Android Version Posted and Bug Fixing Continues
Added 2020-02-03 10:29:17 +0000 UTCFirst, the android version of v0.25.0 has been posted! If you're a patron you can find it here! The 2D animation is a highly experimental feature, so expect it to be a little unstable and leave a bug report in the comments if you run into any issues.
If you missed it, the original release of v0.25.0 has also been patched and replaced by v0.25.0a. This new version includes a fix for a major memory leak and a bug in the new skull fuck position. The memory leak ended up having a simple cause with a simple fix: When a character was animated a temporary file was created for the image data. I had assumed that this file would be cleared from memory once out of scope, but it needed to be explicitly closed otherwise it would hold onto the memory forever. While I was at it I cleaned up another memory inefficiency that didn't grow infinitely, but did use an extra ~100mb once the game was running for a while. The android build had given me some issues initially, thus the late release, but the solution ended up being just throwing more RAM at the build process (to the tune of 16 gb of it).
Now it's time for some work on less critical bug fixes, maybe a little more content writing, and planning for the future!
Comments
I was coming here to report I kept being unable to save due to "out of memory" errors but i didn't realize i could turn off animations. I'll try that!

This probably stops if I turn off animations, so I'm assuming there's a memory leak in general somewhere in the animation code, but I don't know enough about Python to figure out where.
