Our Apartment v0.7.3.o: I'm doing a release I'm not happy with...


I've been trying to get this release out for over a month and new little issues keep coming up. 

At this point I need to move on but I can't go further months without an update. 

But also I don't want to force people to use a broken version.

So, for now there is an "Experimental" release, this is temporary until a proper release.  But if I end up in a similar scenario in the future it may be used. 

This experimental release has many issues. Mostly visual issues on PC, but on android there may be crashes or other bizarre behavior. 

Some examples:

  • So you now have 3 AA modes, TAA (recommended for very low end), STP (recommended in general), DLSS (recommended for Nvidia cards). unfortunately STP is the only option that works for most contexts. DLSS for some reason doesn't look right in HDR causing a weird noise. TAA may render the whole game black, just depends. For some reason on android STP started causing crashes, so I THINK TAA only works. I really don't know...
  • TAA for some reason causes serious color banding, I don't know why this happens. I can't seem to reproduce it in another project.
  • For some reason on android the game started looking very overblown unless the UI is up?
  • On my pixel 6 test device for some reason accessing settings will cause the whole UI to jitter. This seems to be caused by android capping the fps to 30.
  • Adjusting the max FPS may cause the whole game or the UI to jitter or flip upside-down repeatedly.
  • I just remembered i meant to tune the sex sim increments more, atm arousal is gained too fast for my taste...but i dunno and I don't wanna deal with it right now. It works which is better than before.
  • Lighting currently will not transition smoothly for now until a bug is fixed.
  • I'm probably forgetting things, but android suffers probably the most from weird random issues. The game performs fine on my phone, but there's just a bunch of random shit man...

I'm releasing this cause if I stay on trying to get a decent build development will freeze for even longer post holidays when I should be ramping up and adding new content. I hope this is a fine compromise; you can at least see some progress. I'm sorry about the quality especially for android. Hopefully various bug fixes come soon and next attempt at an android release will be better. 

Thank you for your patience

Please optimize this game for Android; it's unplayable even on high-end phones. Older versions didn't have visual bugs, unlike the new ones. Biggest issue is frame rate.

Can you make 2 versions in the next release and other future releases, so that one is already premodded with the IC patch? Por favor homie

it feels like you'd lose a lot of headache if you just ditch mobile support.

I second this. Screw mobile. Literally just running this stuff on Joiplay (with renpy/rpgmaker plugin for certain games) works a million times better than the mobile versions for me, in like 9 out of 10 cases. DDLC, as well as many other Eroges and Ero VNs and such.  It takes up more space, but you should just get a second device dedicated to this/make sure you have enough free space, as well as a 1 TB sd card, and as much internal storage as possible, if using just one device. Most people pay their phones off anyways by the time it's time to upgrade. And trading your phone in for a new one is pretty much a scam, or a waste at the very least, when you could just keep it and get a newer one. More space, less headache to transfer things which causes files to pile up and possibly slow down your newer phone anyway, preventing it from running at full speed.

Just my 2 cents.

Joiplay is really cool, but it only gaves u games on renpy and rpgm (not to mention shuffle). It's good, cause most of ero games are on these engines. But is this game? I thought it's on unity? Cause if it is I dont think my phone can handle winlator with this thing)

mac or linux soon plsss

Definitely prefer a not as great update over none at all. Just seeing updates every now and then assures me the game is at least still actively being worked on. I'm confident this will be an awesome game when it's done, it already has great potential.

Don't let it get to you, rough spots with coding happens. You'll get through it!!

The latest update for windows 11 messed up dlss.

MSAA, FXAA?

Neither work well for hair and certain other effects.
