use unreal engine if you have £45 for the visual novel framework


unity pro should work on everything
Interesting. At the bottom of that page it says "Supported Target Build Platforms: Windows PC". Is that inaccurate?
Unity Pro is $1500/year.

Going Unity would also raise required computer specs, especially in the GPU-department.

Having said that the current somewhat extended loading time is probably related to the author's way of coding not being efficient for Renpy. The game currently consists of over 800 separate rpy-files. Consolidating the project into even a tenth of that number would probably result in a fair speed increase, but I'm not sure it's worth it with EP2. Maybe for EP3 if there is one?

most platform code remains the same, most of the time is up close to 95%, the remaining part you can just wrap in compiler macro's for platform independent code changes, to make doom 3 run on linux, takes 40 lines of code being wrap in compiler macro's with c++

That brings up another point. If a dev does not release a Mac or Linux of a Renpy game, it's trivial for a consumer to make one out of the Windows-version. That is not the case when it comes to Unity. The threshold to do that in Unity is much higher.

How to finish last photoshot? I've finished Melanie storyline, go often to office and collect the raports on my own. But Biff always says that there is no work for me. I've completed all other storylines.

not using renpy makes life easier if you want to go from patreon to steam like

I'm not familiar with how that process works and while I am interested examining it, we're getting further and further off topic. :)

You can only get the shoots when Monica owes $5000, so once per week (Friday), generally speaking. At one point the shoots are off limits uuntil you complete at least the first Monica encounter with Steve in his office. Weeks that Monica does Steve she can't do the shoots. You do two shoots in each outfit to get the shoot completed note. Do all of the top and middle shots the first time, bottom and advance pose the second (or vice-versa). You donn't need all three shots in each pose, but cannot tell in advance which shot/pose combos add to the portfolio, so just go through them systematically.

It seems no big problem for Ren'Py games, too ^^ (But I'm no expert in that field)
