The Proteus Effect 0.4.2 is Released!

Good to know, I really like your images and having them in the game would add something more to my gaming experience.

I might do something like that. A couple of people have requested it, and it shouldn't be very hard to implement. I doubt it'll be in 0.5, but it might make it into 0.6.

I got a question, i would like to know if you ever think about adding a image to the side of the game screen with Alex character and what he is wearing. Or maybe a window in the menu, where you could actually look at the character in the team their stat and maybe a picture (a 3D picture) of them.

Ah, gotcha.

Most of what I said was food for thought.

Some of the stuff you're talking about may happen. I want to be very careful how I handle the whole 'slave' angle, though. It has the potential to make the game a bit dark if handled badly (which I don't want).

Another comment. I wonder what Ana and Alex will think if they see a female orc with an big belly.

There won't be any scenes where they're in the virtual world and I show what (if anything) is happening to their real bodies. I was about to say more, but I don't want to talk about long term plot plans just yet.

Will there be a cut scene in the future back in the real world to see what they are doing for good or bad for the MCs, and if their bodies are changing?

If the two of them used the "wine" at the inn, I think Ana would want Alex to take care of the morning wood and Alex would do it submissively depending what happened at the camp site. 2. I would think one of them would ask the inn keeper for another bottle for a later special occasion before they leave the city. 3. I know this is a bit of a spoiler question, but after Ana Registers her slave will Alex need a new outfit or jewelry? And not knowing this world but the orcs may think Alex is not a slave name and the name should be more like a pet name. So there might be a scene, (good place to introduce the society norms), of an argument during registration about the name and each time Alex tries to talk the orc or Ana tells her to be quiet. Ana may begin to suspect if she doesn't discipline her new slave for social infractions their cover and her idenity may be exposed.

Yeah, Windows 10.

I have a hypothesis about what the problem might be, then. Once I think of a good way to test and/or address it, I might hit you up for test builds if you're willing. You play on Windows?

1. Only new areas. 2. I shut down Chrome when I play because it takes up a lot of RAM, but other programs such as Skype, Excel, etc. are open. 3. HDD

That’s very interesting. A few questions: 1. Is it only the new (0.4) areas where you experience this, or do you see it in previous updates’ areas as well? 2. Do you have other programs open when playing? 3. Does your laptop use an SSD or HDD for storage?

By the way, I forgot to report because back then I didn't pay too much attention to it, but replaying 0.4, I noticed that the game tends to... "skip" quite a lot when playing on my laptop. It didn't really occur on 0.3, but if I enter, exit houses/areas, or I'm playing through renders, the game freezes up on me for like half a second.
