Just a quick one about release/update format
Added 2018-11-23 11:45:39 +0000 UTCHi,
sorry to bother you again with another poll so soon.
And it's not a very important one this time :)
How do you like to have the updates?
As a full version or as a small incremental update?
My internet connection is pretty fast, so uploading a full version almost every time (except for small bug fixes) is not longer a problem for me.
Installation for you is more simple with a full version, and it's less prone to having errors due to forgotten images. I have to create the "delta update" from the full version, which takes longer and has the risk of forgetting to include images.
Obviously with slower internet, delta updates are better for you.
So my question is what do you prefer?

PS: The poll is only open for some hours, because I want to have the result before publishing 0.1.3.2 :) Even after the poll is closed, feel free to write your thoughts in the comments. I will read them.

I missed the poll, but I like how it went. I prefer the full version. Plus, I think you have fewer questions to answer about how people didn't put things in the right folder. Look how many people commented about the Eva night scene bug after it had been fixed, but they didn't install the patch. Save yourself some headaches & go with a full version.

2018-11-23 18:25:20 +0000 UTCThe question was not about the release period or how often and with how much content. It was mainly to know if you all prefer full versions or small updates to download. About the release periods - I will continue in the same way I did it in the past. Stability comes before early release time. Fixing bugs and encountering them is annoying for everyone. So I prefer to have as little as possible :) To be able to delivery better bug fixes, I would have to stop development for about a week. I don't really want to do that. A day or two is okay, but everything longer will mess with the schedule.

2018-11-23 12:22:04 +0000 UTCThe size difference is more than 100MB. That's why I started using 7z format for the windows release. For Mac I've always used zip format. Is it really necessary to change that now? I guess almost every windows user playinng the game has 7z by now.

2018-11-23 12:19:40 +0000 UTCComplex question. At first, as the developer, only you have the deep knowledge about the game state and it's release availability. So far you behave such reponsible regarding this, so, Your own judgement is the most important. If it helps, regarding the content and new features aditions once a month is ok for me. Otherwise, i feel, there will be so few new things to play every time. Regarding the bugfixes instead, if would be good it they were released sooner in order to left an "stable" version for the rest of the month.

2018-11-23 12:19:24 +0000 UTCIt's not a big deal, but I prefer zip archives to 7z. zip can be opened on Mac and PC just by clicking. 7z requires other software.

2018-11-23 12:16:52 +0000 UTCThanks. The next one is just around the corner. Later today or tomorrrow. It's a bit smaller, but also less than 4 weeks since the last update.

2018-11-23 12:16:06 +0000 UTCYour update schedule is currently pretty good. It is a lot better than a few creators that I should stop supporting buy now(they have long periods of inactivity for little content). However, a few mini updates wouldn't hurt once in awhile. Thanks for the hard work. I look forward to next update

2018-11-23 12:13:34 +0000 UTCMe too, especially since it also reduces the amount of time to check and make sure I've included all changed and new images. Even if no mistakes happen, it needs a lot of time. It's even worse if I really forgot something. It might take some time before someone reports it. And then it means another incremental update to fix it.

2018-11-23 12:10:24 +0000 UTCI like full to make sure nothing is missed. If you do partials it runs the risk of missing one of the increments. If that happens it would be frustrating trying to figure out which one.
