@darkhound1 First off great game, and looooving the renders, Hey just 1 thing I noticed I have the patch version DL from the op, but every time i get a close up or look closer the image quality is really bad, blurred/grainy like when you blowup/zoom in on a low res image, any suggestions how i can to keep at highest quality possible? or was the patch uploaded here maybe a crunched one? the size of the zip file i got was only 43.6 mb fyi.
Since I have no idea which version you downloaded, how am I supposed to give you a good answer?
There is a crunched version (or probably several different ones) and my original version. Since the files in my original version are already highly compressed, I always advice not to get the crunched version.
What I really love is the "every time" in your post. There are about 6.000 images in the game now. All newer renders are at least 1920x1080, all the newer ones that get zoomed in are at least 2560x1440. In the non crunshed version these surely are neither blurry nor grainy.
Earlier renders (which means still about 50% of the game) are only made in 1280x720. If you zoom in on them too much, you will get the effect you describe. Which can still vary depending on the screen and the perception of each person.
The game is made to be run in window mode (like all renpy games). The game resolution is 1280x720. So if you play it e.g. on a 4k screen in full screen mode, yeah sure it will look bad (even non close ups will look bad).
If you want a better answer, I need better information:
What scene/event are you talking about and what specific image? Easiest way for me to follow that is a description like:
When I'm with Faye at the gym and help her doing weight lifting...
Then MC says "Oh that's very nice!" and the image is zoomed in, it looks blurry.
I'm usig the original (non crunshed) version of the game.
