Another full render would also be possible but just overlaying a smaller image is more elegant. :WeSmart:

I'm fairly sure that's how most if not all devs do it. ;)

I would have thought so as well, but I came to realize a lot of devs don't bother and when they do, some use full renders - which seems totally tone deaf to me. I'd say most professional devs who care about their game space do it. It's little tricks like those that do a lot with a little. And since Perv seems to be doing a lot every episode, this does come in handy. Efficient render use is something that TFTUV has been exceptional in from the start. S1 is about 4GB for 12 episodes, S2 is about 4.5 GB for 9 episodes. Considering how much an episode holds and how many renders are crammed in an episode, it's quite a feat.

I have found another bug. This time variables are reseting itself.

Damn, that seems to be a regression from earlier episodes. The scene with Thyia was out of order originally, so I moved it earlier in the episode, but it seems the move has messed with the variables. This bug should only affect new playthroughs, I think. Will be fixed in the next release.

While I don't disagree with your general assessment, I don't think using size : episode ratio is a valid measure of efficiency.

There are games with ~300 renders in a single episode, while others have 7000+.

It's starting to feel like the entire episode 21 should be replayed for best story feel and effect when the next release comes out.

The bug with the blinking isn't that bad and can be ignored mostly.
The one where a var flips not. You need URM to fix that or a save editor.
If you can't do that yourself then I suggest to wait for a v21.X or v22.
I'm not sure if a v21.X is even in development right now or if Perv plans to wait for the next episode.

For those playing with the incest patch and are up to date with their current playthrough please consider answering a question I have

There are no surprise incest characters. Nadya went from Aunt to Mom, and Aven went from cousin to sister. Our other sisters were always stated as being our sisters.

Many people on our side love to play these games, especially the game of sister desire, which is famous on our side because of a long time. It's just that when the language is not smooth and there is no patch, it is really uncomfortable for me to play little by little.
