Renpy bugs and size problems
🕑 Added 2021-03-06 20:32:13 +0000 UTCGuys, I bring you bad news and one little hope regarding the Android problem.
finished talking to Renpy's dev, so I'll explain how it went.
So, after sending them everything, we discovered that there was not just one problem, but two.
The first is precisely that of renpy, which caused installation malfunctions, black screens and problems with menus.
The second is about the size of CoR: when he found out that the game weighed 2.70gb and worked, he was shocked and amazed.
We have been lucky not to have any problems previously, but now....
The renpy bugs and the size of CoR mixed cause a lot of problems
So, the first solution we thought of was to create an apk of less than 500mb and convert the rest into obb files.
Big problem, renpy is able to convert an apk with just one obb, and CoR requires more than two obb to be divided.
There are other possible solutions to try, so I thought I'd do this, publish 0.44 on Tuesday, and over the next two days try all the possible solutions to make it work.
One of the possible solutions is to split CoR into pieces, but that is out of the question. Also, I will have to implement a cleanup of all the game files, I don't want to compress even more and affect the quality of the base game. The final solution will be to try a different compression mode than the one used so far.
Don't worry guys, I'll find a solution, but first of all I have to clean the base game.

I know a lot of Android apps that tend to be large start with the initial installation including a download manager, and it downloading assets upon running of the app. Is Renpy capable of such a thing? Might make things a bit easier in the long run.
