What's frustrating is that he's supposed to be working on adding features and improving the code to make the game more smooth. I was surprised when it turned into him just adding girls again. I'd expect after Wanda that he focuses his efforts on just the game itself.
From 1.6 changelog
"Ok, this one's coming in hot. Seriously, don't bother with this build unless you like to bug test, because if this one works smoothly, it's a miracle. Not only is a new girl being added, which always includes areas where I forgot to update some function or other, but I also did some rather significant "under the hood" changes that will hopefully make the game run a bit faster overall, but might cause some other issues.
Relationship event system changes. It used to be that all characters would be checked to see if they wanted to do a relationship event (ie confessing love for you, or something like that), every time you moved around anywhere. I made some changes to instead only make this check once per time block, and then activate the event where appropriate. On the player side, this should not be a massive difference, but might hopefully speed scene loading up a bit.
I finally figured out how to use a different mechanic to display characters, and have at least partially implemented it. If it works out, I plan to do a bit more, and I'm not sure what difference it might make on your end, but it can simplify some stuff on mine, so I'm very excited."
From 1.6e changelog
"It should prevent
one cause of Out of Memory issues, which would occur in open spaces like the pool or campus when it would try to add more than a few girls into the background. These areas should now cap out at three in the back. There are other reasons people are encountering OoM issues, and I don't have much I can do directly to solve these. After this build settles down, I want to try a "debug" release that will not contain any new content, but will have certain options that might or might not help, and people who are experiencing these problems could see if anything helps."
I'm the first one the say when Oni's fucking up, but we have to admit he is working on the code, features and smoothness.
As we've all said before, he should focus on the art and have someone do the coding, and that's not happening anytime soon.
