Your dev notes are weird, dude. "I'm uploading the full adult content version, that I'd normally restrict to supporters" right after saying "no sex scenes in the game, yet." So like... if you're gonna give us a sample of the adult content, you'll have to do that for the next chapter, too? At least for the first arc, if it has a sex scene? I cancelled my download since idc if there's no sex scene, yet. This is mostly a porn site... (and a pirate site)... but I'll add it to f95 Checker and come back later.

There is no sex scenes yet as it did not fit the narrative at this point, I tried to force 1 at the end of chapter 1 but I did not like how it broke the flow and there was no way to do it without having to rewrite a lot of things. Chapter 2 will have sex scenes, I plan 2 at least but may do more IDK. End of chapter 1 has nudity, thats it, IE the no sex scenes tag.
Reason I have a "adult content version" and a non one is because I plan to upload to steam with the adult content on the side. Supporters will have access to the full content, public release will be after supporter release and I made an exception for people of this site for the adult content for a few reasons.

Overview:
5 years ago a full nuclear war started and ended, most died in the initial blast and even more from the radiation later. You take control of the player character, in the post apocalypse USA, surviving alone for 5 years, now ready to go back up to the surface. Throughout his journey he will come across new creatures from the wasteland, meet new and old faces, and one that defies conventional explanation. Will the player character just survive with the few people he comes across, or will he build something that lasts the test of time? Perhaps becoming a king and ruling with an iron fist with his harem of women at his back, or maybe he will push too far and die like a dog in the wasteland.​

most ... even more ...

The nuclear apocalypse really did a number on their maths.

Compressed version needed...:rolleyes::cool:
All images are uncompressed 1440p QHD, so they are up to 7 MB each. Definitely needs some degree of compression, and I suggest to the developer to resize everything to standard HD before compressing. You could then offer the higher resolution to supporters as a benefit for their support. Most regular folks are still not interested in QHD.
No way to download without compression. This is heavier than Oprah!
Waiting for it.
You are right. I made all renders at 4k and downscaled to 2k. The game runs at native 2k, im going back to change it and downscale everything again to 1080 for default release and make 2k the supporter version if people want it. Thank you for that idea Boogie.

Maybe also look into more efficient formats like webp instead of jpg or png. Normally the quality with webp is the same as jpg, but with a significant less space requirement.

Good idea thank you. I was testing out jpg but will see about webp as well. I need to see if I can easily batch it too, not trying to convert 800+ renders 1 at a time lol. I'm using Photoshop to do the downscalling and conversions. Quality is the biggest thing for me, I have very high standards, I don't want grain or blur and thats the issue with compression. Trying to find that nice balance.

We need a compression hero

Updated the game to 1.3.1 with compress images that have very little to no change in quality. Download size is now less than 1gb!
Links should be updated soon!

So many AddEntryerrors in initial release hopes they get fixed on next updateo_O:unsure:
Could you explain more on this? I have not encountered this in play testing nor have any of my play testers. Can you post the error log please?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "game/notes.rpy", line 342, in <module>
AddEntryError: 13 is already taken.

When new entry being added to NOTES, always getting this error everytime...eg= entry 1,2,3 etc o_O :rolleyes:
And a couple of missing images as well:coffee::whistle:

Hey sorry for late reply. I started a new game with 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 and could not replicate this error. I even tried the unofficial compressed version thinking it could be that but even that did not have any note errors or missing images. Would you mind redownloading and getting a new save and just skipping though to see if you get the same issues? If not no big deal, you can just wait until ch2 release and I will add a clean save for the 2 endings of chapter 1 to pick up at.
