Unity Abandoned Golden Mane - Casino Equestria [v0.0.5.4] [HentaiRed]

[thedevilyouknow]

no i had problems with this too, the game is very badly optimized.
it makes moving around in the dance club sluggish at the least

Yeah, I had to drop everything down in order not to have frame drops during the drinking games.

Examining the game in Unity and Cheat Engine, it's clear there's a lot of improvements to make. For one, the game creates a new instance of nearly everything each time you enter/leave a room or scene and continues to update them. This means just by going from room to room, the game is leaking memory everywhere. Also, there's countless unnecessary effects. For example, in the bathroom there's a mirror that has a ton of visual effects applied to it. It's never culled when off screen, so these effects are constantly running and eating resources. Combine that with the memory leaks and the problem only compounds. The project also seems huge, including dozens of unity packages that aren't being used. There's things like multiplayer frameworks included which means there's plenty of clean up to be done.

Overall fun stuff. I tend to like things like this. The English could be cleaned up a fair bit but the animations and everything are pretty nice. Also, for an initial release, there seems to be plenty of features. Sure the mini games need tweaked a bit, but they're implemented well. Personally, I love clothing and character customization so that's great to see. The game does a lot and does it well.

Can't wait to see how this project grows.

we just found out that the game was uploaded to f95, I work with hred in this game, say that the game is still in process and we still haven't released a public version precisely because we have to correct bugs and many things, there will be more games to earn coins to those who have problems getting them but will be in later updates

 

[yitan1983]

hred will put the public version when it is finished, intro is missing, the editor of the male character and many things, for now we will not notify the moderators and we will leave it, but keep in mind that it is a non-public version so it will have bugs

 

[yitan1983]

Now that we know that it was uploaded, I will answer your questions, if there are sex scenes, for now light as already stated in this early phase, although this month we have something prepared for Pinkie so you can see more meat, for coins the easiest way is With poker, we admit that blackjack is quite heavy, and it will not only be futa, we are preparing a male character editor either as a pony or a human, any questions about the game I answer

 

[Foxe]

Hey, good to see and glad you're addressing this. Sorry this seems to have been uploaded without your consent. Personally I really like it as I said in my quick review above and I'm sure many others do as well. I mentioned a couple of suggestions I had above but if you're looking for specific feedback then let me know.

One other big suggestion I would have would be to cut down the animation times on a lot of the menus as well as maybe speed up the animations a bit. Things can feel a bit floaty and slo-mo across the board. One question I had was if this project has a patreon or some more official avenue of release? It would be great to know the official source.

Thanks and great job so far!

 

[yitan1983]

I understand your review, and we already knew those speed optimization problems, the official thread is in patreon hred, it is well placed on the main page, but this game should not be released to the public for 2 or 3 more months due to the bug problem and optimizations, in addition to other missing factors such as an intro and the initial menu, we wanted to give it a good wash before publishing it publicly because we are very proud of what we are doing with this game and we would have liked them to see it in the best possible way , now there is no remedy for it to go out of patreon so we will try to be pending of comments and what people think to give them the precise answers

 

[yitan1983]

in regards of the animations we prefer that they be as complete as possible without cuts, the problem that we still have to optimize both the casino room and the party room, for those who have not found it, the party room is located at the end of the corridor leaving the area the bathrooms, there you will find pinkie pie, in future updates we want to make ponyville as detailed as possible (there will be a fast travel system for those who do not like to walk much but be careful you can miss scenes if you do not observe the scenarios) but for now we focus on finishing the casino and the interior areas because it is where you will most often have to be for reasons of money and the history of the game, I still believe that it is a shame that it came out sooner than we had planned so that people would fully enjoy it and see its potential

 

[yitan1983]

at least next time say why do you think it is trash, obviously out of the optimization problem that I have already explained

 

[Xcellence]

Am I the only one who feels that the entire game itself is just fighting me? Between the RNG, the stiff movements just trying to navigate, and the occasional stability drops its rough...

