That was actually my initial idea, and it doesn't involve any DRM.
May I ask why you don't like the idea?
If I may say something to this idea - I probably understand your intensions, but me and maybe others too, don't like applications, which communicate with unknown internet sources/servers behind our back. I believe your intensions are honest, but I don't like that idea of yours.

Hm, valid point.
Didn't cross my mind to see it that way, but yeah ... I do understand your reservations.
I'll give this some more thought. Thanks.

click on the black screen several time after the logo goes away, sometimes it will load and sometimes it locks up and have to start again.

Just to add my voice to those dissenting about the launcher.
Another way to deal with this is to optimise your work. I've not seen skunked version of this but maybe @Pepé Le Pew or I think @bossapplesauce does it too, could check it out and see how much could be saved. Or drop them a line and ask how they do it.

I've read this 3 times and still don't know what you're asking me to do? :)

He writes about better compression of images to reduce the download size.
A "skunked" version would even have a loss of quality (resolution) to reduce the download size.

I was suggesting to the dev they think about optimizing their game as a way to avoid implementing a patcher. I thought you had optimized other games in the past.

If so, I was wondering if either you or Pepe could have a look and see how much it could be sensibly reduced by.

I also suggested the dev to get in touch with one of you about techniques in doing it.

is there a walkthrough for this game?
If not i hope i see one eventually since there are already quite a few different paths to the game

The story & models are very good. The only thing i really wish was that the UI was better. Maybe make at least like 6 or 10 saves on 1 page & have multiple pages. That way i could keep different playthroughs on separate pages & not be confused

1. Did you copy the new game into the old game folder?
2. Did you unpack the game before you try to run it?

yes i unpacked it and i dont believe i have an old folder
I'll throw an OpenGl version together in a few minutes. It may be related to the fact, that Unity decided not to support anything DX9 related. So if your GPU can't handle DX11, then you're basically fucked over in Unity these days.
But if OpenGl can make it work, I'll build those as well in the future.
