however in my opinion, these animations made up of images that go in a loop, do not bring anything to the game except a slowdown

Let's be honest: animations are a waste of development time in all the VNs. No developer is skilled enough to justify animations, everyone just uses DAZ and the results are really "meh" compared to good animation done by skilled people dedicated only to that, using professional software like Blender or Maya. I would be fine with this "meh" level of animations if they were not so much time consuming for developers, as the contribution to the story is so tiny and forgettable. The problem is that there is a faction of annoying complainers when animations are missing. They don't give a fuck about quality but they want to see things moving. They miss porn videos. So we have a slow producer like Stoper that it notoriously prone to constant second thoughts, wasting time (and 1/3 of the total renderings) to make animations. Animations of a few second loops, and that's the same standard for everyone, even for stakanovist DrPinkCake and his massive PCs setup + massive budget.
But try to avoid animation, you'll get so many complains!
I think some people complain about lack of animations in books too.

all i get is a promotinal image of jessica wth instructions to support the dev , teres no game

If you want help, you should post some INFORMATIONS.
Operating system? 64bit I suppose? Error log? (it's in the root folder of the game). Have you checked if you downloaded the full game or it's corrupted, truncated? Have you tried to download from a different server?

Yes its 64 machine, there was error log, no problems with anti-virus. I downloaded the game from this site/sever using the mega website, unzipped the file, opened the main folder, clicked both the 'JOHN with a heart file' (the game), the game started no option to play the actual update, just a promotional image of Jessicia with a support the dev link to Patreon

I don't think they are a waste of time. Although if one was to focus on making a game with animations, I would suggest building the whole project in Blender instead of back and forth between Daz3d and Blender. Animations are fun and give energy to the story.

Is there a link for MAC compressed?

Is there a link for MAC compressed?

Did you search compressed?

 

[kazad73]

Sorry, probably I didn't noticed it, but found now, thanks!

Now it will take another year to know the aftermath of all this

Windows 10 or 11 I suppose. Because if you're on Windows 7 there could be problems with the latest renpy (I think). Open the error log, it should give you some information. I don't know what to tell you because everyone is playing it. I have not downloaded the game myself I'm waiting for the fixed release (should be posted very soon).
I could say: try to boot with a Linux live distro and try to run it (the .sh file), if it fails only on Windows something went wrong, maybe your antivirus quarantined some files. If it fails on Linux too, something got wrong in the download.

I mean you can make it yourself in a minute or two from the Win/Linux version with the SDK (or play it directly from the SDK), after all that is how I make every single Mac compressed version. No one has ever wondered how I have Mac compressed for games when there is no updated Mac or no Mac version at all provided by the dev?

You have to go to preferences https://f95zone.to/account/preferences and in search options mark 'most recent'. Then search 'compressed' in the search box of the thread.

I was hoping he would cum inside, but it was still a really good scene. I guess whoever said the Conner was the only one was mistaken after all. The train scene was interesting. It's very Japanese style hentai. It seems like a good start. Hopefully she will start opening up to having sex with lots of guys. It would be funny if Conner sleeps with her sister.

I found out today that I can run the Windows version through Steam and proton as a non Steam game today. I know that MacOS has Proton and perhaps it works with Steam there as well. For some reason it was crashing in Windows for me. It must not have liked the Nvidia driver I was using, Hyper-V that I had installed, or something else.

If you are using Hyper-V must mean you are running it in a Virtual Machine.

With the Ren'Py SDK you can build whatever platform you need and can also play the game directly from the SDK as well.

For the more tech savvy on here, just for talks sake, If I'm concerned about saftey, downloaded this updates exe files that possibly might be infected with anything, is it safer to extract the main game file to an external hard drive and run the game from there to protect my PC if there was a hidden rootkit or malware within these files or dose it not matter either way
