I have some stuff that makes me kindaaaa suffering throughout the gameplay though, the loading time between each stage and the clunky skip function OTL
Other than that it's truly an experience~
That’s awesome to hear :D Thanks so much for checking out the demo, making a video, and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment ^-^
I’m sorry you suffered through some quality-of-life issues though >.<
I WISH I knew how to make my games run better on all different kinds of systems, but sadly, I just don’t have the technical know-how at the moment :(
Everything seems to run fine on the PC that I make stuff on, no issues with load times and stuff whatsoever and it’s all nice and smooth, BUT… when I go to test my exported builds on the old family potato laptop which has pretty awful specs, most of my games take over 1 full minute just to reach the title screen after hitting the exe >.<”
What loads instantly on my PC can take over 2 minutes to load on the potato laptop T_T Like with the Lovestarved demo, it takes around 1 minute 40 just to load the title screen after backing out of the extras menu… and when load screens are reached during gameplay, it takes around 1 minute 20 to load the scene, then everything is smooth once it’s actually FINALLY loaded :(
One thing I definitely need to do is add an extra loading screen for backing out of the ‘extras’ & ‘credits’ menus, cos otherwise, it just makes it look like the game has frozen like it did in your video x3 It’s technically loading, but because I didn’t code it to actually display the loading screen since I didn’t know until it was too late that backing out of menus was gonna be so slow, it makes it look like it's frozen T_T I found out a few hours before launching the demo, so it was too late to update, haha. It won’t solve the fact that it’s so slow, but it will at least let players know that the game is loading xD
It’s super frustrating. I think I’m gonna have to ask some folks who are more knowledgeable than me what on earth I can do to improve how it runs on slower systems. Hopefully, someone will be able to give me some suggestions x3
With the skip function though, there might not be anything I can do at all about it cos all the code for how it works is built into the software I used to make the game (Naninovel), so I’m kinda just relying on it working >.<
But despite the clunkiness and slow loading, I’m glad you persevered and enjoyed the demo :D It still sucks that the issues are there in the first place though T_T haha.
Thanks again for playing <3
PS. I laughed out loud at the thought of farting in public being considered potentially disturbing behaviour xD I guess you're right there, haha. It is a pretty vague warning that's open to interpretation >.< I mainly use it to cover yandere behaviour, but leave it up to people whether or not they wanna check out the more detailed warnings x3
