this is not a bad game so i compared it with other games i believe have the makings to be very good as well. you woudn't compare a ferrari with a toyota, would you? i don't understand why you are being so hostile as well, this games renders are not up to 2024 standards, by the 2018 standards they are very good, however trying to claim that they can hold the candle to other NEWER games with GOOD standards is just pure delusion. i also could provide many more examples of games that look way better visually. in the modern VN market good renders are a must cause that is essentially what brings in the most players, this is pretty much evident by the amount of slop VNs that have only good renders to show for and are still VERY VERY successful. also i remind you that you can be critical of something and still like it, i think a ton of people keep forgetting about that.
I can't see a difference between the renders you posted personally. And frankly, the science behind how the eye sees enhanced graphics is pretty definitive. Beyond a certain level of quality the eye can't distinguish a difference. There's very little difference to the eye between 720p and 1080p and people who say they can see a difference between... I can't remember the exact numbers but let's say 1080p and 4k actually don't, it's all in their heads. To the eye there really isn't a difference beyond a certain level. The graphics in this game hold quite well 6 years later.

Well, my retort would be Midlife Crisis. A game with solid graphic,
I would strongly disagree. Just to be clear, I love the game. Depending on the choices you make, of course, it's very cute and romantic, but the renders are not what makes that game good.

so you're saying all the manufacturers selling high-res displays are scammers and all people that use them are delusional? do i even need to respond to this? :ROFLMAO:

Yes. Scientifically proven as such. I'll take actual scientific studies over some dude who doesn't want to believe that those fancy numbers convinces your brain that you see a difference when you actually don't.

Well, it will always depend on the size of the screen. If it is large enough you will need a higher resolution to avoid pixels clumping (not sure what the correct expression should be), if it is small enough, anything higher doesn't make a difference because the screen cannot display it.

Are you using a mod or cheat of any sorts?
If you are, then it is possible that mod or cheat you're using may be messing with your game.

Also, if you upload your save, I can test it out; I play tested the VN mode on the unmodded raw game and that section worked fine, and given other people who played & finished the VN mode haven't reported any issue on that part till now, I am left scratching my head why this happens to you.

Sadly don't work on macOS with M ship as we need a version ... than run on ARM, and 7.4.11 need rosetta and I will not install it for 1 game.

Really sad
I know the feeling, I have an Intel MacBook that is pretty powerful still and an ARM one just because off the split. Feels like when they stopped supporting 32 bit games. Sadly I can not see for a way to upgrade the script in an easy way.

Went to go purchase on Steam until I saw the price. $16?!? BAD is $14, City of Broken Dreamers $10, Leap of Faith $11, Projekt Passion $12. All of those games are as good if not better than DeLuca and yet the developer is trying to charge more?? I think not. Perhaps when the quality and frequency of updates is as good as DPC or Caribdis, then I'll think about paying $16 for this game on Steam.

BAD is the most overrated game in the genre and not in the rests league, and PP is not at the level of the other three either.

True This game is one of the first I played on F95 ... yet it's the one I had the least update (so I would not give him the same price (or more) of game that had many update (even Being a dick) who is updated quite rarely have more update than that for less.

then wait for a steam sale the summer steam sale should be end of next month. That's what I do with certain AVN's I want to buy only ones I love I would buy right away at full price like this one since steam sales are pretty frequent on alot of AVN's. Personally I think this game is worth it over those games you mentioned only 1 of them id consider just as good as this game or better depending on what area of an AVN you compare it to.

Yeah, for me CoBD is a small notch above this and LoF on the same level. My opinion on the other two I won't mention in mixed company......

I'll also buy it on one of the sales.
