Lost in You v0.2 progress update #5

We're almost there! Next week will mark the official launch of Lost in You v0.2! I'm really excited to get this new update in your hands and I'd love to hear what you think about it once you get to play it.

A new student joins the class

Yui joining the dorms (progress update #2) also means we have a new student in our class! Because of course the new girl would end up in our protagonist's class... why wouldn't they? Will her introduction go better than a certain blonde goofball's?

Android support

As mentioned in the last progress update, v0.2 marks the start of official Android support. Builds will be distributed in the following places:

• Patreon (subscriber and public releases)
• https://atrx.itch.io/lost-in-you (public releases)
• https://liygame.com (public releases)

The Windows/Linux/Mac builds ship with minimally compressed assets resulting in a build of the game that currently weighs in at roughly 1GB. Android limits the size of APKs to just 2GB, meaning if I want to keep supporting Android, compression will be a must down the line. So as to not suddenly reduce the quality of mobile versions with future versions, I've decided to compress images, videos and music from the get-go.

But with compression comes quality loss, right? Will I be playing a sub-par version of the game if I decide to play on my phone?

Whilst yes, there is technically a loss of quality, it is relatively minimal and would be very hard to notice at mobile screen sizes. There is essentially 0 noticeable quality loss on phones and whilst I don't own a tablet to test on, the emulated version of the game looks perfectly fine at tablet resolutions. If you're a mobile gamer, be sure to give it a shot!

See you next week!

$5 or above subscribers can experience all that Lost in You v0.2 has to offer next week, on Friday, May 5th!
