Hello dev, I don't know if I am the only one to experience these inconveniences but the game is really laggy for me, also it constantly crashes after some time playing it, it doesn't crash at specific moments, it just crashes after playing it for some time, like it doesn't want me to play for long.

Honestly, I am amazed at what you managed to make with RPG Maker because your game is far from being what is intended to be made with RPGM however I do wonder if it is wise to use a software to make something so far from the intended use as RPGM is designed for top-down RPGs and what you have made is a first person point & click, I have the feeling that your project would work much better with Ren'Py for example, I feel this way because my experience playing the game is severely hindered by constant lag and crashes, which makes me wonder if it is because RPGM is not designed for what you made?

Then again, I don't know if I am the only one whose fun is ruined by technical inconveniences or if many players experience the same, did you get any similar feedback already or am I the first to report such?

hello Maxime ! I’m the dev of the game and before all, thank you for your decent feedback and for staying extremely respectful and amiable !

I’m gonna respond to you honestly, without any « persona » and really as the humble dev that I am, I have no real experience in game-making, I’m just a little someone who spent their life enjoying creating stories and characters and found rpg maker as a decent and easy-to-use medium to develop my story into something people can enjoy, I am frankly sorry you couldn’t enjoy the game because of the numerous issues, I do what I can to fix that and I hope I’ll be able to fix the lag and random crash, I do believe rpg maker ace is a rather unstable engine but I also admit that I was a bit too ambitious with this engine.

I know that some people seem to be able to experience the game correctly while some others cannot, do you have a good ram ? I know that I tested  the game on my very.... crappy computer numerous times and I haven’t encountered too many experience-breaking lags or crashes (beside some script issues or plugin problems) so it’s a bit hard estimating how fickle or frail the game is.

I feel quite bad that your experience was that bad, moreso since I’ve put a lot of faith into this project, but I’ll ty to find a way to fix it so that, in the future, you’ll be able to play the game correctly at long last.

I’ll also base my future creations on what went right and wrong with the project so that I can, hopefully, do better with what I feel the most comfortable with.

Have a good day Maxime and thank you again for your comment !

Hello Polar Moon,

Well, as I said, the engine RPG Maker is designed for 2D top down RPGs and you used it for a first person point & click so I think the issue is not that you are too ambitious but rather than you use the wrong tools to achieve your goals. I suggested you to use the engine Ren'Py, do you know this engine at all? It is designed for visual novels, which is why it came to my mind while playing your game because I believe that it would be the perfect engine to run your game.

Oh I can assure you that my PC is powerful enough to support RPG Maker, it was built for hardcore gaming and I did check the resources consumption while the game was running and my PC barely felt your game at all, I mean to say that my PC didn't break a sweat to run your game so nope, the issue is not my RAM nor my CPU nor my SSD, nothing was wrong with my hardware. Moreover you tell me that you tested the game on a crappy PC and it worked fine so it really is not a hardware problem. The game didn't lag nor crash for you? Because for me, it was a pain to play because it lagged all the time and crashed very often. But technical issues were not my biggest pain with this game, my biggest pain was Fujita Anju, I hated being stuck with this bitch all the time, reading her inner thoughts were a torture, I hated her with all my heart and I do confess that I cursed you many times for making me play the least likeable of all your characters.

Why did I hate being Fujita Anju? Because she is a bitch, she is extremely judgemental, her interactions with other characters are 99% judging, looking down and scolding everyone because her life goal is to be the most normal possible (meaning monotonous and boring) and she expects everyone to be as boring as her, she doesn't tolerate any originality, every time someone shows some originality, she judges them, she looks down on them, she scolds them for not being "normal", moreover she spends her time having existential crisis, she can't do anything at all without having an existential crisis, I can't express enough how much of a torture it was for me to read her endless inner monologues, it was not an enjoyable experience to be stuck with her, she is definitely the least likeable of all the characters and I spent the entire game wondering why you chose her to be the playable character when anybody else would have been much more fun to experience, Fujita Anju has completely ruined the game for me, I hated being stuck with her, I would have enjoyed the game much more with another character, she was boring, annoying and a true bitch and I felt relief when she died because I was finally free from being stuck inside a judgemental bitch who has endless inner monologues, that's how I experienced the game.
