Komisari you have officially become my favorite game developer ever.
No other developer responds to fan-simps this well or quickly.
Edit: I wasn't really happy with my "Lucy halo" but now I realize just how shitty it looks
could someone share his last save please? I already completed the game but I dont want to repeat all game u know.. thanks.

The big part of some of problems is me, I may have been overreact a little. It doesn't concern you but i couldn't last a few months enough so i can be a little beyond endurance. I hope, You improve your game further.
I understand you want a huge update before updating this game. Could we have a quarter of it because not all of us have mb downloads. Some of us would be happy with a quarter of this big update. Maybe update a character at a time or the mechanics first. Just something so we can enjoy more of this great game.
Thank you, there is a great improvement in the next update. Whenever its available, please, try it.
Hello! I'm working with someone to make an updater, so; you would only have to download the changes and not all the game everytine there's an update. That's great for both users that need a quick fix in their game or people who have slow downloads.
I wanted to try for the uploader to maybe download only specific parts of the game. For example; Downloading prologue, then chapter 1 and etc.
But that would require me to change completely how HHG works. Its not just images with dialogues, there are systems working together in those images and dialogue, so, for now people will need to require to download the full game. I'm sorry

Really? That's odd. Why is that?The Web Updater works only for Renpy games with less than 2GB size
I have no idea. I've talked with Renpy dev with that, but when trying to apply the web updater to my game gives an error. He says it's because it's big in size, and 2GB is the maximum IIRC

That's bizarre. 2GB isn't really all that big at all. And I can't think of an obvious reason why it shouldn't work like the Android size limit due to filesystem issues. Do you happen to remember what the error was?

Well, yeah, 2GB isn't really that big (relatively speaking) but that's the maximum. So it all depends on when you think sizes do get too large.

I can't immediately think on why for the limit, unless it keeps the whole archive on RAM (Python is unkind to using more than 2GB RAM at once).
Not adler32, tar, zlib, requests library and probably not zsync either, and I don't think Apache or Nginx have such limit either, so it is likely something non-obvious.
(ZSync is the trick, actually, and also why the http restriction, see

EDIT: Found your message on Ren'Py Discord (I never check that one...), the error was "CalledProcessError" and it was zsyncmake returning a generic failure error (exit status 1). The problem isn't being over 2GB, it might be given zsync was originally made for 32-bits plataforms (like the computer you used in 2005).
I'm a bit busy to try to do it completely, but just in case, I tried something similar to what failed you but using zsyncmake 0.6.2 for Linux (and a debugger).
(moin.tar.gz is a quick compression of the game folder, similar to what Ren'Py is supposed to make before running the specific command)
TL;DR Apparently NO ERROR ─ CANNOT REPRODUCE. It worked in a controlled environment without errors, so it might be Windows-specific, or something failed earlier on, or the version shipped with Ren'Py has some bug, or you were running low on RAM that day, but in either case Web Updater is supposed to work.
Might be worth trying again and using Ren'Py Launcher instead of command-line. Can't do that now/today, though.

Mmm... I might try again, I used both Renpy launcher and command line. I think the Renpy dev gave me the command line thingy after I tried the renpy launcher multiple times and freeze.
We'll see, I remember he said there was a maximum or something like that. Or maybe I'm dumb.
PD: IIRC I had way less ram at that moment, I now have 32GB so I will definitely try again!
