The filenames are the only problem here, if you fix that first you should have zero problems with other platforms.

A little bit of foresight saves you a massive amount of work later, so getting it right the first time is worthwhile.

At the very least, try to be consistent with filenames moving forward to reduce the potential amount of work in the future.

This problem could be fixed with a simple script that rewrites all the paths but I really shouldn’t have to patch your game for you, especially for a problem so easily avoided.

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them. I just hate to see people walking into easily avoided pitfalls.

A lot of plugins use a very specific case-sensetive naming for images so I need to be very carefull with the smallest change.
I will impliment the change eventually. But for now focused on trying to finish next update as soon as possible and make all the functions work at least on one platform.

I still struggle with constant crushes that happens every 30-40 minutes and can't find why it happens. Because sometimes it didn't happen at all.
And famous forest fairy accident. Why it crushes the game when only girl version of the MC present?
I have no ideas.
Sadly most of the time I presented with a choise to work on game and finish new scenes, locations, etc to put a new version for supporters on Boosty, OR searching for a way to get rid of the old bugs.

And this year in addition to upcoming update, I took on an additional little project that should be finished in February.

I really appreciate your advice about lower-case naming.
Just need to make sure the ungodly amalgamation of plugins I use will not hang itself on it's own code when I start changing file names.

If the crashes happen after a somewhat consistent amount of time, it may be your computer running out of memory. This could be easily checked by running a monitoring program (or just task manager) while playing the game.

RPG Maker is not what I would call memory-efficient and a plugin could be leaking memory.

I have seen probably only 10% of the game so I can’t speak personally on any other bugs, but after fixing all the filenames in img/layers/ I’ve had no other gameplay-affecting issues with what I’ve played.

To be fair, you're running on Linux, which is just a far cleaner and more efficient operating system (usually).

I’ve taken to comparing the Linux desktop to an indie game funnily enough.

It can be a little janky but it’s a work of passion and you really feel that in the end product in a world where every operating system is just adware now.

There’s also just cool shit over here you aren’t going to see elsewhere. Well cool if you like filesystems, virtualization, networking, or other nerd shit. 😌

I just like that I can talk about door hardware and camera equipment next to my computer and not immediately be served with ads for door hardware and camera equipment.
