To be honest, I’m just bored and that was my attempt at a troll. I was really hoping for an angry response.Ha I think it's the most popular question in this thread actually but no as she is not a love interest.

No, Nikki is not a love interest just a catalyst for the story she is not the end goal.I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but will there be an option for the MC to end up with Nikki?
Are you asking how to get the images from the game? You can't just open the images folder?anyone have a zip file for the images? i cant extract them
Speak for yourself! Some of us prefer uncompressed versionsSumodeine I think it's time to start compressing your images. Uncompressed pngs suck. High quality jpgs or webps are much better.
You'll have to forgive my utter ignorance, but I can open the files butwhen I open the .png files my viewer says the format is unsupported (it normally opens .png without an issue)Are you asking how to get the images from the game? You can't just open the images folder?

Odds are, the crunched version is using webp compression, to then view them, you will need to codec for that if you want to open them in another program. It is not a very well supported format, since it is still in the alpha stages.You'll have to forgive my utter ignorance, but I can open the files butwhen I open the .png files my viewer says the format is unsupported (it normally opens .png without an issue)
I do have a crunched version of the game though. Is that the problem?
goobdoob One thing you have to remember is that I'm not bright. In fact, I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to most of this stuff.Are you asking how to get the images from the game? You can't just open the images folder?

To be fair, I would be happy with the original Daz output image, I wouldn't be too happy asking you to upload them all though!goobdoob One thing you have to remember is that I'm not bright. In fact, I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to most of this stuff.
Keeping that in mind, I render in Daz and it spits out a big .png image (usually 4-9MB each). I then use Pngyu Image Compressor to compressor those png images (down to 600KB-1MB each), for the standard version of the game.
After that, for the Crunched Version, I crunch those down using bas's Crunching Tool to further compress them (down to 200KB-500KB each).
Can you ELI5 what I could/should be doing differently?
Well, I know a lot. See, I'm a "coder". It says so in my avatar!goobdoob One thing you have to remember is that I'm not bright. In fact, I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to most of this stuff.

Those points don't matter anymore, they kind of faded away into obscurity although acting like a dick will still end badly.What D and G mean in the walkthrough and how do they work?
Also this is probably an exercise in futility by now considering I searched the thread... but could someone be so kind to post an updated walkthrough / guide?
Awesome, man. Thank you. I'll give this a shot for the next release. I'll PM you when I fuck everything up ;-)Well, I know a lot. See, I'm a "coder". It says so in my avatar!
Seriously, though, I am NOT an image manipulation guy. But I'd suggest a slight alteration to your flow.
Since you're already using bas 's cruncher, try this. Instead of running Pngyu, copy the uncompressed PNGs in, then run cruncher. In the cruncher .bat file, there's a line that says something like this:
set "command-var="%CD%\Cruncher-x64\cwebp.exe" "%%a" -q 85 -z 6 -mt -o "%%~dpa%%~na".temp."
Make a copy of the bat file, and change the "-q 85" to "-q 100" in the copy. Don't use this line; just change to the number after -q in the original line to 100.
This will set the webp quality to 100, the max. It won't compress as well as 85, but the quality will be near indistinguishable from an uncompressed png. You'll get a higher size than the crunched version you do, but probably lower than with Pngyu, and the same image quality.
If you also want to make a (further) crunched version, run the original bat file.
In subsequent releases, to save time, you could make a new "game" with just the new images from the version you're working on, say call it newmsmr. Then make newmsmr\game\images and put the new images in that. Run the cruncher with quality 100 on it. Then copy the new images into the game you want to release, crunch that at 85, and be happy.
Of course, test this flow first, on copies.
