  1. I searched again might have stumbled on something that might work to combine the file into one.
    I gave it hardest test I could and combined ARIA and UMCC into one file. ARIA was first in line on the list so the games loads as ARIA. but everything in the game seems to be working ok so far. I also tried to combine some of the bigger UMCH files liek the music club and the hentai minigame. assuming it all continues to work, I’ll need to do kinda what I planned to do. and that is to predict where files will be placed.

    For ARIA this is easy and I should be able to make it one single swf file again.

    But for UMCH I will totally need to rethink how the game is structured. There are two ways to combine the swfs. concatenate and stack, UMCH currently requires a mixture of both to load external files.

    I might need to do it like UMCC kinda which used both also but kept all the files in the same swf. I’ll just need to render big chucks on the game separately and then concatenate them, then stack them… heh. it is a lot. But a solution to a issue that currently has no other solutions.

    I also need to try to render in a more recent version of flash.

    1. Does the loading time stay the same? You did suppurated the files so it loads faster.But hey if you find the math that does the same thing run fast with just living into 1 swf more power to you. I have seen other programs do what you do put turn it into a exe. They also give the file it’s own icon exe just to show off.

      I tried both of the new demos there looking good. Didn’t went to the detective role Aria went from beginning to end. In it Amp and Arielle also went from beginning to end. UMCH didn’t went from beginning to end. It’s the same demo kind of with new stuff. In short both didn’t crash on me making the demo unplayable. I’ll do detective to find bugs when ever I have free time.. god responsibility sucks.

      1. the upfront loading would be longer, but is in exchange for no loading at all during the gameplay. This would be most noticeable when playing in a web browser online.

        Also having it in one file is more user friendly because some seem to be forgetting to unzip the game files. if it was one file these issues wouldn’t matter as much.

  2. I found the current ARIA setup ok. Loading times really short. And my computer is really old (by average standards anyway).

    For patreon, I think example posts is a good idea. No other suggestions really. Just a welcome message pointing out your website (which you probably have already!)

    I get your concerns about the new ARIA game too. But I’m sure you’ll work something out. 🙂

    1. yeah it loads on if playing offline, the problem is online play hosted on a website using external files. That is where you will have delay loading the sex scenes and the hangar stuff.
