spectre1viper limited the image height to 500 for all images in EVIL 2. I followed that same pattern with my four releases to the game. That allows a good sized image without forcing players to scroll. We don't want players to have to scroll if we can help it.
He also set all videos to 1024x576 with a max bitrate of 2200 (MP4s). That way all pictures and videos had a standard size and would always fit in the same window without issue.
I found that unless the video is 2K or better quality, having a bitrate over 2200 doesn't improve visual quality to the average eye. Most videos I recompiled to a bitrate of 2000 or less. That could save you a lot of file space going forward (it depends on what software you are recompiling the videos with and what options are available).
I took this advice, and have edited all the pictures and video to display properly in a 720x1280 window. Looks way better. I’m using almost exclusively 720p video, so I went with that as the standard size.To second Jesicajones above, on Girl Life we put a limit on image heights at 600px. There are programs that will let you batch resize but for free programs that do that they seem to all be online, so depending on upload and download speeds can be really useful or worse than doing it one by one.
This makes sense. My plan going forward is to try and cut clips in places where there’s only moaning, and only cut the audio on select videos that would be especially immersion breaking for whatever reason.Please don't mute the audio in the video clips. If players don't want to listen to the sound, they can turn down the volume on their QSP player. I totally disagree with whoever suggested to mute the video clips. One of the reasons I like QSP and games like this is because they can playback video easily.
However, I don't like that devs usually remove the sound from clips. Yes, I get it reduces file size, but sound is a important part of the media, and compression is a much better way to deal with file size, in my opinion. As for whether the sounds "fit" with your game's narrative, I also think that is a faulty excuse to remove the audio, because the clips are usually short and contain no dialogue besides moans and groans. Yeah, it can get repetitive, but it's highly unlikely that the sounds would give away a scene and ruin the story if the images in the video otherwise match.
Thanks to jessicajones and the EVIL 2 team for keeping the audio in most of the clips. That's another great QSP game right there. (Lemme know about other English voiced games or real porn games with audio )
Yeah, that’s it, I’ll change the message to make it more clear, thank you for fiddling around and finding it. Also thanks for letting me know I forgot to set a lower limit on the pride counter, lol.I have a trainee's pride to -410, obedience to 100 (it seems to be capped there), and own the toilet brush gag, but whenever I attempt to assign "Have her clean the bathroom" I get the message "She is either too prideful or not obedient enough to agree to this."
I think I figured it out, her fear needs to be high as well.
You might've accidentally closed the Main Description Window. If you go to Settings -> Show/Hide, you'll see a list of all the QSP windows. You'll want to turn on the Main Description, Additional Description, and Action windows. I recommend arranging them as seen in my screenshots.I'm not seeing the story, all I get are the pics and my choices. any idea?
Don't have a specific date yet, but probably some time in the next couple weeks. It looks like its going to have a filesize over 1GB, so I've been working on giving it a significantly higher level of polish before I expect people to commit to a larger download.So.. do we have any date for the next update?
Yeah, I'm trying to get it to actual game territory lol. I'm trying to focus on girls with individual photosets, most of the new videos and pictures that are being added in the new update are all the same model and part of the same storyline. My plan is to add six or so girls with a lot of specific content and multiple endings that constitute most of the content to complete in the game.No problem, but I really liked what is there... so i really love to see this as a... game, because until now it was more a concept and some very random stuff when kidnapping
From what I have seen so far, I think the girls that can be kidnapped should feature their own picture set each, if possible
Thank You, that did it.You might've accidentally closed the Main Description Window. If you go to Settings -> Show/Hide, you'll see a list of all the QSP windows.

If you're talking about the lack of text accompanying training images in the basement, I just haven't written it yet, so its only the images for now.
I really need to be better organized - every time I add one new thing, it gives me an idea for something else, and my ETA for the next build gets pushed back another week.That looks AWESOME!
Give it
What operating system are you running? The QSP player bundled in the game is the 64-bit version, if you have a 32-bit OS that could be the problem. You can download the 32-bit version of the player here.View attachment 1056220 The main desc and additional desc is not working for me for some reason when using the suggested qsp launcher
