Plans for the Month

Added 2021-02-05 06:14:08 +0000 UTC

Howdy all,

As you no doubt have seen, the days since the February builds have been fairly challenging on account of issues with the latest Ren'Py release. We've managed to fix some of these issues and close a number of others, with all of the closed issues so far being problems with Ren'Py that we have no control over. Naturally, we're going to continue to try and improve things where possible, but in a lot of cases, it's simply a harsh reality that we're going to have to wait for Ren'Py to update and fix the problems. If you're having problems, please check the Issues with February Builds post, and if your issue is not there, please let us know so we can look into it.

As a side note, we have also now established a baseline requirement for Android devices, requiring that they have 2GB or more of RAM. Devices with less will probably not work, and devices with 1GB almost certainly not. Sileo itself, as of 0.21b can use 800MB~ between the RAM and VRAM which are combined on Android platforms, hence why 1GB simply won't cut it anymore. We haven't stopped Sileo from running on these devices mind you, but like I said, they're almost definitely not gonna work.

Anyway, that stuff aside, I wanted to share our amended plans for the month ahead. Naturally it was our intention to spend the month not unlike the last, producing 3 new days for Tai's route. Of course with everything that has happened, we've already lost some time. Furthermore, this situation being what is has been has highlighted some things we would be wise to address before proceeding to prevent and help us to respond to similar situations in future. We'll talk more about specifically what we're doing at a later time, as we're still working on the intricacies of these plans.

We're still going to aim for 3 days. It is however a possibility that we may end up releasing only 2. It will depend on how things go and how much work each day requires. So... wish us luck, I guess!
