Dev Log 12/29 - Alex Experimenting with makeup.

AKA Emo Alex.

Just some teasers, One of the possible day 4 diner scenarios.

(Must of liked the goth make up on day 3, and accepted her advances morning of day 4.(Male route))

Anyways, Dev log.

worky worky worky. Trying to get day 4 done.

Mobile Test - So this got pushed aside for a bit because holidays, being sick, finishing nexus. etc.

Its coming, And I thank those who volunteered to help, and sorry for the delay.

Also their is a slight change in when this actually takes effect. It won't be needed for full day 4 now. Their is a lot of compressions tools and formats available. Everyone kept saying use webp. but man, I hated webp, to get a quality I liked it ended up larger then the a jpg compressed at a level I liked. so I gave up on webp after day 2.

Today I tried a cruncher for Renpy games, and my internal build went from 2.6gb to 1.3, and it looks good. so I will be able to get to day 5 on one android version. so yaa!

But this has raised an internal discussion. Due to the size of the game. "Chapters" have always been a plan. original thought 3 chapters, day 0 through 10, 11 through 20, 21 through 30.  But now kind of debating 6, so mobile and desktop match? but I don't know yet. Ill let you all know whats decided. But personally I don't see an issue with 6 chapters, as its less to download with each update.

Compression variance.   Desktop and mobile will be running different compressions. come day 5, mobile will be a little less then 2gb, desktop will be closer to 5gb. This is because on an 8inch phone screen you won't see certain things that you will on a larger 21+ inch screen so I will not compress desktop down to that level, if anything, since mobile will be running its own compression, some of the desktop compression may be undone to bring back some of the quality that is missing due to the compression. (I render large files 5 to 10 mb per image, and compress them down to about 300k, but even at high end jpg compression most images are about 1mb and look so much better then the 300k counterpart.)
