Mystic Lust 0.7.5 - More Fixes and Performance Improvements  (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the silence. I ended up spending the last two weeks working on several bug fixes that were reported in version 0.7.4. One specific issue was especially complicated to fix, so I basically spent most of that time discussing errors and possible solutions on the Godot forums.

Here is what changed:

FIXED

The repeatable sex minigame now shows the maximum animation level correctly and no longer allows the animation level to go above level 2.

Fixed an issue where the Umbrelis Root was not being saved in the inventory.

Reduced some dialogue preload entries to avoid loading heavier dialogues too early.

Fixed crashes related to large texture loading on some GPUs by using safer texture settings for character art, portraits, and animations.

Fixed some crashes/freezes when entering combat.

Fixed some scene transition timing issues.

Fixed all quests title and description

ADDED / CHANGED

Added a new loading screen system when loading a saved game to help prevent crashes.

Added a new loading screen before combat scenes to help prevent crashes.

Improved character texture import settings to reduce RAM/VRAM usage.

There are now two Windows builds using different graphics APIs: one using Vulkan and one using OpenGL. This should improve compatibility, especially for some integrated GPUs.

Added tutorial text to the artifact minigame.

About the graphics APIs: the default Windows build now uses Vulkan. However, since I know some machines may not work well with Vulkan, I also added an OpenGL version.

Please test which version works better on your machine. After that, you will know which one you should download in future updates.

Version 0.8.0 is already well underway. While I was sending 0.7.5 test builds to people who were having these issues, I also managed to make good progress on the next update. I will make a post soon showing what is coming in 0.8.0. I may still be able to release the first version of 0.8.0 by the end of the weekend.

Thank you all for your support! If you find any problems or have any suggestions, please let me know.
