August Dev Blog (Patreon)

Greetings!

So as you can tell from the title, there's actually going to be some bigger changes outside of just the Tiers we reworked not that long ago (link)

Going forward we're going to be reshaping our approach and going into more in depth DevBlogs. Not only will it detail info for the month but it's going to be a decent stop gap before we even release a build and what has happened BTS in the month prior, like a newsletter.

Let's jump into it!

SU information

-New internal workflow for content creation. This will be felt by both Patrons and Sunset himself. This is mainly to get testing out sooner and to help us get the schedule back on track. As well it should help deliver more interesting builds. 

-Working on directing all new content to help Henshin to plug said content into the Android Builds. Old content needs to be optimized and changed which creates inefficiencies. Should help SU and the Android Build be on the same wavelength. 

-Teaser week for the next SU Build begins, August 27th. Expect your first screenshot of what to expect within it!

Android Build Information:

-Very happy with release and the Bug Reports we've received to fix up the issues.

-Biggest obstacle is device ram & cpu diversity. We're exploring what we can do as Ren’py loads the entire game, which creates a hard app size limit of 1.2gb.

-Entirety of SU should fit into the 1.2gb size but it will slowly limit what devices can play the build, as content gets added. This isn't a problem unique to GG but one that is felt by many dev's building large Android Ren'py games. 

-Current Roadmap is to introduce Prison break and Yacht event into the Android Build. No ETA.
