VX Ace demo version...
Added 2017-02-15 05:50:01 +0000 UTCWell, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that I finally finished the demo of Sexonomicon using VX Ace pretty close as I had on the MV version. In fact, I think it looks even better with Victor's lightning script.
The bad news is that I'm pretty sure it didn't help at all with the performance problems the MV version had, and again, if this is only with 1 short and 1 long animation then it doesn't look good at all for the full version (12 animations total)
So, now I face the decision of:
A) REALLY simplifying the animations and still use RPG Maker. And I mean real simple. Like 20-40 frames tops each animation, maybe even lowering resolution.
B) Switch to another game development engine, GMS or Unity most likely.
The problem with A, well, quality would drop a LOT more than I hoped for.
The problem with B, I really wouldn't be able to set a short estimate of time for the release of the full game, as I would have to deal with an engine I'm not familiar with and also I'd need to get more resources like tiles, etc.
I'm going to look into my options and come up with a decision in the next days. Meanwhile I'll leave links for the demo so you can test them out, see how it runs in your computers.
HOW TO PLAY:
Keyboard A key: use skill
Keyboard W key: skips looping scenes.
Shift: Run
You will see a bit of a lag when starting a new game, that's the game loading the shirt ripping scene. The BJ animation has lag the first time you get it, the second time should run normally. I did make a preloader event for that scene but it took a bit of time of black screen so I decided to remove it.
MEGA (No RTP version) (This version should run fine if you have RPG Maker VX Ace RTP installed in your PC)
MEGA (RTP version) (download this one if you don't have RPG Maker VX Ace installed in your computer or just want to be 100% sure it'll run)
Any feedback is welcome :)
