weird bug in this release, not sure why it's there, it's been fixed for a while in the steam and patroen builds

First time I've seen a hooded old man getting some ripe pussy. 
Animations are good quality. Hot scenes. Hopefully more foreplay in the future and more slutty outfits/teasing would be nice.

it’s weird because in 3d daz games there’s soo many similar renders and no one gets creeped out at a cartoon smiling… it must the ai realism and fluidity

And, moreover, CPU based. RP kinda sucks at video playback as it is (I believe it also isn't a prio for the dev, since it's a (quoting)

), and it doesn't support HW acceleration.And, I don't know how your game is scripted (haven't checked it), but a lot of devs are apparently not aware of RP's behaviour (scene vs show), or perhaps don't care much about optimization in that regard, and are (unwittingly) stacking up animations (and/or images) until the next `scene` occurs. 1 stacked up video can already be killing for potatoes. As can a couple of stacked up 4K renders.
I'd seriously consider releasing a (VP8/9) 30fps 1080p video pack (rpa) for anyone that hasn't got a beefy machine that can handle unaccelerated 4K video (let alone @ 60fps).
Yes, WebP at 80% (what is the consensus believe) is pretty bad. 90% would be a lot better, but better still: AVIF (or, prolly even better yet, but alas unsupported by RP, JPEG XL).
It's RP 8.3.4, thus Win7/8 compatible - edit: oh wait, that's your main game, dunno about the special..

Thanks for the detailed feedback! You're absolutely right about the performance challenges. We actually tackled the memory leak issue a while back - we discovered scenes with 120+ images and 20+ animations were causing major RAM issues. Since we couldn't split certain scenes without breaking the narrative flow, we implemented automatic memory clears every 5-10 scenes to prevent RAM buildup.
Regarding video optimization - we understand 4K@60fps is demanding without hardware acceleration. We initially committed to shipping a 4K experience because our workflow involves extensive AI enhancement for micro-details (facial features, hair textures, clothing details, etc.) that standard Daz renders typically lack. These enhancements unfortunately degrade significantly when compressed to WebP at 80% - the details get completely washed out.
You make a valid point about offering a 1080p@30fps VP8/9 pack for lower-spec machines. We'll seriously consider this as an optional download. We've been recommending players avoid the compressed versions precisely because WebP compression destroys the AI-enhanced detail work we put so much effort into.
For image format, I agree AVIF at 90%+ would be ideal (JPEG XL would be perfect but as you noted, no Ren'Py support). We're exploring options that preserve quality while improving performance.

Well...if for the Halloween Special you used the same Renpy version of the main game (at least the versions uploaded here on F95) then it's ok for me.
I want to subscribe to your Patreon to try the HS, but before I need to know if I can play it ofc ^^
As srfsmrf_ wrote, Renpy 8.3.4 (the one you used for SDF 1.12) is still ok for Win7, but if later you've switched to 8.4, I can't play under Win7.
