Hello everyone.
I created this poll because, with the increasing size of The Fiery Scion, I will sooner or later have to do something about it.
Since you are the people who support the creation of the VN, I think it's normal to ask for your opinion first.
Now, I thought of several ways of dealing with it:
-Compressing the images even more. Easy for me to do. Of course, the images will have more grain, a few artifacts, and will be blurrier. On the other hand, the graphics of The Fiery Scion are not the best in the first place so it will not be an enormous loss. But as the VN expand, the quality could drop significantly.
-Making two versions: A compressed and a regular. More work for me, which means less time to work on the updates. But still a reasonable workload. And people with bad internet can chose the regular, the others can have a lighter download.
-Cutting up the VN in parts. Different games, that share the same saves.
It should be easy to do, with emphasis on "should", but there's a possibility that the first version will have some bugs. It's more cumbersome, but the advantage is that you can have a smaller file size when the new version comes out without reducing the quality. The downside is that it is more work for me and that you will have to save at a precise location of the save will bug. This means that some players will not do it and I will have to do support for them, which means, again, less time for the development of the VN.
Now, I still have some time before I have to take a decision. And I want to be clear: I make this poll to have an idea of what you want, but I reserve the right to not follow the poll results. I probably will, but if for example cutting up parts of the VN ends up too complex, I will perhaps abandon the idea.
Thank you very much for your feedback, and as always, I wish you a fantastic day!
