Major issues with unity, engine change, patrons' will.

Beyond Unity's crazy recent drama, using it for this project has been rather troublesome in general, and recently I learnt of a major issue.

First, I noticed ram usage kept growing as I played (uh-oh)...
I tried using the commands that should clear assets from ram, but it didn't work (big uh-oh!)...
Then I learned that the VN engine I'm using (Naninovel) is unable to unload assets due to a recent bug (?) in Unity, that Unity devs are unwilling to fix (MASSIVE uh-oh).
This sounds like a critical issue that will eventually make the game unplayable.

So, I'll have to rebuild it in Ren'py!
As far as I know, it should make the game playable on PC, Mac, Android, Linux and perhaps even on a web browser! All without issues (I'd hope).

It'll take a lot of time and effort, but considering all of your kind messages so far, I believe this project has potential, so I'll start the conversion in November 2023.

Coill City now has its own monthly subscription Patreon, CoillWorks!

For $5 you get immediate access to the latest build! Patrons can also vote on character/direction polls (vote weight linked to patronage and grows over time) and higher tiers even gets you monthly NSFW art packs in HD or 4K!

I won't be able to make this project without patron support and feedback, so please consider becoming a patron of Coill City's new simple monthly subscription Patreon.

Well, that's all for now! I hope you will enjoy the new events of this update!
