Dev have you set the target frame rate in your code? I find it wierd that your game takes up so much cpu. No issue running it but 30% for a static game isn't optimized. Setting the affinity to 1core drops the cpu to 10% so maybe disabling multithreading could help too

Hi, thank you for the kind words!
I’m aiming to release updates weekly (though I haven’t quite nailed that yet - once it was ~8 days, another time ~14)
In update 0_4, I wrote 50+ pages of text and created 20 images I’d love to add more images, and I’m working toward that!
You’ve probably noticed that I’m not making pure NSFW content. I’m trying to tell an immersive story that players can dive into and experience the emotions they’re seeking - or at least, I’m doing my best to make it that way!
Wow I am glad that you aren't making pure nsfw content. We have pornhub and stuff for that. But I am blown away by how fast you plan to release, weekly?? If you don't mind me asking, do you do this full time?Hi, thank you for the kind words!

Oh! Someone once mentioned high GPU usage, and honestly, I checked the profiler briefly but got distracted by creating content
Your comment is super helpful -now I know the app is also eating up CPU
I’ll definitely look into single-threaded mode that’s a great idea! Thanks, BRO!

Actually, it’s just a plan to release weekly
In reality, I work on various AAA games, but right now, I’m on a creative break/burnout, spending all day and night working on this game! Initially, I was creating NSFW allusions to Disco Elysium, but after building the foundation and a couple of levels, I got a bit tired and shifted my focus to this project!

And yet, I remember there were 20 photos- looks like I owe you 7 photos
Here’s the first one

I try again. CTRL... CTRL.... all this kind of game skip with CTRL. Use it :-DI just realized that many people play using a mouse, while I only implemented the quick message skip with the spacebar
I like the kind of game really, I want more, but with more choices and differents way
There is a great potential behind!

SamGoodwin I am always happy about new Games, but 2 really Important things here. Make the Player Namable, the "Mr.Player" is horrrrrible! and 2nd, Give us a way to make it just run faster, not always having to press a ke. At least the first is absolute must
And more of a advice then a "must", make content timegated, never paywalled, never helps, but your decision in the end

SamGoodwin I am always happy about new Games, but 2 really Important things here. Make the Player Namable, the "Mr.Player" is horrrrrible! and 2nd, Give us a way to make it faster... even considering that I am playing the first time and therefore reading everything I am sitting there between messages waiting... I read way faster then the messages get there... Those two are absolute musts!

Hi there! While it’s possible to skip messages by pressing spacebar/enter, it seems like I need to improve that feature further. As for changing the name “Mr. Player!” - I actually reworked that function twice, and it finally works as intended! (In the messenger, there’s a little pencil icon next to your name where you can type in “Mr. Silwith”)
I definitely need to get better at UX. Thanks for the feedback!

I see you’ve been on the forum since July 22, 2017, and this is only your second message ever. The fact that my work inspired you to write this second message is incredibly touching - thank you so much!

The pencil icon to change the name is nice, but maybe one of the earlier messages should be from the lawyer telling us, since we've received a new phone, that we can change our name with the pencil icon? Also, perhaps the default name shouldn't be "player", but an actual name. Something simple like "John", "Lee", "Mark", or "James"?Hi there!

A native tutorial? I’ll have a chat with my inner demons about that one
