Can confirm it works, had black box issues in 1.1, none in 1.2

Thats great to hear. It's pretty challenging to diagnose an issue that I can't reliably recreate on any of my own devices.

And good to know rpgmaker handles cache issues in this manner. Gonna keep that in the memory banks.

Hey huh.
I tried to play it in joiplay and it still Black Box.
Is that weird?

So for RPG Maker MV/MZ JoiPlay is creating a web view and playing through that.

Seems stupidly simple and every game should play correct?

Well no, not exactly. The first issue is the NW.js APIs are actually re-implemented in with Java/c code backing the calls for things like file writes, since NW.js doesn't run on Android natively.

Second, some games (Summer Memories for example) expect a mouse and have controls setup for that. As you move from point A on the screen to point B, the movement calls mouse move hundreds of times allowing the game to track where your mouse is. Using a touch screen, you jump from point to point without those mouse updates, so the game may not play correctly.

Third, there's an issue with image size. WebGL2 defers to the GPU for textures. Most desktop GPUs can handle textures up to 8192x8192 but most Android phones can only handle 4096x4096. If you exceed this limit in either direction, then the image will become a black box. And it isn't a total pixel count, a 1x4097 image will show up as a black box on Android.

Fourth, there are issues with certain plugins and performance. In particular fog overlays seem to slow down rendering to a crawl.

If you look at one of my RGA packages (or the changelog JoiPlay notes) you'll see it really is a zip file with some special extras. In particular there's a config file for JoiPlay and a set of dummy files to prevent Android indexing. I had to reverse engineer things from the export function of JoiPlay to get enough information to start making packages.

Also note, a backup of JoiPlay creates a zip file with a password. I haven't dug into that any further.

I've been doing some research and this appears to be the issue, I reduced image sizes from 800x12000 to 800x6000 but that's still too large for joiplay to handle. which sucks ass. i should be able to account for this but going that low will be a pain to set up and cause really annoying flashing issues on computers. (the point of using the 12000 sized image was 0 flashing when changing faces/outfits ever.

I might be able to do a neat thing where I release a little package that handles this joiplay limitation and is downloaded and patched separately. That said this is not high on the priority list at the moment. It's somthing I can tackle when I have a bunch of downtime but for now it just is what it is.

Captain_Allegretto Is there a way to the MC became a cuckold? Like, he enjoying getting ntr'd by the futa and the other guys?

Not in the main plot at this moment. Though if the game does well and I can justify expanding subplots later down the line it's a fetish I wouldn't mind exploring.

The ntr planned to be in is currently: the endgame crisis detailed more in the opening post. Some single scene stuff floating somewhere around the ntr scale like the orcXHarpy scene currently in game. and one side story that is more of a stag/vixen relationship then a standard cuckold one.

Big_chungus88 · Feb 12, 2022

Ok, play the game...like it.
Now I will wait for more content(Specially the Futa and Monster Girl content).
Also hand holding huh? Could this mean like, healthy relationship?

Mmm.. I'll try to see what I can dig up on futa on male action.. Is there somehow to avoid anyone that don't have a big stiff cock they wanna stick up my bum? ;D

Can't believe how many easily offended people are scanning forums. Seems one can categarize players into the following groups:
- Seeing a dick that isn't MCs makes me gay.
- Seeing a dick on a chick makes me gay unless there's a hole at the bottom of her dick that looks like a cunt.
- Banging a chick with a dick in the ass is fine, but if anything enters my ass I'm gay.
- I don't give a damn what you call me.. Massage my prostate please ;D

Just read the Dev [post and it seems like solid ideas. If the NTR from the Big Bad Evil Guy really is temporary, then it should offer some good motivation for bodying him. Maybe we'll get some saucy revenge scenes if we defeat them? I'm excited for future updates.

Trying to find the dank herb for Bilia's side quest. Can't seem to find them. I've found the temple, but can't get in and can't find any of the herbs around it. I can't reread the directions for the recipe either, so I don't even know if it's the temple I'm looking for.

And where the hell is the Greenkeep?

Greenkeep won't be a vistable location in this game. It's just the closest neighbor to our setting and is refrenced occasionally for plot stuff.

Dank herb is blue and grows on walls. Closet one is right outside of the village here

As well as the one right outside the village, there's also some on the wall of the ruins. It's on the right side of the building, though I don't have a screenshot. And they take a few days to regrow.
Don't know what Greenkeep is though.

A big orc futa with futa on male content, and some gay + ntr on the side as well? Sign me the hell up
But will I eventually be able to marry my orc waifu?
