Hey Bob69 , you mentioned here Compressions starting to not be worth it, but is there any chance of getting an update only (assuming full would still work on prev. ver being compressed) for 0.25 -> 0.26?
I will look into the compression and update patch. May take a bit though.
did you add the previous/latest multi-mod of lighmanP if you didn't add that to game you can't play further....
Yes, you need to wait for the multimod. Then everything will work. Soon.
I mean, yes and no, Honey Select, even HS1, can look absolutely amazing... take a look at Pale Carnations for peak HS1 visuals... With this game (and Now & Then) The problem is more the quality of the images... they're very compressed (and they probably use lower settings) and it shows... I guess it's a good idea considering how long it is, but I wouldn't mind more quality the next time... This game has some nice scenes that would look incrediblr if they had a better quality, but oh well...
Dev stated in the past they didn't want it to look too polished as it was in a world that was bleak. If the dev had focused on getting excellent quality .. we would just now being done with the first game (due to the number of images and chapters) and not being almost done with the second. Sometimes the enemy of good is perfection.
ehhh, I'm not sure it'd take that much longer, HS doesn't have to render images like DAZ does...
There is a lot of touch-up in post after rendering with things like photoshop or GIMP. If you spend twice the amount of time doing touch-up to clear up all perfections, there is much delay added. But in a month (the Devs usual cycle), at least 50% is spend on rendering. If you double rendering time (and touch-up), then you are effectively making release every 1.5 months instead of every month. Which mathmatically (30 releases in N&T, 4 months between games, 26 releases in TID, so 56 months for game releases), you would only be on Chapter 7 of TID at this point.
huh?? if they touch-up 10 images, it's the same amount of time whether they're high res or low res... it's still 10 images... I'm not sure what you're talking about here... =/