 

[yitan1983]

sorry for that, but I repeat it is a non-public build, only for patreons, but someone uploaded it without permission and there are many bugs and fixes to do,

We are lowering the rng a little, although I repeat poker is the easiest to win, blackjacks are more like the original and the slots are like the original, we must optimize both the casino and party rooms, as creators we feel this leak because it was not made for the public yet,also say the camera moves better in the first person than in the third, we are still solving those errors

 

[yitan1983]

at least make you do a little better, the screen resolution will be lowered to 640 and it will go quite fast, at the moment it is recommended to play with 4gb ram and an average cpu, it needs optimization but at the moment they are the ways to play


I will put my system and I play it within the decent although I still have some slow motion problems in large rooms but we are solving it, since it has come out public we will try to fix those problems

8gb ram

cpu 8550U

gpu nvidia gforce MX130

 

[yitan1983]

To those who do not follow us on patreon, we have already managed to increase the speed of the game and eliminate many bugs, now we are with the editor of the male character as you can see in the image,of course is both pony and human the choice

 

[dusk1123]

Not sure how much more work has been done on the side of patreon, but I would have suggested this, treat the game like a old school flash hidden object game. Keep people happy while keeping the character builder interface in, have the player made creation show up on either the left or right of the conversation bubble. Yes some people won’t like the interface of a old school flash game of here is your bag of items, here’s the map, ok this door in the background I can click on. Yes I can understand the pride you get from showing of a finished project and I know you did not plan on others seeing, what I can guess is only. 0.5 percent done of what yours plans are, but sadly how you tried to make it, everything suffers, with a basic style like I suggest it gives you time to first flush out the story, and how some events should start, with a flat image of the characters it gives you time on working on a very lovely and detailed outfit, or outfits. you get feedback from this simple version of the game of what people liked, what people disliked, it will give a much clearer picture from people who actually want to help and more things to fix as you make a part two with the game of the full blown animated vision. It may mean little but I do hope this project won’t die.

 

[yitan1983]

the game will not die, there is a lot of way ahead, with respect to what you have commented thanks for your suggestions, we can not make the point and click game would remove the essence of the virtual experience game with the girls (ponies), say that things are missing to better explain things and what you have to do as the intro with her story, we are working on it but being an animated intro it takes time,

if you need clues, during the loads and start of minigames there is an explanation of what to do for now, for more or less this week or the next one will be updated with the optimization so that the off-patreon players enjoy the game correctly, for the moment only optimization , we are still thinking about how to make updates to the public with new additions but quit the exclusivities of patreons

anyway say that in some minigames there will be point and click styles and some of the old school that we have in project, it is a very varied game of styles,

it's a matter of time that everything comes out but it's just that, patience

thank you for the reply, but I meant with the point and click. I’m saying make a public build version of your game and flipping what story you have and turn that into point and click, it’s more of a brut force idea, it will let the game run a little smother and let you test out pathing at a much faster rate if the people you have testing the game. In no way am I saying through out all the work you have. I’m saying for updates design the game as point and click small sections at a time, yeah people will be upset, if you explain. | from this point on we will try the updates this way, for our fans we still wish to have your support but for the time we wish to change the style to make sure before we give a full release that you might enjoy helping us test for bugs in this way and help us come up with ideas to fix specific clue text or pathing bugs.| it’s more or less a way of saying ok this is our plan for this section, what do you think, what higher quality details might you like. It’s to show fans more love while getting very helpful reports, yes some might give you the same bug report, but you might get helpful ideas from other creators that have had that same issue in the past.

 

[yitan1983]

It is a difficult case because it would be doing double the work, anyway you will soon have an official alpha with everything corrected and optimized, at the content level it is the same but improving by much the speed, periodically we will upload updates, if someone finds bugs or suggests ideas we will listen and respond

 

[Coldone]

it's a pre-pre-pre-alpha and people complain about bugs and optimization...camone
Dev already said that this wasn't suppose to go live before 2-3 months, and that's a lot of work and fix you can do in those time.

Thank you!, I have not reply in this Thread, because Yitan1983 is already responding to the messages ^^.

But as the companion says in the post that I quote, indeed, it is a pre alpha, the game was too "early" to go public, it has many bugs and is NOT optimized.

Next week, at the beginning of the month, we will release an optimized version, VERY optimized, with corrected bugs, which I invite you all to try, I would really appreciate it, try the new version, and then, if you want, you can criticize the game.

Every month you will have a public update, with less content than the Patreon version, but in this way, we will be able to improve the game, and perhaps you will discover that it is a good game.

inb4 devs start to argue with random people in this forum/twitter/wherever, some kind of drama happens and the project gets abandoned
