You wrote about the fact that it is better to wait than to download a game with compressed sounds and videos, and I had a question: where are the compressed videos in the compressed versions? If only images and audio are compressed, then only up to 80%, which does not affect the image quality that much.
I don't know if my original inquiry from a while ago was read as passive-aggressive, but that's not the case: I was genuinely wondering how many people would rather download the compressed version of my game. Please don't see it as me disapproving you compressing my game, on the contrary, I find the subject fascinating, even though my game isn't that heavy compared to some 3D games with lots of animation.

I did not de-link the link in the original post, by the way. Perhaps the mods removed it because it was too old?

Anyway, the video thing was an example. Don't take it as face value.

Some people asked to compress popular games to 200 MB, so your game is not the smallest that was compressed :D.
I took the post as it sounded, if it's just curiosity, that's fine.
The number of downloads could be tracked if I uploaded to GoFile or PixelDrain, but with such demand, I don't see the point.
It's good that this is an example of video, but it doesn't always make sense to compress video with high quality.
Thank you for answering.
Thanks for sating my curiosity! And 200 MB? maybe they have a really slow or limited 4G connection? Oo

What do you think of crunchers like "Yet Another Cruncher"? I tried it on my game out of curiosity and sure enough, it did crunch the files into something smaller, though not as small as the one you uploaded.

I posted a on the /r/argaming (Argentinian gaming) subreddit asking about regional pricing and got a hundred replies from Argentinian gamers who were super nice and helpful.

Now I'm considering doing the same in an Eastern European subreddit in the euro zone, where regional pricing unfortunately doesn't work the euro price tag is the same on East and West Europe, despite the difference in average salary and costs of living... maybe Romania? Or Lithuania?

Would any native Italian speaker be interested in checking a snippet of our official Italian translation? The game's script is 100% translated in Italian, but we would like to assess its quality and whether it sounds natural.

If interested, please let me know in this thread or send me a PM.

"Nobody is heterosexual in this game, not even the green lady, and you can't date her either."
My headcanon will be that the only reason Danya is gay is because he ran out of women.

It's a great visual novel and I love the chemistry between Danya and Brahve, as well as Danya's and Juniper's friendship. I will be watching this one closely.

I've seen this game popping up here from time to time and this is my first time playing it, and I just wanted to say that I really love and enjoy playing your game! :) I'm a big fan of super awesome visual novels, and your artwork and story development are amazing! And the ''Steamy scenes'' (I'm trying to keep my words PG lol) are very hot! I wish I had the funds to support you on Patreon for I feel like it's definitely worth supporting even if it's available on this site. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to do so, at least for now, but if I ever get a raise/promotion on my job, I would definitely like to give my support one day soon! ❤

Thanks for the kind words! I think the game just wouldn't be the same without Juniper onboard and I hope everyone has someone like her you can banter with and confide in, even in more embarrassing moments.

But this is a porn forum! No need to censor words here :devilish:
And no worries, we have all the money we need to finish the game (well, the game IS finished, just being polished now). Right now we use the Patreon money for stuff like translating in other languages, more music tracks and more extra stuff that we believe can improve the game and reach a wider audience. Depending on where you live, getting it in Steam when it is released in February might be more affordable to you.

I think everyone has that one friend who, at times you'd want to sucker punch them, but there's also times where you know that you know that they truly value the friendship and you couldn't live without their trust and honesty.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

I have some great news: after 4 tries, Steam approved our (SFW) build! That's one less major hurdle to our planned release on February! In the meantime, we're working hard on the achievements, the translations and the DLCs. We really hope to get as many translations done as possible for the launch.

Also, . Only 13 of you so far reported discovering the game through f95.

Also, our survey is still ongoing until November 11th. Only 13 of you so far reported discovering the game through f95.
Congrats on Steam giving the greenlight on it!
Is there a limit on translations? Just asking a bit innocently.

Thanks! And what do you mean by limit? We can add as many translations as we like, provided we 1°) can afford them and 2°) we are sure enough people will buy in that language to justify translating it.

Yeah that's fair, was just curious since I could translate it into Swedish with five cups of coffee. So it was mostly just a question about if it was free to translate out of good will haha.

Would you be alright talking about it more it details through Discord? We are curious about the BL fandom and the video game market in Sweden.

Certainly! Just give me a DM through here and I can give the Discord info, and we can discuss further on it there.
