I'm honestly debating on if to wait for the .5 update or not. Especially as we get more word about it.

Leaning more towards wait atm, Jenny isn't really one of the characters I'm really investing in/rooting for.

Me too. I've been waiting since v16 - can wait a little longer. Honesty, this is one of the best games, don't want it to lose it's impact. I'm leaning slightly towards not waiting.

Actually, depending on how the Ren'py engine works, it's not that simple. He couldn't just yank the audio files out of the game and upload it as the No-Audio version. The game would error out whenever that audio should play. So, he'd have to remove the audio files AND spend time adjusting the code to not call for that file to play for each and every instance of spoken dialogue.
Just replace the actual voice-over files with files of a few milliseconds of absolute silence with the same filenames. Wouldn't make the game bigger by more than a few megabytes at best and wouldn't make ren'py freak out.

Oh god, please no. Voice acting in almost every game I've played is complete crap and adds more size to the download. Especially if he adds multiple language support. I hate downloading audio for a dozen languages I'll never use.
I actually thought wah wah sound like the Charlie Brown adults might do the trick. I even experimented a bit, but it is nearly impossible to find some (and especially some different, male and female) sound samples (expressing different situations like shouting, laughter and so on). But it might maybe add some atmosphere if done well. At least Renpy provides some functions to support it, some games do a beeping sound like in movies showing computer output.
