This game is getting so big that it would make sense to make an official, compressed version. No Ren'Py game should be 4+ GB, not even with video. It's a sign of bad optimization. It is totally unnecessary to have practically uncompressed images/videos in a game.

If it wouldn't have any compression it would be way bigger than 4.something GB. :rolleyes:

I've started playing that one at the last version... I fell bad about some dialogs with Fiona, if you choose Fiona dom route you will be treated like shit, if you choose the sub one you treat her like shit sometimes... Why theres no love route with Fiona? Thats sad... Shes a nice character, she looks like one that need to be protected...

Judging by the Changelog I would assume that this update focuses more on those who followed the route of sharing/whoreing out someone to the massage/brothel place. Am I correct?

serkan34 PUT ERRORS SCREENSHOTS BEHIND SPOILERS!!!

also easier and faster to attach traceback.txt to your post than take screenshot and post it here.

Maybe. I haven't conducted a test.
But it is still relatively low in compression ratio. If you take a look, you'll see that the compressed version is well under 1 gigabyte. And you have to look pretty hard to notice the extra compression (on a 1080p monitor).

You also need to consider that a lot of users here actually require compressed versions due to their internet quality/measurement. And it would be better of the compressions were official, right?

The dev uses webp format for the renders, so thats already a huge chunk of size less than it would be with png's.
Can it be compressed further? Always but you have to keep in mind that it is the dev's business and if he isn't happy with how it looks when it's further compressed, it's his choice. Sure a official compression is always better because a dev will most likely pay more attention to the quality, but like i said if thats the lowest he is willing to go you have to live with it and the unofficial compressed version.

Your reasoning that it would be barely visible is not the best argument to make since most people who frequent this site and play these games don't see the difference between low quality and high quality most of the time either way.

I just go to check the images folder of the game. The actual release have 12 124 renders for 4.7 GB. For me is a really nice job. I have lot worse than that. I see game to the same size with under 1 000 renders.

I can name (but i do not do it by respect) a game with under 5 000 renders having a size of 15 GB.

What is the size this game as supposed have to be for people stop complain about this? On my side, nothing to complain.

Haven't downloaded the latest update, but read the changelog. It says in there that it is/was possible to take 1 or 2 girls to RM? I only saw one instance... I believe it was "Quinn" (it's been a while since I played) I chose to give her info to Evelyn to become a model. Did I miss the 2nd one or is it in this update?

Yeah i know how many renders are in there.

There is not only one game that has way worse compressed content, lets just think about all the first releases with 1-2GB size. :LUL:
