Hello! Steam version of Yoiyami Dancers has been released, and within a day we're already seeing so many people leaving reviews! We're reading every one of them and we'll continue to do so as long as we reasonably can, so that we know what players think about the game and make it better. Thank you very much for your support and honest opinions!
In this post I'd like to address some problems that got mentioned on reviews and threads.
Optimization
A major problem has been reported where the game fails to load graphic assets and either freezes or goes into an unplayable state.
This problem stems from the fact that we weren't really thinking about users with low-end to mid-range computers enough during the game development, and this resulted in a pretty bad optimization.
We're definitely looking into the problem and addressing it, but it may take some time to do so. We apologize for the inconvenience, especially to the people who bought the game and not being able to play it.
In the meantime we'll be changing the minimum system requirements on the store page, specifically Memory and Graphics, in hopes that less people are affected with this problem while we're preparing the fix.
Previously:
- Memory: 2 GB RAM
- Graphics: Shader Model 2.0 compatible, VRAM 512MB
From now on:
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Shader Model 2.0 compatible, VRAM 2.5GB
(Please let us know if you satisfy these requirements and still the game fails to launch properly - or the opposite case of having below the requirements and the game running well)
Demo version
We're preparing the demo version for this game. For now the demo can be played until the stage 2 of scenario #1.
It should've been available on the day of release, and the problem above taught us the sheer importance of it. The demo version should be available in a few days, depending on how quickly Valve accepts the build.
Resolution Settings
Currently the game doesn't have a way to change window size or the resolution, and instead it has a single "FULLSCREEN - YES/NO" option in the config menu (with added fun of it requiring restarting the game!). For a 2022 game it's almost unacceptable, considering that quite a few people use monitors larger than full-HD resolution.
The following updates will add some more options around this, such as changing resolutions and toggle full-screen mode using a borderless window. This feature was being worked on, however I couldn't finish it within time and we needed to release it without the feature.
That's it for today - again we appreciate your support! I'll leave more countdown pictures here.
Rumia is cute!
