That's why this one has kind of clicked with me. The MC can be a little on the pervy side, but he isn't as bad as most of the horny teen in an adult body MCs you see everywhere now. It's really getting old. As much as I'd like to see more of this I think I'll wait until it's "entirely ready" to play again.
Well, I realize not everyone follows development, so I'll try not to take it personally, but I've been a little busy IRL. Family lost everything in a house fire at the end of Jan, including my pc and the 100+gigs of tools, models, etc related to the game. So while we were thankfully insured, the process of rebuilding, replacing, and managing all that (insurance is a pita) along with my "day job" kinda set me back. Honestly it was hit or miss for the first few months after if I could even continue the game because I had to recreate so many things from scratch. I'm confident I can now thankfully and was able to recover some online backups, but the process of replacing things is still ongoing as I continue developing for mostly myself and around 10 paying subscribers.
well as far as reasons for a short update go, thats a pretty fuckin fantastic one I gotta admit! lol
Yeah the lighting is definitely a problem, although it probably speaks more about the engine than your own work.
Huh, that's weird. I know the game used to be very dark but Ace has vastly improved the lighting across the whole game. I have zero issues running it on android.

Yeah, I found there is a lot of variances between monitor/TV types (especially the new HDR crap that makes shows like Mandalorian dark asf) that can make the early game especially feel too dark, both because I was still getting used to VAM (and sometimes was hiding some low res backgrounds) and was more limited at that time in the type/number of light sources I could support. That is all less of a factor now that I have a higher end system, but even then it is a lot trickier it seems to establish good lighting with VAM than DAZ or Blender I feel (both of which I've dabbled in now).

It's #eff0f2, basically white. Avoid large white surfaces, it wouldn't be that bad if your game was very bright, or you knew for sure the player was running a light theme (gotta wait for
Hmm, it isn't blinding on my end, but I can definitely see how the contrast would magnify things. I'll add it to my list of things to look into.
Yeah the blinding effect is gonna depend on the monitor settings and the luminosity of the room. Close off the blinds or play at night in a pitch black room, turn up the brightness and contrast on your monitor, then play your game for ~10 minutes until your eyes get used to the darkness and try to save.
Hehe, I know the urgency inside the Demeter seems out of pace with the external threat, but I do have some reasons for that which will hopefully become apparent in time.The latest bit released kind of almost proved my assumptions right about the ship's origin, which, I gotta say, is some well made foreshadowing!
Looking forward to more of it, even though admittedly the complete lack of urgency is still comically grating at times.
Best of luck to you and your family in rebuilding, and in general best wishes!
Found a really simple fix for the save screen background being too bright. Will be in the next release, but you and others don't have to wait if needed.
