0.1.8 Preview - Vault
Added 2021-07-16 19:01:01 +0000 UTCHi!
Vault has new expansions, 4 new tiers to be exact, and three of them have special effects!
I've said I might go crazy, and I did! You will be able to store these mountains of caps in your inventory without much trouble now as 6th tier of vault makes currency take no space in the vault! None at all!
7th tier on the other hand, increases materials space by +100%, making vault hold up to 350 items, and now the 8th tier (or grind tier as I call it 😅), it increases space multiplier by 100% for both materials & cards. Maxed vault will hold 600 items & 32 cards! Or if you play with 10x mod (from discord), well... 6000 items & 320 cards.. Holy shit, that's a.. LOT!
If you (by some miracle) run out of space, you can always exchange your items to caps or gold, as they will no longer take your vault space.

Now about android port. Some dev told me that android has a limit of 1GB install. I dunno if that's true or not, but I know from myself that amount of space on phone can be on low end, even in modern smartphones. If we try to install AL 0.1.8, we would need at least 4GB as you need install files, and space for installation.
A lot, I know. That's why I was forced to make 720p variant for phones. It will be much smaller, how small exactly I still don't know. I need to recode all 550 anims in HD resolution, and rescale 4300 images.
I basically need to make a new branch of AL. For now I've re coded all anims, and it took a lot of time.. It's good thing I know a thing or two about ffmpeg and windows scripts, so I automated the process, or I would be doing it manually for weeks. I've decreased size of anims from 3GB to 160MB, using Google standards for video quality (crf 32 for VP9 720p, -deadline best).
Taking proportions of current game size, I assume that 720p will take less than 300MB of space. I hope there will be no bad surprises here, after all, I still don't know how much images will take after scaling.
Thank you for support!
Stay sane, be horny, Astral Lust awaits.
