probably not. idk why your having issues extracting it tho. are you using rar or something else

No, it's the zip off of the pixeldrain link. The folders extract but all of the files within receive "Unexpected Error"
i mean what extraction tool are you using. rar is a tool used to extract zip files
The windows build in extraction tool? Its a zip file so I just unzip it without opening anything.
is english your first language? i dont know how you confused my comment.
Okay then. Extracting on my tablet instead of my PC worked for some reason. Thank you for the help!
I'm already doing that and I'm more or less halfway on renaming everything. The project is more or less decently organized (japanese naming aside), the guy went on making a custom engine that basically renders vector graphics (in the worst possible way, using the CPU as a rasterizer). The way everything is handled makes sense, it's just VERY hard to work with without a lenghty rewrite. I managed to recompile the game in .Net 8.0 with only a couple of issues on resources loading (wichi locks me at the main menu). Unfortunately I've had very little time to work on it due to being extra busy w/ dayjob.
I think it could be possible to plug SDL (maybe using Silk.Net) and translate all the draw calls into GPU compute friendly operations, moving the rasterization on GPU and effectively solving the performance issues of this game (which only increase as you up the resolution).
I have a compiling-decompile that also runs if you want
The decompiler I used (ilspy) fucked up the resource loading stuff really bad so i just rewrote it :skull:
I'm currently working on dumping all of the assets to json files because the current format is terrible. its an encrypted gzip file filled with serialized C# data types. From what I can tell everything is drawn using cardinal splines, and those honestly shouldn't be that expensive to draw even on the cpu. I imagine the performance issues are elsewhere.

From what I've seen the draw function is very unoptimized and basically reassignes the surface pixel by pixel at every draw, on a single core. Some pieces also make use of gradients and transparency in a very bad way.I have a compiling-decompile that also runs if you want

I used a combination of ILspy and DnSpy at the beginning as both had stuff working and stuff not working. Thanks for the working decomp, I'll see if I can merge the resources part with my current code base which has now way too many renames going on.
It will probably need to wait until this weekend tho.
I've had this issue too, actually. If you download the 7zip app onto your mobile device, it can be extracted through that. No idea why, but I hope whatever issue is causing this gets fixed soon.

Too bad the devs left the game as is, there is a stupid amount of potential in this, only played until my debt was at 4 billion, figured out that once ur finished with the debt you don't have a goal anymore despite having more stuff unlocked, which sucks ass, no point in playing with the new girls if you got no more goals (which by the time I unlock them I'll be sick of the repetitive gameplay)
But yeah, this game is a diamond in the rough with nobody to process it.

While your correct about there not being much to do after, the game is good enough that people who like it should at least see the debt paid, in my opinion. While the gameplay is repetitive after a while, the point of it is to be something of a mad scientist and see what you can whip up through the breeding. Though using this game as a blueprint, I can see someone making something even better than this.

So does anyone have issues saving? I can't save the game so I can't go far in the game, which is annoying to say the least. Is there any way to fix this issue?

Are you saving with the Json? The only time ive ever had trouble saving is when using that method as when i progress too much, i couldnt make a new save, the game would just freeze up. Try using the regular saving method.
Guys, I tried to expand floors and rooms with dnspy but didn't work well, I tried to expand floor buttons in Mods→対象 but it didn't work cause of compilation errors, if you have any plans to update the game in the future, please consider expanding them, thanks a lot.
I am going to call this a success,
that is every vector asset in the game drawn at the same time
