As for your patches, those actually alter code, compression does not unless somebody does so for some reason, but both are capable of producing error messages.
Thanks for knowing my patch better than myself.:ROFLMAO:
If I would have alter code, I can guarantee I would know that. But I am a lazy bum and don't change code if I can work my arse around that.

Yes, it does come with the same risks, too much compression and the game will cease to operate entirely.
Let me get this straight: Compressing picture can break the game?
Sure.:rolleyes: Anyone up to the challenge to compress this game way behond the threshold of ugly mess of images. If doing this, then the game certain will be faulty as hell.

I'm out of this topic.:censored:

It isn't what you did, it is what it does. That's what a patch is in programming talk, a piece of code that alters the code of the host program, even if just temporarily like the patches that are needed for content not allowed here. Remove them and the content isn't there, put them in and the content is there. It alters already existing code, usually a flag in the code set to false without the patch.

Yes, compressing images can break the game. That doesn't mean it WILL, it just means that can happen. Compression means changing the underlying properties of an image and doing that enough changes the underlying properties enough that they are either no longer recognized as the image needed or are no longer in a format the game can handle. Renpy can't handle every media format, no program can, nor can it handle every codec used in every file type, again no program can. Some file types are incompatible as are some codecs used on the same file type, for example an MP4 that was made using the h.264 codec would be compatible with Windows Media Player, but an MP4 that was made using VP9 may not be, keep in mind this is just an example and does not reflect actual compatibility.

I mean, if I understand your question correctly, you're basically just asking if you can put your game up on Patreon/Subscribestar/Buy Me a Coffee? And you seem to be worried about it, because you're uncertain about trying to monetize something you created while using another program?
Sure you can; you wouldn't be the first, nor the last. Plenty of people have projects up on Patreon that use programs like Honey Select and DAZ. Using a program like that to make your product doesn't violate any licence or copyright law. Provided you don't include any illegal stuff in your game, like underage characters engaged in sexual behaviour, and your storyline, characters and coding aren't blatantly plagarised, you're good to go (and even then, you might be covered by fair use exemption if it's parody, rather than theft).
I'm not a lawyer, but using a programm to make content like Honey Select 2 Studio would have their own software license agreement. Based on this, in my eyes, would depend what they allow or not. Same goes for Ren'Py, but in my understanding Ren'Py is FOSS software, were Honey Select 2 Studio isn't, yet both have their terms.

What actual content you make (eg. a Star Wars mix) and what of that is allowed or not, would depend on the actual case and how they handle such things and a lot, lot more.
Also we have over 193 nations and depending where you are, it would be different.
Thank you all so much for providing very informative matters about my question. I learned so much. I wish you all the best for your kindness in helping me sate my curiousity :)

A goal which, if we don't do this right, will fail and it will be the length of an elven lifetime if it ever succeeds. We still have no idea what will happen down the road, including any immediate threats to the elves. We need to plan for those ahead of time, preempt them so we already have a plan in place if they happen, including the potential 'If I can't have them' scenario once we inevitably back the slavers into a corner. You know what they say about cornered rats, right?

We don't have much choice but to factor it in even if only as a potentiality, the elves are in an unfavorable position and we need to plan for the possibilities that come with that. Here's the issue, we have no current evidence of what is going on right now, we only have evidence of what already happened. We don't know if there are breeding farms or not. I'm not acting as if it is fact because I am acting on a potential future, something nobody can predict 100% accurately. We need to be prepared for the worst and hope that we encounter the best.

As I said, a war may be the only option that gets us a full victory. Otherwise, we may take some losses before we can save them all. I'm not saying go complete US vs Japan on them, we know how that one ended and it wasn't pretty, but we need to be prepared to take drastic measures in case the political process proves too slow.

Unfortunately, yes, though it may be fortunate for us if we find enough people stupid enough to rely on social media.
Which is why we need to start small, and use any help we can get.

It is just as much of a potential outcome as a breeding program, that helps them outnumber us. Preparing for the worst here, would be to start a breeding program, if there is any indication that their population is going down. What I am saying is that if we do get some indication of that being an issue, we have a bunch of ways to correct it, it's not really worth concerning ourselves over.

That is the thing, they are there, waiting to be found. The only thing we would need, is a few interested people, and a good VPN system to hide their locations. Set up a bunch of fake accounts, and start sending out posts. For a silly example, check out the South Park episode,'Franchise Prequel'. Butters sets up a company to trash the other boys on Facebook, even hiring Mark Zuckerberg to protect him. Kali's step-mom could get people, we could get elves, Vanessa's friends, etc...

And what I'm saying is small may mean it is too late further down the line to do anything and still hope to liberate them.

Preparing for the worst isn't starting a breeding program, no, that's preparing for the worst on THEIR side. Preparing for the worst on OUR side means being ready to take immediate and decisive action to liberate as many elves as possible. This can mean being prepared to get our hands dirty.

Or we could get a mix of the three. A cyber campaign would definitely be of great assistance in trying for a peaceful solution, but we still need to be prepared to go the other direction if necessary.

still waiting for compressed version
The main version is already as compressed as it is going to get without having problems ranging from quality loss on a large scale to issues with the game actually running, including errors while playing.

Well, starting small, doesn't mean we will stay small, once our work starts to pay off, and people start buying into it, we can ramp it up quickly. We do have a lot of backing after all.

While I do want to liberate as many as possible, we only have one reasonable way to do that right now, buy them ourselves. Unless we want to send them to the Desert or High elves, they would just end up back in the system again. Every slave Nia/Sui saves, goes right back into the system, to find a new master, hoping that they get one that is nicer than the last. She doesn't really 'free' anyone. Most of the ones she saves are from illegal slave owners and really abusive assholes that are breaking the law, she doesn't actually free them.

