Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1]

[MarsUltor]

You can maybe say it when there are no more "still working on it" lines. It's far from that.

Fair point, but the truth of it is we just don't know.

It is conceivable that, given today is November 2nd, the beta of v0.4.0 *might be* turned over to the testers by the end of November. OTOH, *if* there is a bit of content that isn't on the content list yet that Darkhound is just starting on now (not likely to be much if any at this point), or if it takes longer than expected to complete the "still working on it" bits, or if life gets in the way of Darkhound working his HI magic, then the beta wouldn't go to the testers until sometime after that.

Zapallbugs may be right, or Norb may be right (or they both might be mostly right), or maybe I don't know what the hell I'm talking about . . .

I got this reply from Darkhound on Patreon:

' The scope of the release 0.4.0 is more or less set and done. I don't want to drag the release out forever. It's even possible that I will postpone some of Brenda's not finished scene upgrades and put them in a 0.4.1.'

To me that indicates he has some date in mind by when he wants to get 0.4.0 finished. He is even prepared to skip stuff that is not done by then.

You just reinforced my main point; namely, that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about (and also reinforced one of my supporting points, that late(ish) November beta testing is conceivable, and perhaps probable, based on your inside information).

It takes a big man to admit...

sorry couldn't resist - one of my favorite all time lines.

How is that even possible? Do you run Windows 95 or something?

Looks like you are running out of memory. I had the same issue (although with a 4GB machine). Put in some more memory and problem gone. So easy solution, put in more memory. If that is not possible look to save memory somewhere else, eg close some other apps that use a lot.

Don't think so i've 12G ram i'm running games like DMC 5, naruto Storm 4, DB Fighterz, i mean even DMC 5 does no consume 6gb of ram XD even though i play with HSR farming in auto :'v so i pretty sure that my ram is no the problem, the same happened 1 year ago, I hoped that by now it would be better optimized.

Meh. Modern. The first 6502 I touched just had a keyboard and nothing else. Buying ROM-basic to it was $$$. Same age group as you I guess.

The fact you have 12GB does not mean that HI gets it. Somebody else may be eating it. I can run HI fine on 8GB (W10 22H2) machine when I kick out the worst memory hog (MS Teams).

Mine got better after getting FC3, my brother hate it cause he always wanted to play and i started to take a look into assembler (but he loved it when i removed the copy protection of the games).

Brenda's anniversary appointment (0.4.0 preview)

Hello everyone,

this is a small preview of Brenda's anniversary appointment at the MC's room.
They sit on the balcony, talk and have a glass of wine, before things get more interesting back inside the room.
The new scene is quite long and reuses a couple of her already existing appointment renders.
But that's not all! Not by a long shot. There are 28 new images and a big surprise is waiting.

Enjoy the preview,darkhound1

The fact you have 12GB does not mean that HI gets it. Somebody else may be eating it. I can run HI fine on 8GB (W10 22H2) machine when I kick out the worst memory hog (MS Teams).

I don't know if you know this (sarcasm) but the task manager tells you how much ram an app/game consumes and it tells me that HI is consuming 6GB, it starts at 1GB but when it reaches 6GB the game freezes and I have to close it and re open it, so i pretty sure that is not RAM issue

I don't know if you know this but the task manager is usually wrong. The issue is not what task manager says some application is using, but who/what is using the rest. Freezing is one of the main symptoms of not getting the required memory. The fact that you see it consistently happening at 6GB indicates you hit some limit there. Use some other tool (the Windows built-in Resource Monitor is not that great but will often do) to find out where all the memory went.

Edit: also look into graphics memory. Most GPU's these days use dedicated memory, but some when running out just grab main memory. And that is something you can't see with the task manager.

Yeah... I had an Atari 400 with a "tactile keyboard", a port for inserting ROM program cartridges (mostly games, but some other apps, too), and a cassette tape drive for external storage:
