Obviously, I am going to do a new chapter, and I will focus on Eric at the moment (although there is a chance I might do one more for the update depending on how much work needs to be done. :) However, one thing I am noticing is the bloat of the visual novel. [olist]

Part of it is because some of those image files are WebP at 95% quality, which is the lowest I could go that meets my acceptable quality. That portion will be reduced with AVIF. For example, one WebP that is 445KB is 221KB in AVIF, which adds up. Currently, Renpy 8.1 sits at 86%, so there is still a bit to go before that is released.

Animations are actually a BIG cause of the bloat. Those embers you see in the main menu? That is actually 22MB worth of WEBPs. After experimenting and playing with some ideas, I will be changing it to WebM with specific quality and items to ensure that it plays smoothly. ;) The size reduction? That 22MB embers will be 6MB. So far, I have worked through some scenes with conversions and thus far seen a 20% reduction in overall build size. That release will likely come in the next couple of weeks so I am not hogging up all your disk space. :) [/olist]

A new year starts at the Oakland Institute where college students return for business as usual. Except, life is anything but usual with strange supernatural events going on. For one young man, the appearance of a fiery redhead shakes things up. For another young lady, she adapting to life after being imprisoned in a pocket dimension for most of her life. Oh, yea...a family of vampires seem to be making power moves that causes concern. A powder keg of supernatural energies ready to explode.

Fire of Life: New Day is part one of a series of planned Adult Visual Novels that follows five different storylines (fae, vampire. mage, shifter, and demon) that interconnect at different points. There is not a single main character, but you can customize it by being able to rename characters to your liking. It uses Renpy to facilitate the story, so the normal features (Replay, Galleries, and Save Options) are included. In addition to those features, there are content filters (NSFW and Content Warning) that lead to alternate scenes for individuals. :)
