Hello, I've tried playing Project Halloween, unfortunately after clicking play on the main menu, not only the game, but my PC became incredibly laggy/framey. Shouldn't be an issue that would occur with a hex core i7 processor, a GTX 1050 graphics card & 24GB ram  for a visual novel (on Windows 10 and downloaded the Windows version of the game), any help with this would be thoroughly appreciated as I really want to play this game to its fullest. :)

(Tim) Hi FlareBlitzed, did you encounter this issue with the newest version of the game? There was indeed a lag issue with the initial release, as we did not properly downsize our assets for distribution.

Hello Studio Madeline Chai, this issue occurs on the currently newest version (1.0.2) where both my computer and the game lag severely after the main menu when the girl introduces herself. Uncertain if Renpy can handle the assets placed, some people's computers in VN chat rooms have not had this issue, where others (and myself) have this lag issue. Thank you for your quick reply btw! :D

(Tim) I'll look into this and get more opinions. My computer has had no issues, so I will seek feedback from colleagues on other machines.

Cool to hear, thank you for investigating into this as frame rate & how much a game is consuming ones CPU & RAM is a problem when the game consumes too much. :)

(Tim) So far, I've not been able to replicate this issue or get anyone else on the team to. We're all Windows and Mac users, with either 8GB or 16GB ram.

Could you refer me to the community you're in where multiple people have reported this problem? I fear that this might be out of my technical expertise, but I still want to see if I can fix this outside just removing the noise/artifacts effect.
