1. What's the best relatively lossless image compression?

i think there was thread somewhere in the fórum
https://f95zone.to/threads/webpy-bat-v0-1-webp-based-image-compressor-rpa-extractor-included.12477/

in any case there is always people that compress games if they are good enough, so they may do this game when they are online

yihman1 i think webpy is better and easier than that tutorial.

Animations are definitely on my to-do list. I do worry about how they'll effect my workflow though considering how time consuming this already is without all the 24 fps animating.

2. Aw, I like the font. I wanted something kinda arabic (and free!). I can look into alternatives. The font will actually change for story reasons at a certain point though to another style entirely.

Also thanks for trying the different path combos since I played through it a bunch trying to break it and finally couldn't seem to.

Here is a compression tutorial, they can tell you how to do it better than I can explain myself.

As for the font, ya it's pretty I agree, just hard to read.

I have 2 questions : Is there a dominant character in your party? (the girl or trans) since the trap look submissive. Would the graphic violence be mild or extreme?

As a bigtime reader and someone who reads the text in games, hard to read fonts no matter how thematic always cause problems. I'd place value on a readable font and then keeping everything else in theme, the font looking out of place is a very insignificant issue as opposed to causing frustration from it being hard to read.

I'd take a very generic renpy ui and text over anything that looks nice but is a pain to read. After all it is still visual novel, which means lots of reading will be done

I like what I’ve played so far. When it comes to fantasy settings I’ve often found them lacking in some shape or form compared to more modern set games, but here? The writing was self-aware enough that it gave the whole thing a lot more colour and bounce to it and most of the renders and character designs look pretty respectable.

And I like that the content (planned and implemented) is diverse. If it’s all optional for the player and not enforced then as far as I’m concerned it’s a big plus.

I shall watch this Dev and game with great interest.

I'll probably have a dominant and submissive path for Astrid depending on player choice. Regardless she's gonna be way more aggressive than Tahir. She is a musclebound warrior, after all. Also the graphic violence is mainly over the top. I don't know if you played the first episode but the "execution" scene and a certain character meeting his demise from an arrow are probably the extent of the graphic violence. It's mainly silly. The main antagonist might have more serious violent scenes but it'll still be the kind of stuff you see in like a pg-13 to maybe light R-rated film.

I like that we actually get to choose what content to participate in. My type is "If it looks like a girl, acts like a girl, etc" so traps and trans don't particularly bother me provided they qualify. Especially if they are submissive.

I haven't downloaded the game yet, but it has certainly caught my interest and I'll be keeping an eye on progress. Just a heads-up though, if ya do intend to put NTR content in the game, I recommend making it optional in the "doesn't happen" sort of way rather than the "you didn't see it" kinda way. Touching that fetish is like trying to disarm a bomb while colorblind. It can quickly devolve into inviting a sort of "clientele" that repel and taunt folks who don't like their fetish, and also the raging nomads of the internet who hunt them and basically turn all discussion into a town shootout. There's a difference between the 3 NTRs, but to the people that don't like it there isn't. Might be safest to steer clear all together.

Anyway, I do encourage you to continue and will be looking forward to seeing how this goes.
