VN Unity Out of Touch! [v3.65.2] [Story Anon]

[Niraeza]

True, thats why i said it doesnt matter.

Its getting slowly more and more animated scenes but i would just wait in your position until they are all animated.

That's the plan. I expect it'll be a long while, though a part of me does feel like it won't happen or will only partly be finished because once the story is done, the backtracking to animate will become secondary to another main project and is a lot of work in of itself and could cause the dev to drop the idea altogether.

That's the pessimistic side of me speaking though, so I'll remain hopeful for the best outcome.

Past few chapters feel like I accidentally turned Google search back into safe mode lmao

I love the story, but will the lewds come back? How many chapters are left till the end?

 

[soyuyuka]

49 chapters until the end. 51 is the climax of first part of the story.

 

[Antosha]

Dayum.

 

[Kalkrion]

Kieran has been the main reason why I have continued waiting for every update, I feel incredibly vindicated in this moment.

 

[BlackDays]

I don't know if it has come up already, search function here is lacking pretty much,...

So soyuyuka and Story Anon, don't you think it might be time for a "Last time on OOT" feature in the game, every now or then? (or evereytime?)
Three months is a lot to remember what happened last time, and i even have trouble remembering if it's only a month.
Would be a nice qol feature.

What are you talking about man, there are already very helpful recaps in between arcs.

Mate, if they were, i think i'd remember them better.
Besides, i'm not talking about some mentioning here and there.
I'm talking about a sophisticated ingame FEATURE.
For example like how "Harem Hotel" does it.

There are recaps. They are very helpful and accurate and you should read them.

Yeah you're right. I even forgot those. But those haven't come up in ages, not?
Also, they are part of the ingame story (meaning you won't see them unless you replay).
They are, as far as i know, not a feature outside of the story.
And i think i/we need that.
An unlockable option to see "story so far" in the main menu.

 

[ReservoirCreature]

Insofar as we've been on the same arc for almost a year at this point. Chapter 52 will probably start with another recap.

Minor gripe with latest release, if you mute the voice channel the music audio still dips in volume for each voice file to be more audible, at least that's what i assume is going on, so without the voice audio on it sounds like some kid is turning the music volume knob up and down with ever click, might want to code some detection in there for that cause it's a pretty awful experience for such an important cinematic scene.

Edit: ugh, it just keeps happening, it's absolutely awful, i'd have the voices on except i read far faster than they talk and so as i click through they all get cut off part way, and that's how i've always enjoyed this game, i don't want to change that, it's not an improvement for me, muting them should be ok, but as a consequence i have to put up with this constantly fluctuating music volume... please Story Anon, please find a solution to this for future releases.

@soyuyuka is your contact person for technical things.

You're an idiot. RenPy is significantly worse and also doesn't support neither XYB colorspace JPEGs nor JXL (which new OoT runtime will support whenever it comes out). And nothing would stop someone from compressing this game, all assets are in the open in desktop versions, there is just no fucking point. It's 42.5k images, I already compressed this game to a limit without losing quality. And splitting the game would serve no purpose other than confusing people (we get question "do I need to download all installers?" for android version daily despite having install instruction). The only thing that can be compressed more is videos but that would be at the cost of significantly higher hardware requirements to play videos smoothly.

splitting it would absolutely help in making it so people don't have to download a 12gb game just to find out they don't like it

hits SO MUCH HARDER after playing ch 51, holy shit.

@Bingoogus Was already reported on discord, I will fix for next release, this is likely a misconfiguration of a sidechannel compressor in mixer (it should only activate when there is something audible in voice channel, if you turn it all the way down it shouldn't activate). But also if you turn off voices you will miss voice over on video, I will probably need to add text on video support, that wasn't something I knew about.
