Trying to play this on JoiPlay,
For some reason I get an error when I try to save.

Line 382 in 00action_file just says (return false)

Code: 
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 382, in __call__

Using the full version (3 part dl via pixeldrain) and Brandy Mod,
Works on the patreon version of JoiPlay,
Well at least saving works haven't fully tested yet.

Out of curiosity, how can it be that a game that weighs 9G goes on to weigh 900mb without losing quality appreciably? What are developers doing wrong to drop those monsters when their game can run perfectly at 10% weight?

Perception of quality is everything. If you play @1152x864 and it be perceived as fine but you zoom that 900mb version to uhd or higher resolutions you will perceive a drop in quality compared to the original; a few examples could be but not limited too clothes to skin edging, whites on colors (eyes) and small detailed objects (background objects). I am not supporting one way or the other, just tossing out realistic scenarios here.

it's missing part 2 and 3 and you get whole ~10 gigs by starting extraction on part1.

tldr: Artists DGAF

3D rendering software often outputs 32-bit (or even 64-bit!) PNG files with alpha channel and minimal compression as that is closest to what the native image format is. It is extremely wasteful but the authors of the software never intended for that to be the final distribution format, only an intermediary to be used in further processing. Converting to 24-bit PNG with max compression alone can save 40% of the size but artists don't really care to understand the technology beyond "does it look pretty?". Instead of optimizing they just copy+paste directly from the rendering program (often DAZ3D) into renpy. Sometimes they'll spend some time in Adobe Photoshop for a filter and some color correction but again they'll just use whatever default format settings photoshop gives them (or use jpg and completely fuck the image).

In AAA game studios there are sometimes dedicated technical artists that go around optimizing other artist's work so it's actually usable because this issue is very, very common.

So would it be like going from lossless to lossy compression?

same or near same quality but less size. when game gets to 10 gigs and still some updates left it doesn't look good.
