the text indicated a missing scene. hopefully the author cleans up the art too. its a very different style, but it is just too much.

-tangent-
now that you are not limited by the patreon BS, what if they got a dog? we only want the best, of all the '-ialities'...
