I always say slow motion is better than no motion...
Thankfully all of the assets needed for the VN's story mode are included without breaking the 1GB size limit. On account of the game's current size having a greater distance from that limit than expected, I am taking my original initiative to include "secret bonus material" that gets unlocked when you do certain things as you play - what they are, I will not say (cos it's a surprise).
I have also discovered that converting a Ren'Py game to a web build adds to the game's size (the demo went from 405 MB as a native folder on my computer to 445 MB for the browser) so I gotta give myself a pretty sizeable inner margin for how much material I can add. Between the extra goodies and the music, we'll just have to see what can fit! Speaking of music....
...it's slow but sure as I try to craft the right sound I want for the game's different story beats. I'm currently battling the "retroactive goldilocks problem" - you seemingly get something "just right", only to hear it as a finished product and be like "too hot, too cold, not it". It's certainly not doing my subscription any favors, but I can't give up so I will continue trying to cook!
See you soon with updates! In the meantime, please visit the game page and enjoy the demo and/or get other people to try it!
