Wed May 04, 2022 7:22 pm I haven't had a chance to play the latest version, so I apologize if this has already been updated, but my brain came up with a suggestion which may help reduce future "error reports" of "missing media": Change the file to make it clear to the player that it isn't an error.
Instead of "Missing Media!" with the YT :/ face (which is used when a video is actually expected to be there but a problem was encountered or the video is literally missing), maybe something like "Video coming 'soon' in a future version of Clean Slate!" or "Placeholder - Check back in future updates for more videos!" ... or even just "PLACEHOLDER" over a blurred-out generic-porn-image.
Just so it's as obvious as the old "image_needed.png" and "halt.jpg" are that it isn't communicating "there's been an error" or "maybe you installed this wrong", but very clearly that the game is working as intended but isn't finished yet.

: lol - that's what I thought the YT sad-face image was! if there's an actual problem it shows a blank screen or missing/broken link icon -- or completely crashes and burns. The "Missing Media" splash was
added to specifically call out when the code worked, but failed to identify any media to display.
but from what I can tell there's another site
(maybe f95zone, or lewdplanet or however many others) that skipped the v0.8.6. So people are jumping from v0.8.5 to v0.8.7 so they're missing the resource re-structure that came with 0.8.6 --- and in that situation it *would* throw up a blank screen or broken image icon cuz the code identified some media but then couldn't find it...and
*that* I don't think I can code for.
