Alright so recently, I've been dealing with a lot of headaches specifically surrounding DLC on Android. Long story short, Ren'py 7.8.7 had a massive memory leak issue that made testing scenes with videos in them impossible. Tom, the guy who makes Ren'py, told us there would never be another Ren'py 7 release, so our best bet was to update to Ren'py 8, which uses a different version of Python.
Turns out, Estrada777, the guy who does the official Android port, doesn't yet have a system that can make Ren'py 8.4.0 play nice with the way he does his external save location, which is what allows Android users to use DLCs. Our best bet right now is to roll back to 8.3.7 and build everything using that. So over the next few days, we're gonna try that, and hopefully we can get all the testing done before it rolls out to T1 and the public. Fingers crossed there aren't any complications.
Massive thank you to everyone who's been signing up on the Patreon and SubscribeStar, especially since we had to remove payment options from Itch just to get reindexed. If this momentum keeps up, we're headed for bigger and faster updates to WCA and future games. Your support is what allows us to spend less time at day jobs and more time on the game.
