Update Blog -Urgent Poll
🕑 Added 2023-05-05 14:57:53 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
Today's update blog is about an unexpected matter that I didn't see coming 😱 There is bad and good news.
--BAD NEWS 👀--
Remember the post I wrote 2 weeks ago related to me compressing the game by sacrificing 15% of the image quality? Turns out, it was a bad idea HAHAH...
I tried testing the game as usual today and I found out that the sacrifice was more than 15%, it's around 75% of the image quality. The game doesn't meet its visual standards, my standards, nor yours.
To give you perspective: Image A, B and C are in order from the lowest to highest resolution/PNG compression:
If you cannot see it clearly, here's a close up:
In conclusion:
- Image A has the worst resolution (you can actually see from her blushing face, there's a yellowish circle due to bad resolution/compression)
- Image B is slightly better, but overall not recommended, especially for you who plays it with full screen mode (I know I do), the damage will be more visible
--GOOD NEWS 🌺--
Fixed res C is the solid, final, and concrete solution. The size will not be as small as image A and B, but the image quality is sharp (even sharper than the ones we have been having all these months). Fixed res C also allows the original image's size to be reduced by 15%. But there's a catch:
- In order to achieve fixed res C, I have to go through the game's 925 images and apply the compression one-by-one
- I will need 7-14 days to finish the process
- The game will be delayed until it's done
Therefore, I'd like to ask your opinion. Because using the newest version (which is only 400MB) is currently a fail, my question:
Should I apply fixed res C but delaying the game? (It'll make the images look sharper and decrease the game size by 15%)
or
Should I leave the game as it is (last version is 932 MB) and continue adding content for the next update.
Your vote will help me clear my mind.
love you all!
-Cheers!
