Can I just ask what the point was in changing the game engine? It seems like a very difficult and time-consuming process that resulted in little benefit.
I don't know about you guys, but I've already run into several hindering functions.
Is there really no way to skip transitions? They look terrible, take too long, and significantly reduce the game's performance (I've had it crash twice now when skipping dialogue).
There also isn't a way to make the text/dialogue appear instantly, like you see in literally every Ren'Py game. Waiting for the text to 'roll out' has to be one of the most frustrating aspects of playing any visual novel. Even RPG Maker has figured that out. Every sentence takes less than a second to read, yet you have to sit there and wait for up to three seconds per sentence before you can continue. You can "cheat" by clicking again, but it feels very clunky and still takes longer than if the text was instant. It's not immersive; it's just stupid. A book doesn't have text you have to wait for, does it?
Also, using cheat engine to skip the time in-game is unacceptable. They've removed, in my mind, a lot of fundamental VN features with this engine. I really hope they adjust this, or I'm not going to bother playing again, honestly.
It's baffling to me that they haven't included any of these features. Have they played their own game?
Sorry for the rant, just really disappointed with this update.
