the game is diverse.... i know this can take much time... but i think so many renders for an single event is a waste... instead there should be more events and a regular update is appreciated

it looks very good for me..
Maybe on a smartwach screen ;)

Maybe it's a joke and I don't get it because of my poor English. I'm not an expert in image processing, but I am a mathematician with enough background in the field of data compression. Take an 1080p and a 720p versions of the same image in the same lossless format, and apply the same lossy compression on both of them, it's certain that the 1080p image file size will be larger than the 720p image file size. Maybe I wasn't correctly understood, so let me rephraze it in more detail. Take a scene, render it in 720p and apply a lossy compression on it. Render the same scene in 1080p. If you want the 1080p lossy file to match the size of the 720p lossy file, then you would have to use a much more aggressive compression.
I agree, that's why every decent tool has quality setting. For example, in imagemagic, webp in quality 100 (there is more to that, but I don't want to go too technical - btw. I just noticed from my bash history, that I accidentally set the lowest quality setting for the compression method in my testing above) will be several times larger than in quality 95 with virtually no or very minimal quality difference.

Long story short, 1080p webp compressed with quality 92 looks much, much better than 720p compressed with quality 99, with a similar file size. proof:


[...] on your 1000$ 6.5" smartphone from a regular viewing distance. While you may find some differences in a thorough examination, it won't be of any real significance.
I was being sarcastic about the smartphones. Who the fook uses smartphones to play renpy games. I don't even understand people watching pornhub on that crap, unless you fap in a train on the way to work. Buy a decent 27"+ 4k+ screen and you'll never go back.

That's not true. He said that rendering wasn't an issue with in the context of rendering in 720p. As I said before, 1080p rendering time will be 2.25 times longer than 720p rendering time. And that may be an issue...
Let's say, you're right. I really don't care that much to look for the source.

I bet if L&P rendered everything in 720p and then upscaled his images to 1080p nobody would have known and nobody would have cared in the first place. Deep inside you know it, but hey, he promised...
People are as blind as a bat, then. Again, you really don't see the difference?

You and me both brother but realistically I am beginning to thing we will only make REAL progress in the story annually despite how many "wordy" updates he releases.
Well we have already been told this next release will continue the lesbian route, so it's gonna be at least another 3-6 months before we potentially get what we want. And I'm the kinda guy who doesn't consider a BJ as sex. Yes it is a form of sex, but I wanna see her either being grounded and pounded or her riding the D of someone else, weather it be Sam, Dylan, the teacher guy, the thugs, the school bully, her sister's husband, or whoever!

Not gonna lie I like the option of being able to play some of these games on andriod, I used an old samsung S7 and it works ok. I like using computer a lot better though, like you said bigger screen plus with the two games I tried playing on my phone I found it a lot harder to navigate lol. I only used my phone cuz I had to go out of town for a week and don't have a laptop, doesn't happen to often or i'd prolly just get a used laptop. Not saying things should be delayed to wait for android releases, I think the pc update should come first.

Anyways really enjoy this game and look forward to the next updates, no matter how long they take.

Wait, if I understand this straight:
He recognized the yoga event was already larger than expected and he went ahead and did 80 more renders?

LOL

End of August lesbian update incoming. Hope I'm mistaken and the yoga event is worth all those renders but knowing his work and agenda, I doubt it.
Old Dog said it would be end of this month or 1st of August. So I hope he's right about that. But inclined to agree end of August with you

If we consider that 0.095 was just a scene and nothing was to be seen in e.g. the lesbian route .... and now the update has been at approx. 65% for exactly 3 months, it still needs approx. 35% and ~2 months (mid September is my guess).

Yeah, the real update with rel. a lot of content from 0.09 (end of December) to 0.1 takes about 9 months!
The Dev has won so many new Patrons, but instead of being faster, it has become much slower and he was clever enough to split the updates from 0.01 to 0.005 (!!!) so that the snail's pace is not so noticeable!

I mean he has some really good looking models and has a great story going on, so I can see why he has a huge following on Patreon.

All is great, but his tempo is ridiculous slow! It should be 3-4 months between real updates (0.01), but not 9 months!

Consider of ~1200 Patrons (~15k $$$ I guess!) and his last goal it's just awful:

I agree with you 100%. I've read in the thread he's a perfectionist and doesn't want to hire help but if he did, we could get updates potentially on the regular, which is something that everyone wants apparently.

yeah, and in the previous goal he said: "Furthermore, I'll try to hire someone to help me out with the project!"

:rolleyes:
...it was probably just trying!
