You shouldn't be seeing file loading issues, implying you've got a corrupted build. Instead of applying a version specific patch over it, I recommend trying to redownload the game.
AFAIK Spark uses its own Ren'Py distro, which is not what this game uses. I've made extensive changes to the underlying engine and Spark doesn't support that
Make sure to load into a save without an active adventure going on. It is a technical limitation currently, those saves can't be patched when switching to a new version.
I guess Sylvia could technically count as futa. We're not at the point of the Crimson Demon Village yet, and I haven't quite decided what Sylvia's encounters are going to be like, but I'm thinking she might have multiple variations for her scenes (futa/female/etc.), given that her whole point is being a Chimera and being able to shift her appearance at will.
Definitely would like to hear any preferences you guys have here. We're still a long way away from the end of Chapter 2 after all
That's something I'd love to do tbh. My current job is very demanding which leaves me with little to no free time, and then I spiral into thinking that I should add more content to compensate for less frequent updates, which gets out of hand :)
I'll see what I can do then, need to do some profiling
What is the phone you're running on? I've tested on Google Pixel and Xiaomi Mi Mix, and while the latter is noticeably slower than the former, it was still serviceable
I'm still working on it but I'm swamped with work IRL so finding the time for the game is difficult.
Size-wise it's going to be the same as all the other updates really; I'm planning to wrap up the Rookie Killer storyline and add a few character scenes
Sorry for the late response, your message got caught by itch for some reason so it wasn't posted for nearly four months!
The combat system in the game is inspired by Octopath Traveler, I'd suggest checking it out! The guild system is something I came up on my own, and afaik it's not really a thing anywhere else
So I just found out that itch has an automatic "spam detector" and a bunch of legitimate comments were flagged and put into pending queue (the existence of which i was not aware of at all). I've restored a few, but there are far too many that span back years, so if your comment was mistakenly flagged I'm sorry! I'll be checking it from now on
P.S. Wish that spam detector would detect ACTUAL spam smh
