Renpy and size problems


Guys, I bring you bad news and one little hope regarding the Android problem.

Finished talking to Renpy's dev, so I'll explain how it went.

So, after sending them everything, we discovered that there was not just one problem, but two.

The first is precisely that of renpy, which caused installation malfunctions, black screens and problems with menus.

The second is about the size of CoR: when he found out that the game weighed 2.70gb and worked, he was shocked and amazed.

We have been lucky not to have any problems previously, but now....

The renpy bugs and the size of CoR mixed cause a lot of problems

So, the first solution we thought of was to create an apk of less than 500mb and convert the rest into obb files.

Big problem, renpy is able to convert an apk with just one obb, and CoR requires more than two obb to be divided.

There are other possible solutions to try, so I thought I'd do this, publish 0.44 on Tuesday, and over the next two days try all the possible solutions to make it work.

One of the possible solutions is to split CoR into pieces, but that is out of the question. Also, I will have to implement a cleanup of all the game files, I don't want to compress even more and affect the quality of the base game. The final solution will be to try a different compression mode than the one used so far.

Don't worry guys, I'll find a solution, but first of all I have to clean the base game.

And this was an old announcement that many people didn't read, given all the messages I got about the android situation.

Current status:

Problems fixed, renpy developer has fixed the bugs, the only thing that remains is the android version has 4 ways to work.

The build comes out on Friday, it's really close.

I know for pc(if not mistaken) you can have people save at a specific time and have and update for the game except cut all content before hand out and just build that file up then repeat. So that could be done on android not for sure, Killer7 that's working on My New Family did his game like that so if you can try and talk to him about it.

Obvious, and yet, you still thought asking that question was somehow a good idea.
