Taking a look at the code since your message I saw an issue with the persistent files. Going to correct the issue/s and upload an 'error free' update. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello there!
Thanks for your compression. I want to invite you to join us in the Game Compression Requests 2.0 Thread where community members can request compressed versions of games and game compressors post which games they are compressing to avoid that two (or more) compressors are compressing the same games at the same time. We help each other and exchange experiences and tips and ofc we also have much fun
.I also compressed this game and I don't like it when my work is in vain so please post in said thread next time before you start compressing. Thanks

I must admit, if I had a concern - it's with the overall size of the game.
All those animations and eye blinking are already stacking up...
With only 2 releases of the game so far (current release is 0.02), the game is already 1.1GB.
I don't mind big games. This isn't a "compressed version needed" post. I just worry just how big the game will be with the 0.06 release or 0.09 releases. Some of the hosting sites just don't like files that big. Mega for example limits "normal" users to 4GB per day. M$ OneDrive has a 5GB limit.
Whilst I do appreciate the effort that has gone into those cut-scene style interludes and the extra touches like the eye blinking - I do worry that add a lot of size the game for features that most players wouldn't miss.
The sound effects though... definitely worth the minor disk space increase.
On a technical note, the game makes the common mistake of creating a

Sadly... too late now. There are already save files out there where

On a technical note, the game makes the common mistake of creating a
Character() object using lines like:define mc = Character('Paul')... then overwrites the original definition with a string object by using
renpy.input() - or in this case, VariableInputValue().It doesn't make too much difference here, because not much customization is done to the
Character(). But had their been any custom colors or anything like that... they would have been lost.What you probably needed was...
Python:
default mc_name = 'Paul'
define mc = Character('[mc_name]')
define mct = Character('[mc_name]', what_prefix='{i}(', what_suffix='){/i}')
label start:
mc "[mc] is talking."
mct "[mc] is thinking."
returnmct is a second character, with the same name as the MC. But every time they "speak", it automatically adds parenthesis and italics to everything said. It's a nice quick way of doing "(Paul is thinking.)" without having to add all the text formatting each and every time.Sadly... too late now. There are already save files out there where
mc is stored as a string rather than a Character() and whilst it's technically fixable - I'm really only mentioning it for future projects.

Thank you for your concern about the weight of the game. Don't worry, I'm gonna upload a new version correcting some coding issues (persistent names/relationships issue is one of them) and compressing the images to webp to lower its size.
I hope to have it ready ASAP, I don't wanna lose possible supporters because of some minor bugs. So probably it should be ready on Monday or Tuesday if not before.
Whenever I have the option to not use Mega for their limited download per day, I use NOPY, as this one doesn't have that limitation.
Yeah, between the download limits and the redirect links, I save mega as a last resort, they are just awful to use here.

Mega's even worst on android, they keep insisting that 200MB is too much to download on a browser, and I should be using their app instead. Yeah, no. I can download with my PC, and shove the damn apk on my network share. Nice try, Mega.
Relationship such as Paul calling his little sister his 'brother', even though her relationship to Paul is properly set in the phone? It kinda ruins the immersion.. lol.

Honestly, Mega sucks balls. Way too many restrictions that aren't there for any of the other file hosts. I always try to use Nopy, with Mega as a last resort.
HAhaha, yeah, it was a bug, she is fixing that one now, and should have a fix for it soon (she is fixing a few other things too). Expect a bug fix in a couple days or so.

True, not to mention that if like many of us you use a VPN then often mega will view you as already at your download limit and even with the App you can't download the file at all unless you close your VPN connection. NOPY never has that problem.
