I cannot replicate either one of these bugs,

The first one seems to be either a display issue on your end, as it works perfectly fine on my single-screen laptop, or a issue with renpy not loading the code quickly enough, since the sprites and backgrounds are cut and resized on the fly.

Not sure if fullscreen or windowed mode causes it, but do keep me updated on the fix you requested from that other person!

The second one is definitely a bug, but a rather isolated one, for it works fine with my laptop. I suspect it may also be a bug with system locales and it messing up the code/filenames in turn.

If you don't mind sharing, what are the specifications of your system used to play the novel? Thanks in advance

Gotcha. My pc is kinda old, but it should run the visual novel fine.

CPU: intel I5-3470

8 Gigs of ram

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7500 Series

If theres anything else you need, ask away.

The ram and cpu meet the minimum, but your GPU may be causing the issues, for it seems to be very old. Given the fact that the scene you posted uses renpy's model based rendering to color-correct and apply effects to the sprites, I think it may not be playing well with your gpu. I will definitely be adding an option to disable the color correction and sprite effects since it is gpu-dependent.

In the meantime, have you tried integrated graphics, pressing shift+g using the ANGLE2 renderer, or the 32-bit version of the game?

I apologize that ikimashou is a pretty resource heavy vn, and that I overlooked the folks with lower-end PCs. I'll be working on troubleshooting this, thanks for the report CDN media

Sorry that my pc is garbage! >.<

This only seems to happen with newer renpy, as for example, the new renpy 8. I have tried switching to my integrated gpu, and it has no effect. the same with the 32 bit version.

Also, its not that Ikimashou is resource heavy, its that my pc components became out of the norm long long ago.

Hoping that Im atleast helping you avoid some future problems instead of making a lot of new ones. ;-;

no worries at all, one of my main goals is to optimize the game to make it more playable for lower-end PCs, something that I've had mixed results doing/testing.

gotta support everyone from our fanbase, no matter what PC they have :D

Also, The dialogue is mostly good, just a typo here and there. For example Truly written as Truely, or my favorite, in chapter 2.

(Also, as a bit of a praise away from all the bugs and stuff, good frigging job on the jokes in the demo so far, master class comedy)

The favorite "Maybe-or-not mistake" in chapter 2:

you found the extended prologue 👀... i didn't really have the time to proofread it, thanks for pointing those out

No worries, Take your time. Also, I want to show the game's opening cutscene to a streamer, do you mind if she shows the opening video on stream?

no problem, thanks for spreading the word!
