I just got around to playing your game and and had a lot of crashes playing the 4K version, but I think I found a solution for it. It's not as pretty, but if I took off the 'with dissolve' when the movie played I didn't have an issue with the movie crashing the game.

Just something I thought you might want to know.
Thanks, that's really good to know. It won't fix all the problems with the 4k version, but it's a start.

Rec', I have a weird problem with this one ; one that myself don't explain.

Ren'py silently die each time it change the video in the train. I had to comment the four of them to pass this part :/ It's not a question of RAM (I've 8Go free right now), more a question of CPU apparently, since it past from around 17% of use to more than 95% when the videos was playing. It's a recent one and it shouldn't go this high for just a video ; I've make it suffer way more than this, it should be trained now :D

Edit:
The same happen in the bathhouse, so I investigated a little.
The crash happen only when a video succeed to another video, and only in this case
This crash :
Code:
    scene bhv0 with dissolve
    pause
    mcthink "Holy shit, is this really happening?"
    scene bhv1 with dissolve
[/code
This do not crash :
[code]
    scene bhv0 with dissolve
    pause
    scene bh3 with dissolve  # <--
    mcthink "Holy shit, is this really happening?"
    scene bhv1 with dissolve
And honestly I have absolutely no idea why this happen, and even less why it happen to me and not to everyone.

It's the 4k version? If yes, then it happens to others as well. Remember the pm I send you?
The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to be hardware dependent, it happens on high end computer, but I have some people playing it on potatoes that have no problems at all.

So, it doesn't crash if there is no dissolve, and it doesn't crash if there is an image shown between the videos. The problem is obviously that renpy can't handle computing 2 (4k)videos at the same time using dissolve :unsure:

Yes, I almost mentioned it, but suddenly wasn't sure if it was you or another dev.

Well, apparently it can, since it pass on some computers, but not always.
I'm rusty on hardware tech, but my guess goes on some optimization of the CPU that couple badly with either the code of the dissolve or the code of whatever Ren'py need at this time. I mean, a raise of around 70% of the charge on a recent 4.47GHz CPU clearly show that there's a problem. And if it's a conflict with the CPU optimization it can make sense since the CPU is constantly doing one thing to works better, while catching up with the reality. More or less like in a cartoon, when the character have to classify things, and there's more and more that come to him ; he grow more and more arms until he drown.
And here, it's the CPU that goes up on charge more and more, until the process silently die. Because it's not directly Ren'py itself that shutdown, else PyTom would have made it write something on the traceback or the error file.

The bad thing being that there's no solution to this, at least not on your side. :(
But the good thing is that putting an image between two movies seem to works. When I tried, it wasn't weird to have bh3 between bhv0 and bhv1, so it can be a work around.

I'm so confused. So the MC really doesn't remember his
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
LSD, pls.
In fairness, the title is pretty descriptive about weird shit is going to happen. No LSD required, the dev is providing the trip. o_O If I had to make a guess, and it is really too early to say, I'ma gonna guess parallel worlds. He's from one, the girl is from an alternate reality where he had a sister, and the mother is from one where she never died (but maybe he did).

FINALLY! I almost thought nobody will ever notice it lol. But don't worry, it's the MC, he has a beard like this in some (future) scenes, but that's all I'm going to tell about it for now :p
Next update will be one or two weeks after the BM update (which will come this month).

My thoughts on v0.1.1, 4K version:

Again a solid game from recreation!

The story is, once again, an excellent example of how to make incest fresh and interesting.
In this case, there is a kind of "supernatural" angle, which is not explained but left to the player to find out.
Intriguing and I am really curious to see where it is going!

Art, well, HS is generally not really my thing, but for a HS game it's pretty good.
The game does have plenty of animations though, that makes up for it!
The character designs are pretty good and diverse considering it's made in HS. Also the sex scenes are pretty hot so far.

Game performance, well, it didn't crash and I didn't notice any bugs. It is quite slow though, especially when using rollback. My computer is pretty decent and is generally able to handle any game, so a Renpy game shouldn't be a big problem.

Overall: 4/5

I detract half a star for use of HS (I get why you use it but still...) and half a star for (minor-ish for me) performance issues.
The story could become good enough to warrant 5/5 despite this, but at 0.1.1 it's still a bit early to say. Probably I'll revise later.
Definitely going to watch this one though!

I still didn't find out what exactly causes the crashes and performance issues, but I'm going to try a few things out as soon as the BM update is done.

Yes another good HS game, sad to hear it's a side project.

That means I'll have to wait even longer for the next update :/

Bad memories is good, but I prefer this one. Maybe it's my love for HS games.. They are more simple to play and more of a porn game I guess
