Snapshot V0.9966 is in VIP Pre-Access
Here comes a huge one that I've been working on secretly all summer. For whatever insane reason, many of you want to load ridiculous amounts of bonus content into the game. Activated all at the same time. But Snapshot was never built to handle TENS OF THOUSANDS of photos.
So this had to be changed. And that is done now. This update increases the number of bonus content photos your PC can handle by ~97 times!
So if your PC started to struggle when loading more than 10 packs, you should now, theoretically, be able to load 900+.
Also important: activating bonus content packs is extreamly faster. In my test case it went from 20 seconds to 1.7 seconds for a handfull of packs.
There is another use case covered that some kept asking for: You can now deativate a pack at runtime, without having to restart the game.
Oh, and the memory usage of the game is lower even without using bonus content. So that's good for everyone.
However, this came at a cost. I had to upgrade the Unity version, change the architecture of how photos are handled, and do all kinds of other wizardry in the background. Photos are now loaded into and out of your PC's memory more regularly. This is set up in a way that you shouldn't really notice while playing. I tested it. It SHOULD all work fine, but keep an eye out for issues that might need fixing.
This update will be in VIP Pre-Access this week as I fine-tune and expand the system.
And in case you are not excited about such technical stuff, don't worry: more Bonus Content and the next update are already in preparation. I'm creating some very special photos for Lewd Shores right now!
Oh, before you ask: This technical changes will come to Lewd Shores too. Eventually.
