A person releases a project - For money! and there are a lot of mistakes in the project :)) Yeah, these are strange times for Gaming.

Oww, man. I expect more creativity for toxic messages, to be honest, from a guy who has been here since 2017. And you used your " 1 reply per 2 years" for this? Really?

Where should I start? It's not released; it's in development. Are there a lot of mistakes? Where? and some old-age sarcasm.

In a forum with millions of unfinished, abandoned, buggy mess games, including even the AAA industry with buggy games and unplayable launches, did you figure "strange times for gaming" out of my game? Interesting and sad...

It's about many games! and not specifically about yours, And yes, for that matter (the game is in development), but the board is already now!

There are some bugs in an indie porn game, what a twist!!! I won't explain the difference between donation-supported game development and paying for something that's finished. You should know it by now.

Hey Drages
I love your work!
However I have one issue: When the game is started, it seems it extracts the video from the installation folder to LocalLow. However, this happens regardless of whether it's launched the first time or not. This causes a rather long loading time and also unnecessary wear on SSD and NVMe drives by overwriting multiple GB of data with exactly the same one.
So it seems to me that a check whether or not the files are already there or possibly adding a command line argument to skip this process would bring quite a quality of life improvement and seems rather easy to implement.

Hey! Thx! A positive suggestion here!

Looks logical. I will ask my coder. Just, SSDs are not so weak, not so easy to die with some rewriting. I mean, if you get a 100 GB game install on your PC, it means 20 ToM :). My poor SSD's got 1.7 million images rendered for the ToM animations :)

As strong as SSDs are they're not meant to be written on continuously. The more is written the shorter the lifespan. So a 100GB game is fine if you install it and leave it, but writing 20GB every time you launch a game is not very consumer friendly. Also might explain a lot of bugs for people who might have smaller OS disks and maybe have <20GB free space.

A solution would be to write on the game's root folder, not in AppData, and advise players to install on a HDD. And artificially claim 20 extra GB on the root folder upon install/first launch, to reserve it for loading animations. This so that if players fill up their HDD to >90% and run the game, it doesn't unknowingly shorten their HDD's lifespan.
