i love it whenever people being reasonable - appreciate it, sir.
I didn't even expect "sudden changes", i just wanted to voice my personal view of things - but as it seems, my thoughts were not only mine XD.
About the memory usage: it happened to us too. We didn't even know that RenPy internally converts all images into RGBA bitmaps
.I man: who could even guess that a 300 kb render could end up with 8 MB in RAM? Normally, that's still no issue, if you use 1 render to show, maybe 2 on screen (1 as overlay). But as soon as you work with sprites, or if you use different assets on different parts of the screen at once, it might easy end into a RAM-mess.
It still can have different other reason, but if i would have to bet on one of them, this one would be my choice #1
Yea, it's an engine limitation. I already limit the number of frames I use per animation, and most Ren'Py games have short, looped animations anyway. Most devs do short animations because they are expensive to render, but the engine isn't great for longer animations anyway. I had a similar conversation but about game mechanics and player expectations, like 20 pages ago, and I concluded it would be better if I had started this game in Unity.i love it whenever people being reasonable - appreciate it, sir.

For the sequel, I'm experimenting with 8k downsampled to 4k frames and compressed at 99% webp format. Those frames are significantly smaller in file size (~75% reduction) than what I currently do, while still being higher in image quality/fidelity. Of course, the original source image for the frame has to be 8k, so vastly increased render times. I want to apply this technique strategically where it matters, such as on her animations while leaving the static backgrounds as regular 4k stills or 16k HDRI's (which are also pretty fast to render while still looking crisp).
About the unexpected progression, yea, I forgot I patched out the need for an x number of actions and took it out of the walkthrough as well. I had to delve into my source control to lift the requirements from earlier. I'll remove the need for (almost) all x actions to unlock y, since not everyone enjoys all the sexual activity equally. Only for fetishes do I want to "lock" the fetish behind some action. The idea is that you only need to do x actions if you enjoy them and want to continue on that path. This also smoothly opts in or opts out players who don't want anything to do with that fetish (example, if you want the wetworks fetish, you need to spy on her peeing first. If you never spy on her peeing, you won't even encounter the fetish you might not enjoy seeing or even hearing about).

How do you initiate cunnilingus, licking her?
I've done the beach scene, but not sure where the action is in the evening

I've been searching and waiting for so long for a new game that I can stick with for more than 10 minutes!! I love the concept. My computer lags a bit because the game uses a lot of resources, I think, but well... it's old. Anyway, my only regret – and it's often the same – is that I didn't discover it in its final version. Right now it's version 0.5... does that mean we're only halfway through the game??? It's a shame to be cut off and have to wait for updates. I'm really tired of that process, but oh well. Do we have any news about the full version and its release date? Thanks."
I update the game very frequently. In my roadmap post I stated that 0.50 is beyond the half-way point of a finished game and I use the other .50 to give myself leeway with how much extra content (sex positions, fetishes, new game+, etc) I want to add. That said, more of the good stuff is coming soon
A mid-term goal is to add a pregnant Imouto to the game as well, as in visibly pregnant.I went from school grade 53 to 0 on Friday night to Saturday Morning and lost my game...how do you even manage or adjust her school grade? talking to her about school?
Not for nothing, but what's the point of playing a porn or adult game, having to do all this to get to an erotic scene? I don't think this forum was initially created for this type of platform, which I assure you will be proven right later.
My game is invisible. All I see when I run the game is the mouse cursor and hear the music. Tried Shift + G and nothing happens. Also on AMD 5600 with a RX 6750 XT. Am I missing something?
Keep her fed, washed, clean-clothed and rested. Her school performance is influenced by these four. When school performance drops, her grades drop week by week. If you fix these issues before she gets a failing score, her grade will go up over time.
If she's an alcoholic, you'll struggle since she'll passively resist eating properly, sleeping and cleaning herself, but she can be rehabilitated.
Can you try holding the shift button while the game is loading? See if that brings up the menu.