Cyber campaign, radio, TV, movies, and any other way to spread rumors and 'news'.

Just think about it... (off the top of my head...)

Jia and Grace - a show we can start making once we marry Jia, and it can show the two of them living together, and Jia can start to show that she is not useless without a human, like the campaigns they have going now, but she is the one who is always helping the bumbling Grace out of her weekly jams...

Elfville - a story about an elf who was abandoned and found by a human couple who raised her as their own, but she had to hide her identity, or the authorities would take her away (this could also work with a half elf, who had their ears clipped... maybe even Maria). Not only do they get to see her struggles with trying to hide, but she could secretly go around saving people (maybe using her 'elf magic'). lol Could be like a magical girl anime.

The Greatest Sylvanian Hero - A human who works for the government, maybe a parody of Cornwall, and his slave are out in the middle of nowhere one day, when suddenly a spaceship comes down, and gives them a super suit. The human, being a dick, makes the elf try on the suit first, in case it is dangerous, and it bonds to them, so only they can use it from them on. The human then thinks he can use the elf to stop crimes, which he says includes saving elves that are being abused, so the slave agrees, even after learning they are super strong, fast, can fly, and all that in the suit, but it's hard to control (hilarity ensues). So, the human tries to get them to enforce their laws, but the elf starts to get more and more bold, and less willing to take orders as the story goes, all the while, they are helping people, while the human continues to be a bit of a jackass, showing the elf as the hero, who ignores orders when it means helping someone.

Could do like a funny soap opera parody, like Soap, where they have an elf butler, who is always fixing all of the dumb family's mistakes.

Could have a post apocalypse story, where the humans and the elves went to war, and almost everyone died. At this point, only a few people still care if you are human or elf, some old hatreds stay, but most people are just trying to survive, one day at a time. Mad Mia! The leather clad elf, with a bad attitude and a heart of gold.

An Archie Bunker parody, where the dad is a bigot, the mom is nice but conservative, and the teen-adult child and their boy/girl-friend are both abolitionists. This one could have Ashley's dad as the inspiration for the main character.

Luu Pin - A story of two elves (Luu and Pin) who are master cat burglars, and do some robin hood shit, go around helping orphans, and other poor kids.

Space Trek Wars - Taking place far, far in the future, a long, long ways away, elves, humans, and aliens, working together in their federation, battling the evil empire... bla bla bla... ;)

Starving Games - Elves, forced to fight for food, this is the story of one 'young' elf, trying to feed her sick mother, or whatever.

Similar Strokes - An elf slave dies, and her master 'adopts' her two children. The two kids could be based on Lin and Jin, "What'chu talkin' about, Jinny?!?!?"

Maybe 'The Elf Maid's Tale' - Another dystopian future, where most male elves are sent out to work, while all fertile females are kept pregnant at almost all times, as that is their only use, to make more elves and half elves. This story revolves around one elf maid, who learns that she is baron, and how much worse her life becomes once the word gets out. After she gets pushed around enough, she starts a revolution or some shit, or maybe it doesn't have a happy ending. That could also work to make people think, maybe she dies in the end, crushed by the system.

Ms. Android - An android ends up replacing a teacher at a school, originally she was just supposed to be a substitute teacher, but she does such a good job, and the kids like her so much, they keep her on full time.

The Elf-Files - Two government agents investigate strange cases, one of them always convinced that it is 'elf magic' that caused it, but in the end, it is always something mundane, and the elves were just a scapegoat.

The Toymaker - Use the web comic for yet another dystopian story.

Elf Park - A cartoon about 4 elf children, just being kids.

Mac, The Bounty Hunter - About a space bounty hunter, flying around in their armor, having fun... But, after a while, they take off the helmet, and there is an elf under there.

Need I go on? XD
Also anyone got a full save? reaalllyy just d oingg it for the gallery
The gallery if far from complete, it's better to play the game.

A lot of that has been redone, so it's worth doing. I would give you mine, but it's kind of broken. If you really don't want to play though, you can use the search feature, sort by date, and look, there are a number of them posted, some requiring the mod, others not.

i have started over more than 2x, once because i borked my game, and the other 2 because i wanted to see the updates, and i am very glad that i did so.

NOW UPDATED FOR 0.13 -

i got tired of looking for all the cheat codes, so i just made a (tiny) mod that replaces most of them and bypasses encryption.
unzip this file and put it in /game/scripts (create those folders if they don't exist)

You should also now get the proper notification for the code working or not

the new cheat codes are:

patreon1 = cheat mode on
patreon2 = cheatmode off
changename = change your name
elmarcomp = unlocks a drinking competition between Ellen and Maria at the bar, requires other triggers too
fixkali = use if kali is bugged at level 6 (only if using a save from before 0.5.3)
ifuckedlucy = You can now have sex with Lucia in Kali's room
spinningtv = violet joins the hotel (experimental) removed
sunlight = violet leaves
resetelves = resets all elf stats (except lin)
patreon3 = jump forward 10 days
patreon4 = $1000
patreon5 = jump to new content, with appropriate stats (I'm not 100% sure that these stats have been updated recently)
autumn = max autumn stats
felicity = max out all of Felicity & Emma's stats
bot = max out all of [botname]'s stats
maria = max out all of Maria's stats
ashley = max out all of Ashley's stats
kali = max out all of Kali's stats
lin = max out all of Lin's stats
bezos = $999,999
loveroute_nia = self explanatory
slaveroute_nia = self explanatory
loveroute_sylvia = self explanatory
slaveroute_sylvia = self explanatory
truestory = unlock incest
prime = ???
All I get is an error every time I try to load the game.
