I remember the first few days of this game's release. I'm happy for the dev to receive so much love from people here. Prior to chapter 2's release, never ever there's a game that already had close to 300 pages of discussion. Hope this game will continue to grow.

Not sure how complicated it is, but you can try and used overlays for scences with minimal changes. Might (probably) be more coding complex, but certainly would cut size down.

In Heavy even a minor mouth movement (talking) is a whole extra picture (for just two mouth positions). With an overlay (or whatever Renpy calls it) you can just do the mouth portion assuming the camera doesn't move. A tiny mouth picture that gets put overtop of the original picture.
Cure my Addiction uses that on a massive scale. For clothing, talking, animations etc.

Unren (found here) will unlock the pics if you want to check it out. Not sure if a special tool or Ren mod is need to do that type of overlay, or how much work is required. But certainly cuts down a huge number of full pics that might be needed for animations or minor choices/thread differences.

Something to think about.. AFTER you take your long deserved rest :)

Edit: Doh. Well after looking at the game images, see text clips which are overlays to the main screen, that should have clicked. But the same usage can be used for area animations on the same background. So small mouth change pics overtop a full screen pick to animate the mouth for example. Saves a buch of full pics (applies to clothing, arm hand movement or any small change where the camera remains static).

Heavy Five's first chapter is the perfect example of how a game should start. It might seem quite simple at the beginning, with maybe a few choices, and BAM, you get the hints panel and you discover you missed almost everything :D
Don't be too shy and try clicking on everything during free roam. Also, these dames *do* have personality, take it into account to progress ;)
And don't forget to open your PDA for hints and bits of lore :)

300 pages for one chapter does seem a little crazy. When I think about it, 95% of my own posts here are found in this thread... And I have no regrets :D

Ahhh, Sarah. I knew she'd jump to my top list eventually. She wore me down.

Her personality has nothing to do with being cheated on, if you read certain things she's always been badass.

You won't be seeing a submissive Chris, like ever.

She has a romance path but that's as close as you'll get to her softer side.

i went the romance route..methinks there will be equality and hard hard sex..and threesomes with other dames as Chris is...FUN!
Chris is awesome and now is where I struggle.

Sarah kinda creeped up on me. I thought she was okay in the first one but Annie carried that episode then this episode happened....

Sarah and Chris are kinda awesome. I'd totally put those 2 together and dive in the middle to make an Ava sarnie.

Notty's fault ... making likable characters, how mean. HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE. Ooooooooh ... space harem?

Did you bother reading anything?

Military has ranking, Annie is a subordinate, relations aren't allowed. Chris is the same rank, telling her to fuck off would likely land the MC in the shit.

It's a build up, obviously not for you.
