Re: Compiled game too big - zip error

Hmmm, more specifically - do you mean that a.) if I use the ZIP64, you can't say if Linux / Mac would work, but Windows 7 and higher would be fine or b.) you are not sure if using ZIP64 will work with any system? (because in case of a.) I could release for Windows for now, and later add the Mac and ...

Re: Compiled game too big - zip error

So if I use the ZIP64 way (without re-packing under Windows), I will make that 3 GB zip file straight out of renpy, but my game's requirements will be as follows: - Win7 or higher - modern/recent Linux/Mac versions (unaffected by ZIP or ZIP64 choice?) If that's the only drawback, then I suppose I ca...

Re: Compiled game too big - zip error

Thanks! Will try it as soon as I can. But if you say that single zip file will have troubles in older systems - can't I then unpack that single zip file and repack the entire game using 7zip in some compatible setting (i.e. split into 2-part archives)? This would create two files, each well under 2 ...

Compiled game too big - zip error

Hi everyone, I have a problem where I want to make distributions for my game, but because it's too big, or rather because the zip can't handle larger files, I get the attached error. My game is around 2,8 GB. I'm probably looking for a way to split the .rpa file. My "pic" folder (with subf...

Re: Exploration in Visual Novels

My largest in-game map is well over 1000 locations, looking like this: http://t.co/2HdjeYx5xy Clicking the locations in the boxes gets you to that other location, and so on. Because there are so many, I also have a subway system, to move quickly between them. At certain locations you get into the su...

Re: What would you like to hear in a podcast about VNs?

Would like to hear episode one and two, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Ep.2 - Thanks for pointing this out, this may be an upload limit problem. I have made a mirror for it here: https://soundcloud.com/atp-projects/thebuzzvnp The audio is considerably less consistent in this one than in ep. 3 o...

Re: What would you like to hear in a podcast about VNs?

I really enjoy listening to the podcasts, but sometimes, I kind of zone out as I like to multitask a little. Would it be possible to give a script/written out version of the podcast? Not anytime soon, I'm afraid - we did discuss it, but apart from a transcript of a conversation not conveying the to...

Re: What would you like to hear in a podcast about VNs?

Hi everyone - we just released Ep.4 of our podcast, and in this one we talk about critique and criticism . This is actually part one of our three-hour talk, but it is quite self-contained. As usual, we welcome comments either here, on the site itself, or via Twitter (I will almost certainly respond ...

Re: What would you like to hear in a podcast about VNs?

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone, and keep them coming! We have more than 10 lined up already, and it's growing, which is really good. I'd actually like to just do everything at once, but the reality is, we have to pace ourselves and even very interesting topics may not come up for a few mon...

Re: What would you like to hear in a podcast about VNs?

I'd add that we're also interested in specific episode feedback and additions. Maybe we forgot to mention something, or didn't get something right - let us know, and we will talk about it in the next show, before the main topic. Our first released episode (actually Nr.2) is about why visual novels a...

Re: Solitude [English version]

Well, the summary I provided above is what I thought would be acceptable to reveal to the player as the minimum reasonable information, and the story is so short that any further information is more or less already a spoiler. And it's hard to know how much the author would have wanted to reveal (cer...
