I'd go for a real map for my wall. I can already picture the conversations:
Person: Whassat?
Me: A map, as you can observe.
Person: Is that Australia?
Me: Uh, no, that's clearly Syl'anar.
Person: Whuh?
Me: You know, the former elven continent?
Person slowly backs away, exits the room and calls for an intervention

Being a weeb is hard.

Do you want a little elven slave as well?
Who doesn't?
Try explaining that to your family... :ROFLMAO:
Well, it's just another map... XD

Well, most of my friends and family know I am into fantasy games anyway, so 'I't's a map from a game'. lol It would go nicely next to my Abbey Road poster, opposite of the real world one. heh

BTW, I am so glad I have 2 saves for the elves- routes.
Its so nice to save often making use of the hundreds of empty spaces in the save menu.

My family disapproves of me liking "silly cartoons" and "childish video games", to the point where I'm under the impression they may be ancient high elves in disguise. Their favorite thing is TV, Sylvia would love them.
Would still get the map though.

She and Lin are my favorites.
I feel like she doesn't get enough love. She's hot, up for anything and helped the MC fuck Ellen!
Her independence probably rubs some people the wrong way I guess, but i thought it was great when she left the hotel.
Glad she came back though
I like all of the girls for different reasons, Maria partly for the reason you just gave. although my favoritism often leans towards Ashley and Lin. I don't like some characters more then others because comparing all of them against each other is like comparing pie's to cakes to cookies...etc. point is I think they are too different to do that effectively and because of that don't think anyone who plays this game actually dislikes any of the main girls. I guess its just hard for her to be a favorite because of her Barney Stinson architype. I do think in her own right she is legend...wait for it...you guys get it.

Elder Scrolls games come with maps. I want a TES map wall. Easier to explain than the HH map wall.

I'm wondering if the author will be doing this program in universal binary so that it will run on both Intel and the upcoming ARM Macs. As a bonus it should, in theory, make the android ports a little easier.

universal binary
AKA "fat binaries" - multi-platform binaries that are much larger than single-platform libraries. Can't speak for Runey but it would make distributions much larger and the community struggles with downloads that are in the current size range, so I can't imagine that this is going to get a lot of support.

The fuck? 99.9% of the game size is images and animations, a few extra megabytes won't make any difference to that!

The 'LIB' folder for Win/Linux games is about 70MB. My experience is that more, and bigger, libraries are needed for ARM support (at least initially) and that would balloon out to probably 3X, so around 200MB. Not a big deal to me, but people with very little storage or heavily-metered internet will probably feel the pinch. We've all seen people beg for even the most modest reduction in file sizes for these very reasons and that's the source of my earlier comment.

I'm not suggesting that it shouldn't be done, or at least trialed, but it would have to be built into Ren'py and a quick check of the Lemma Soft forums doesn't show any activity, multi-bin or otherwise, to port Ren'py to MacOS/ARM which itself is depenant on Python being ported MacOS/ARM. A quick check on the various Python Gits shows that the Python community is grappling with this and it probably will be mid-2021 before things are stable enough to start porting Ren'py.

Except the actual executable in the MacOS version is 2 kb as kilobytes with the lib Folder at 23.7 MB. The executable for the PC version is 102 kb (kilobytes). Is if we take the worst case (doubling the 23.7 MB) a fat Mac binary only adds 23.7 MB to, for the Mac, a 4.86 GB compressed five or 237/4860 of the current file size. That is 4.88%

"Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language with strong support on Arm. Since Arm processors are available in the cloud and at the edge, Python is a great choice for driving innovation in these environments." -
