Yes, because it's about split between folks downloading compressed/uncompressed for a lot of games, if not around 40/60, a lot more people download compressed versions than people think. Numbers can be inflated though by people posting them on other sites though.
You can be sure for next release I will post original and compressed version. To have more options.

And for people like me, who are on Android. Games that don't have a port, the smaller the download the better since we have significantly less storage space so compressed versions are great.

Hi...here's a few changes that I put together if you want to see better visible dialog text.

Install: Extract the zip, then merge the game folders together. Run the title and make the changes as shown below.
Enjoy.

(Here's an example of the textbox and font changes, along with the slider set to 50%.)

(This image below shows two changes made...added 4 textbox choices, and dialog box opacity slider.)
View attachment 3375620

(I used a black brick image, so I could better see the black text box choice in the preference section. As well, I view AVN's on a huge ass TV...so I like to use my dark background.)

(Now the last thing to do...Changing the hard to see default font, hit shit A or just your A key, then change the font to DejaVu Sans.)

Yeah I’m getting what you mean. But choice where you scold them is yet to happen, background story for sis will happen in one point on either coice you chose, so down the line even if you chose to be more forgiving to girls the story about sis will happen. It would be more logical if everything was finished. And about many choices for Naomi; she is good friend and she will have effect on story of couple main characters so how Mc chose to deal with her will have impact primarily on Abbi and that will start butterfly effect to other Li’s.
Of course choose the Naomi scene. Be a good father that care for his little daughter's friends. Deeply care.:BootyTime:

Great to know! Just replayed a 2nd time since you said to try all choices and it would be really sad to miss that amazing sister sequence - most people don't try all variations & just pick what feels right to them (no choice&consequence reason for the MC to not have the memory just bc he was harsh).

I know, it’s hers and Mc background story, that will get expension in future updates, because you know the wey it ended. Mom will also be part of the journey. I will also take advice from people here and write plan I have for the game. And finaly hope for support because that would help a lot, I am motivated to make something cool it would be nice to get something back for it, so I could focus to make even better things in future. :)

is there anyway to change the font, cause I don’t have the best eye sight and it’s hard as hell to read &white text on a white mat, there’s no way to read it. Got to be honest I’m having such a hard time reading the text I’m just skipping through it to get to sex scenes now

I finally got a chance to play this game and unfortunately it left me in two minds. On one hand, I do like the premise and I like the aspect of family being good to each other like that. But on the other hand, I really didn't enjoy the constant flashback to the past that breaks the flow and feels like it's just a way to have some sexy scenes because the current timeline already locked the MC into being older and married with kids.

I'll probably come back after a few more updates just to see whether the flow of the game improved by then.

Compression drops the quality of renders there is no way around it.
Converting PNG to WEBP with 90% quality (or maybe even 85%) does not introduce noticeable drop in quality. Check for yourself. And the sizes go several times smaller.
If there are some specific pictures like fur with tiny threads, and you want to keep the image sharp, use higher setting (95% quality). Even lossless WEBP are smaller than PNG, by the way. So nowadays nobody uses PNG in such cases. (Only except for small pics like buttons, as in those cases compression doesn't really make files smaller).

Look a few posts above. Another way to set a larger font with outlines etc., see this file:

https://attachments.f95zone.to/2023/12/3229219_say.rpy

Drop it into 'game' subfolder of any Ren'Py game, and in most cases it should work. You can open it in any text editor to review the content and make changes if you want.

PS. That version is not the best. Here's a more thorough mod, it works in more cases.
Also don't forget that you can press Shift-A to change font face and font size.

It’s needed as introduction to some characters that will soon be in the game. And because Mc have some life defining choices in the past I use this as a tool to bring some emotional weight. I will soon laid out the plan for a game so future fans and supporters could get a bigger picture. Would that help?

I did do this for first release and tbh I didn’t like the results. That is why I chosed to make high quality version. And when I get to make compressed one I plan to do it quality rediction via photoshop from 12 to 10 this will make size much smaller with minimal loss. webp looks bad imo, but then again I play it on 43 inch 4k screen meters and half away from my eyes. So I notice everything On a side not I know you will say how crazy that is but I play arpg a lot and I like to enjoy all the little details in texture work and immerse myself fully. Also does anoyone here can’t wait for there is no rest for a wicked from creators of Ori.

OK, just a little test: in v0.1 (that I still have here) you used high quality jpg. For example, take episode1/visitadd9.jpg. Its size is 4.24 Mb. Convert it to webp 95%, using XnView. The visual quality of a new file is more or less the same. The file size is 1.59 Mb (-62%).

And it's not just about download speed etc., it's disk space too. When you have over 1000 games on disk and want to save space, electricity, mother nature etc., compression is kinda no brainer.

I'm not talking about special over-compressed version, it's about normal marketed version. 95% quality is more than adequate for all those texture details.

Ten seconds into the game and it is very clear that first thing that needs to happen is to fix the text color/text box. It is nearly impossible to read some of these pages...and yes before anyone says it, I see all the people posting fixes for this but should not have to download a bunch of extra files to fix something that should have shown as a huge flag for the dev when they could not read their own game
