Version 0.8F.0 Update - Major Performance Fixes & Battle UI Overhaul (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone!
The game has been updated to version 0.8F.0 and this one fixes a lot of stuff.
First big thing - I fixed around 450 videos I missed during the recent up- and downscaling. Those could cause loading issues on some browsers. That should now be fully resolved, plus you should see better FPS in a few scenes I missed before, including the hotspring scenes.
The new Lust attack animations for the femboy MC are also in.
Now about performance - before, videos were absolutely bloating the GPU. The root cause was battle animations getting stuck inside the video cache. That issue is now solved.
On my RTX 4080 Super:
Chrome now sits at around 35% GPU usage during battles with the 60 FPS version
Brave browser is even lower
Normal passages are around 5-10% GPU usage
Huge improvement
However, there is still one limitation - the video cache cannot be cleared from the App itself (at least I have not found a way yet). Because of that, I decided to go back to a full browser-only version. That is totally fine now since all the original reasons for adding the App version are gone anyway 👍
The Battle UI was also completely overhauled. This was necessary to fully fix the cache problems, but I used the opportunity to improve things further 🛠️
The system itself is still familiar, but it is no longer tile-focused. It is now character-focused:
Characters have predefined positions
You can move them into lust, support or attack slots
This saved a lot of space, which finally allowed me to add something that was requested multiple times 👀
👉 Mercenaries can now join battles
Instead of randomly triggering their lust animations, mercenaries now have their own container that loops their animations. Attraction now affects the lust damage they deal, and in the near future this system will be expanded for additional mechanics too.
The game can be updated and downloaded via the Upgrade.bat too so no need for a full download (half of all animations changed though).
