Except for some things on the right side that are white in the png and dark in the jpg, I can't tell the difference. At all.
Good catch! There's actually a problem with the 3D assets I used in this scene, which meant that some parts of the image where the asset was "missing" became transparent to a varying degree. PNGs support transparency, so you're probably seeing white because that's how your image viewer (or browser) decides to handle that. For the JPG, I've already manually fixed the problem by turning transparent sections of the image black.

So as an example of differences between the two formats, that was just about the worst image I could have picked.

Have you thought about using webp? Better compression than jpeg at the same quality. Lossless might be better than the jpeg compression you're currently using, and would satisfy the folks who can see the difference.
I've heard it mentioned but don't see much of a need. The game is already small enough, and replacing the image format at this point would be an absolutely punishing amount of work (with a large potential for bugs) for little real gain.

If you and your patrons are happy with the size, there's no need to do anything. At 414 megs for the Mac version, I certainly can't complain!

But, in the future if you want to change, setting up a script to call cwebp (the free webp converter from google) is really simple.

And along that line, if you have all the original pngs still, someone else could do the batch convert for you on the original images and deliver them in a format where you could just drop them back into the game, with the appropriate codec, and no one would be the wiser, except the images would be better.

That's life these days though.....take, take, take with no give or even appreciation. Besides if you can't play without a walkthrough are you really playing? I can understand using one to help with tough spots but just blindly following a walkthrough just seems blagh to me.
What would be awesome would be game help à la the ... (no not volunteering as tribute)

@Belle You said its obvious that Evelyn loves the MC and her dark secret is far darker then her feelings of incest but I have a suspicion that its more a mix of guilt/love.

I may be totally wrong but I get the feeling she knows far more about how and why the MC has all this hidden knowledge and who locked it away. Like the MC has been prepared for a long time for the path he is now walking and this was not a voluntary assignment.

Webp isn't a default though; so it may break for some users.

Great game and renders, I wonder if the fairy Belle is created to look like the creator?... Except the wings part. ;)

And also thinking to myself if such a game can be done without a walkthrough... Or there's some hints inside I've passed by?

Ren'Py handles webp. If someone can't open an individual image file he or she can install the webp codec. Anyone who can figure out how to unpack the rpa can figure out how to do that, or ask how.

Why does the MC blush when he has an erection? When that much blood rushes to your penis your face will go pale, not flushed. I'm surprised this isn't common knowledge, because schoolgirls told me this was how they knew guys (including me) were getting an erection in class.

That's a load of BS, mate. A typical adult has about five litres of blood, roughly 60% of which is stored in veins, and the average penile erectile volume is about 30 millilitres, which means that there's plenty of blood left and erection itself most certainly does not cause changes in facial perfusion.

this new update is focused on what character?

I love this game.. but i stopped playing a while ago because trying no to get cucked by sis made the grind VERY hard.. and those scenes were sooo bonner killer to me.. So i always avoid them.. IN this case, it was too hard.. there was no WT at the time for a non cucked path... I duno if it was even implemented at the time.

sry but that's utter bs since the difference are only a few copper. working one time either for prim or callie gets you the diff right off the bat and, sry but if you need a walkthrough when the game very clearly is giving you the option to interfere, then you should probably stop playing games and stick to kinetic novels/comics/vids
people are complaining again and again how "unfair" that part of the game is/was but know what? no one is forcing anyone to play the game. you don't like it or a part of it? don't play it! plain and simple

Yeah, you can put a stop to that by intervening just once. All you lose is the few coins once a week which is nothing. When you finish the chain with the dryad you can get 20 coin a day so it is really a non-issue to not get that little bit of coin.

lmao.. chill dude.. I never said it was unfair or anything like that.. Duno where you got that from xD.

All i said, is that i was following the WT and not following that path made me confused since it messes with the WT.

And i never said i didnt knew i could interfere with it.. in fact, i DID interfere with it.. that what made the days listed in the WT to come in the wrong order... Thats not a BIG issue.. its just that i Didnt want to bother trying to figure it out lmao.

Jesus.. Guy came out ready for a fight with the wrong person LMAO.

Completly crazy.
