A test version of Siren's Call running on Electron can now be accessed in the beta branches. This new version may have some compatibility issues with the older versions of Siren's Call, but the benefits are as follows:
*Major performance fixes across the board as a result from switching from nw.js to Electron. Loading times improved, less lag, reduced ram usage, ect.
*Potential for a mac version of the game that can theoretically run on m1 chip mac computers. (more testing required)
*Most, if not all, of the bugs from Visual Novel Maker should be fixed.
It is recommenced that a backup of your game files be made or you complete Siren's Call before testing this version. If memory errors or game corruption occur however, you can access the developer scene select by pressing the escape key on the main menu.
Assuming there are no major bugs or issues with the game after upgrading to Electron, this build will likely go live as the default version shortly. Until then, it can be accessed in the beta branches. The password needed to unlock this branch is halfanapress
If you encounter any bugs, please report them to our game's official discord channel (https://discord.gg/cqCSSgqh85) or make a post on the forums here.
I hope you enjoy this new, smoother version of Siren's Call! Stay cool!
