It's been a couple of months since the last update and with each day, my anticipation for the game only grows larger when reading the delvog. However, there is a big fear that has been lingering on the back of my mind for a very long time so if it is not a bother may I ask what version of renpy will the next update use?

Perhaps you have heard of this but the latest version of renpy is not compatible with many player old PC running on an old window and visual render. So before hyping myself to be disappointed, could you tell me if the team had or will port the game to the new version in the near future.

Hello demonchild, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that we are, indeed, upgrading to 7.4.5 for this build.

This is something I've been postponing for a long while because when 7.4.0 came out it was unstable as fuck and broke a lot of stuff in the game. I figured, well, we can stick to 7.3.5 I guess. But now that we're doing QA for the new builds, we bumped into a pretty big issue: we have to update in order to build the Android APK. So... if we have to choose between not having an Android version, or having the PC version not be compatible with Windows XP, we're going to go for the latter.

HOWEVER, 7.4.5 is more stable, and the only thing I've had to fix so far are some of the character sprites (renpy used to not check for the filename of subsprites that were immediately going to not be shown in layeredimages, now it does, but the fix for this is compatible with older versions) and the credits screen is broken, but that's about it, I was expecting it to be a giant mess.

Considering how little changes we've had to do to the game to accomodate for this, it wouldn't be a huge hassle for us to get 7.3.5 on the side an see if we can make a build for older machines. Can't promise it won't have a bug or two because we really can't spend a lot of time debugging a legacy version, but if you absolutely can't upgrade your PC or play the android version we'll try to make it work.

Thank you for listening to my rambling. It's have been rather sad that I have to stop following a lot of VN because of my PC issue and my phone is not much better either, so it makes me very happy that you would take this issue into consideration. That being said, even if you think it's not much of a hassle, I know you and the team have a lot of work on your plate so try not to overexert yourself on stuff like this.

Hope you and the crew have a good time developing Minotaur Hotel. Best wishes

Hey demonchild, as promised, here's a link to a 7.3.5 compiled version of 0.5 that might work on your PC, if the regular download doesn't. Again, I can't guarantee that it's bug free, but it might be useful to you. Hope either works!
