CHANGING AUDIO FILE from Mp3 to Ogg
Project DreamOn Log 2
Analysis by DarthParkee (The coder)
Part of Project Inkwell, Renpy and Visual Novel development.
Changelog
- Change all the audio files from mp3 to ogg
Reducing the game file from 120MB to 98MB - NO SCROLL BACK to test the game performance, as well as testing the player's patience.
THE PLANS:
- Strategic Workflow: Increase the effective time management using The-job-to-be-done-canvas.
Allowing both artist and coder to work more effectively.
https://jobs-to-be-done.com/the-jobs-to-be-done-canvas-f3f784ad6270?fbclid=IwAR0J9uRxNX2_i1U2JTPMMq_MW6oE5VJsMw450wS8cQjJNTWUkpLVvOQ1Pb8&gi=e6d699bbe72e - Development of Asset Factory : A Python Code to generate Renpy's Image Class. Not only resize, but able to generate
different assets position, as well as reusable ATL and sprite Transform method in Renpy file. - I want to produce more than 220+ Characters assets before next year.
That's depends on the will of The Artist, but I'm confident that The Artist will do well. - HUD layout : As a "mockup" PNG to add "Immersion" layout of the game.
For example : The sound wave with the music name. To let the player know about my selection of music - More divisive story structure: Introducing the Social Link score, where player can "Check" the protagonist status
based on the player's action in the storyline. As well as the introduction of "META", which is the "Black n White" world
within character's heart - Characters' callcards : Inspired by Persona series. I told the Artist to create a nice background of the characters BIO.
But we'll see how it's turns out.
THE GAINS:
- I was able to reduce the audio files in the game zip file. From 120MB to nearly 98MB
The goal is to reduce the filesize or find any methods that help me compressed the game file to more or less than 50MB.
I expected that the next version that I upload will be even more compact, but PACK MORE PUNCH! - No slight loss of audio distort. Everything is the same as Mp3 sound
THE PROBLEMS
- Renpy Browser build still picking up the lag of game framerate due to its own HTML5 built limitation.
According to https://renpy.beuc.net/#faq, all I can do is to re-manage the game file to be as small as posible
to reduce the load of Light client device, including HTML5 and Mobile load. - However, while change all the audio file into Ogg, the broswer based game seems to work a little bit better.
But the stutter sound is worse than Mp3! - I need to Loop the music by reducing some of the large audio file to even reduce the framerate drop
or cut down everything in half of assets filesize about more or less than 50MB
