Version 0.2 TESTER is available!

Maybe you should give a report to the mod that this game is actually updated(even it is just rework/bugfix). It will make this thread appear in the latest update again and make more people discover this game.
And I must say the weapon of blood angle look too plastic for me, is she a villain or hero?

BlazingBob i dunno if this is a bug but i'm experiencing almost 100% cpu usage and crippling my laptop performance when the sex scene came up. this is the first time it happened while playing AVNs.

edit: checked also with my pc, how tf is this game eating 70% of my cpu? is this a freaking AAA game?

this game eats more resources until the sex scene stops. reaches 10% from the start up to 80% of my cpu until the climax

That intense lag on the sex scene is still not fixed. Probably should focus on that one for now.

This is not an exception. It is bad coding/planning. The dev is using the show function of the renpy for the videos. I don't think he knows that if you use one Show function after another they stack. Meaning while one video is being played, another one is being played in the BG. And honestly, the game comes with a lot of basic issues...

well still glad to see the guy is still working on it, it has promises and seems most HS games never reach 0.2 nowaday.

Superheroes? I'm down to play this. I'm always surprised by how many gems I miss. From the overview and tags, this seems like my kind of game.

 

[PeggyBlackett]

... become the superhero you were always meant to be! ​

Awww.

I always felt like a supervillain in a superhero costume.

Is there a clinic somewhere that will help me transition?

{If the transition involves a chastity cage i'll stay a hero, if it's all the same to you, though...}

So...is this release supposed to end really abruptly after you meet Jamiah in her room?
MC internal monologues : "You sure did a damn good job" and it just cuts back to the main menu screen. Compared to how V0.1 ended this seemed really short and unfinished.

Hey ! I confirm that I have the same problem during lewd scenes. And I'm not running it on a potato btw. You can see that the CPU usage is increasing everytime there is a new animation in a lewd scene. Never seen that before in a VN.

Yep, this is test-release with improvments for the 0.1 content and a small amount of chapter 2 content.

Ah, alright thanks.

Harem tag in the future?

Looks pretty good.

This is not an exception. It is bad coding/planning. The dev is using the show function of the renpy for the videos. I don't think he knows that if you use one Show function after another they stack.

I've been running into devs doing it pretty often. BlazingBob here is the way to fix your animations:

animations are gonna lag on any device that isn't powerful because you're not hiding the animations after you start the next one in the sequence.

The four statements that work with images/animations are:

• image - defines a new image.
• show - shows an image on a layer.
• scene - clears a layer, and optionally shows an image on that layer.
• hide - removes an image from a layer.

Basically, you're effectively making your entire sex scene a single layer when you use 'show', so every new animation is just piling onto the previous one instead of replacing the currently playing animation, making both the previous animation(s) and current use system resources all at once.


This is how you do it so that you don't have a bunch of animations running in the background during sex scenes.
show animation 1 with dissolve
show animation 2 with dissolve
hide animation 1
etc.

Alternatively, the best solution is just to replace 'show' with 'scene' which ends the previous animation before starting the new one automatically.

Oh my, I'm sorry for the late response, I'll admit that I haven't checked this thread in a while. Thank you all for bringing these performance issues to my attention as I am really eager to fix them and improve the user's experience. I do not know how to address every issue, but those that I can, I will.

- The tester version that was released was initially just made for a few people to test out if the reworked animations have fixed the lag and performance issues. Although I am sad to see that it hasn't improved, I am grateful for your feedback and suggestions. I wasn't aware that using the "show" function stacks up all the animations - no wonder it causes such a demand on your CPU. I apologise for that.

- I understand the abrupt ending of the episode 2 content, but it was initially meant to be a little preview of what's to come.

- I have also spoke with a couple of good, experienced devs and they have given me valuable insight on some of the shortcomings of the game. Most of it was concerning the visuals (weird posing, inconsistent lighting) and the animations, but some of it were about the writing and the story itself. Although I openly admit that I have taken quite a bit of inspiration from other superhero media (Teen Titans, Young Justice, etc.), people have pointed out that it is perhaps too similar to those shows.

To sum it all up, this will be my response to the aforementioned issues. Since the issues of the game run much deeper than I anticipated, I plan to go back to the drawing board and rethink some of the decisions I have made with the game. I will fix as much as I can from Episode One, and release the reworked version as soon as I can (I'm just waiting for my university semester to finish).

Thank you all for the interest in my game, and I encourage you to inform me of any suggestions on how to improve it (especially with the performance).
