VN Ren'Py Completed Scarlet Spire [Final] [AlleyKat Games]

[CoffeeDrinker]

Is anyone else having a problem running Chapter 6?

When I ran Chapter 6 my anti-virus software went nuts and quarantined the executable. Chapters 1-5 ran just fine.

Anti-virus sometimes does that with Ren'Py. Renpytom has even mentioned it a few times. Just something stupid they do at times. I only use Windows Defender and had no issues. The bigger name ones tend to be pickier at times.

Pretty much any RenPy executable is indeed sometimes recognized as a virus, under certain conditions by certain Antivirii, like AVG. There is, of course, no virus in Scarlet Spire, this I can vouch as long as you're getting the game from either here on F95 from Uncle's post, or directly through Patreon. My best guess is the addition of an icon built inside executable that triggered it, which is the only difference in the exe itself compared to the earlier releases.

The solution is simple, adding the executable to the exception list of your favorite antivirus.

What do you think of when someone brings up porn? Sunsets and rainbows?

ADULT, not porn. Very different.

Here's the MAC version of the Ch6 release, both compressed and uncompressed format.
Note: We don't have the Mac at hand, so this release haven't been tested to fully work by us. There's no reason it shouldn't, but can't guarantee it will.

When someone brings up porn you think adult and not porn? I don't even know you and I know that's a lie lol

Then, two or three updates into the story, your character grows fur and a tail, while your ingame subject of desire gets scales and a one foot long forked tongue. Y

Sauce ?

I didn't think a lot of this game when the first few chapters passed by, but I played it to the end of Chapter 6.

You have me officially hooked. Excellent work.

Here's my crunched version.

Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make this smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no complaining.

What's different or special about yours? Since there is already an official one.

The official one is 581.19MB my turned out to be 117.53 MB.

So you were able to keep the quality of the music and images? That's a huge difference. With the amazing music in the game. I doubt that quality would keep with that type of compression. Not to mention the images. The official half a gig compressed looked and sounded great to me. I guess if someone doesn't care about the quality though, it wouldn't matter. I don't understand it myself.

i use a tool made by joint effort of bossapplesauce , Sam and GamingLord, it reduce the size of the game to help people who have slow internet speed or data limit.
so i am not sure how much quality is reduced but for me i don't really notice much difference, other then that i use f.lux on my screen so that also change colors.
when i download a game with huge size i compress it and upload for other users to enjoy the game with little and fast download.

I just hope the quality doesn't affect anyone's opinion on the original game from the devs. Seems like 581mb is reasonable in today's streaming/youtube/gifs world now. Making games aren't easy, even a VN. Seems like a lot to alter of the original work, just to shave a few mb's or minutes. The last AAA game I downloaded was 80gb. I don't even have great internet. Just have to wait sometimes. But, as I said, I don't really understand.

Hmm, if you have played the original, download my compressed version and play that then let me know what you think of the quality.
my point of view is that quality aside render/character/background gives the main idea what to expect of a game. for me i guess from seeing the renders i usually have a idea what the game will be like .

I did try it. That's the reason I'm asking so many questions. Sounded terrible compared to the official uncompressed and the compressed. The image quality would look bad on my fridge screen but, it was on my 27" 1080p screen.


It seems to me that this version is like the photocopied version of a book, preview in a newspaper. The only problem is that there are more than words. I have seen way more people complain on game threads about image quality and even music, which frankly is still not that common, which is why this game's unique and self-produced music is great.

Seems like the version from the dev would be the best way to know "what to expect of a game". After all, since they made it.

Again, I hope people think the way you do about it being a "preview". Just not the experience I have seen from people. Just seems unfair to the devs, any devs. Does help me understand why some do complain about quality when I see no issues. On many games.

Not sure why you're making such a big deal about it, it's just a compressed version for people with slower internet speeds.

Thanks AlleyKat for the response. Great game by the way

Mostly cause it's an inferior shittier version of the game. Personally, as a player quality matters to me but as a Dev it matters more. I know how much work and time is required to do even one good quality image. Not saying anything about audio quality. Which can be even more drastic. I find it highly unlikely that the lesser quality doesn't influence a person's opinion of the game. Usually the shittier the quality, the worse the opinion. Not much else I can say without repeating myself though. So here's a gif to finialze my thoughts on it.
