VN Ren'Py Troubled Legacy [v0.20] [Blackthunder_vn]

[The Wizard of Oz]

What the hell happened to the animations? They used to work fine on a device with 8 GB of RAM, even on an emulator, now even on an аndroid port, everything freezes before the animation, and if you're lucky it freezes and the animation plays, but it got to the point where it freezes and just crashes... Now the game will only work fine on a PC with 32 GB of RAM, or will there be optimization?I'm just curious because there are games with animations that are at least as good, and 2k+ renders, and everything works without any glitches, but here there's some kind of devilry.

Works fine on my mac with only 16....

 

[Blackthunder_vn]

The Wizard of Oz First of about which animation/'s are you talking about?

Yeah there are soma animations which make problems (like the elevator animation where benny arrives at the office day16)
All the new animations and already some old ones are converted to movie files which cause no problems.

Old animations made out of the renders set to an animation are the problem and cause a memory overflow.
The animations got much bigger over time (at start they only had around 30 single pics/frames, the new ones have over 200 pic's/frames).

TL will get a revisit (text, render and animations) as soon as I'm able to do it.

It already runs fine with only 16GB ram, which every maschine this days should have.

On my PC with 32 too, the thing is that before everything worked fine, but now it lags a lot, even to the point of crashes. It's a pity, I don't have much time to sit at the PC, but the game is good.

It also runs fine on my PC (I don't know about 16, but thank God 32 is definitely enough). It's just a shame, I was running it, everything was fine, and then problems started, so I'm interested. Most likely, the crash is in the same place, in the office (screenshot below).I'll try to find a save to skip this animation, maybe it will help, it will work fine from now on.

 

[Blackthunder_vn]

Yep that's the elevator animation, where Benny arrives, will be a movie file also at the next update.

PreRelease starts for that at 01.04.2025 (04/01/25) public release will be 15.04.25 (04/15/25)

The next update for My Goddess will come out before that right?? I can't wait to see Edith's reaction to seeing the MC again.

 

[Blackthunder_vn]

kcaldw yep, MyGoddess will be released for public 15.02.25 (02/15/25) prerelease already started.

I started this game after noticing that the same Dev as My Goddess made this, and figured it had the same Built In Walkthrough. It does, however, this line, it just cracked me up.

great AVN

 

[JenMistress]

Well, I finally got caught up with the Dev on this game, and in all honesty, I didn't like it was much as My Goddess, but it was OK. It is still the use of the Built In Walkthrough that is the main selling point, and maybe because the days on this game seems longer than in My Goddess, but lack of background music stood out stronger on this game than that one. Luckily there is an Universal Music Mod I found on here previously that fixed that problem. But all and all, did enjoy this for the most part, and thank you so very much for this!!!

Sure they may feel at some point identical but they are still very different games and also storys, plus it's still the same dev... me.

MyGoddess is also still a baby (It's just a year old) wait and have a look how the story evolves they are diffferent.

Yeah music and sounds a very hard and not very cheap topic.
I for myself mute every game I play.

If there is a sound and also music, it has to fit the game like a glove, preferences at music are very different mine is Heavy Metal... so you see.

Music licenses are also a very very money munching beast, good music costs a lot of money... the income for both games doesn't pays out even for my daily living.
But that doesn't stops me from doing what's possible with it.

Also every asset, char and enything other I use at my games is a payed licensed product.

At the moment I can't even affort to buy a 3rd urgently needed used 3090 within a year of hard working, that's how it is.

Yeah what should I say...

Good story + good graphics wins... Forget the music, if you can get it for free and it fits, be my guest.

I too 99% of the time just mute the music, it's distracting, and in the long run it is irritating if there isn't enough variations...

 

[Loxxxthenasty]

Arrrgghhh!!!! These animation crashes are killing my vibe... No offense to BT but I've played other titles of higher visual quality and encounter no errors or crashes of any kind... I really like this one a lot so I keep asking about what can be done about the animations... I'm hoping MY Goddess does not bring me the same pains...

 

[Blackthunder_vn]

Loxxxthenasty Hmmm... I assume you're playing on Android?

Then there are two things you can do about the crashes.

1st you could wait till the revisit is done... (Yeah it will take a some time)

2nd I better be silent about that way... (It may sound to harsh for some)

If you are playing on PC add more ram...

Again I'm sorry about my wrong thinking about used memory sizes, for me 8GB ram are a standard at this days...
I'm on it to get the problem fixed.

And nope MG will not hit the same problem since all animations are already made as movie files.
Which not means you can play on low end maschines without problems...

It's not about the quality the problem is how the animations are set ingame...

Sorry for the problems

I,ll patiently wait... My home systems including my personal PC are all child friendly...
Had a scare with my very inquisitive daughter, so media of a particular kind I keep on my work tab..
Btw MG is delightful so far...

 

[Deicidium]

strangely this os one of many that dont see any error and no crashes from my end,my pc is i7 13900 8gb ram with nvidia 2070ix is a laptop,not shared memory,and only a few games give me the annoying freeze or a stupid crash,...

13900K should have at least 32GB. RAM is your issue. Why spend the $ on a 13900K and only have 8GB

 

[Darrk]

When is the public release for the new update?

 

[Blackthunder_vn]

15.04.2025 (04/15/2025) is the public release date

 

[Spfjolietjake]

I have a potato. During the Tasha scene on the bed it stops playing altogether. Sigh, maybe I'll pick it up when I get a better computer.

well i buy it 3 years ago so i had to chose between memory size or hard space for the money i could spend at tha moment,..so i decie for thehard space..why? well bcs also at that moment laptops with specifically nvidia or ryzen graphics card integrated erent so cheap,...and if u put more ram in the math ,i couldnt pay for it,...now is a diferent mosnter,...i bought a tuf gaming,so didnt have any problems ,but the diferent in price when comes to laptops is abysmal,like double the price ...and no i dont like pc hom bcs im moving alot since i left home 20 years ago.
