PUBLIC RELEASE v0.6.3!

The problem there was RenPy autosaving to file on each dialog (I'm not exactly sure in fact if it was because it was on each dialog, but I remember it's because it basically saved way too much), and to fix this Arc disabled the automatic saving and instead do it in his code himself now

Alpha is an early release, Beta is it's closer but not done, Release Candidates is nearing Final, then after those things generally are considered Finished or Complete. Given how much content isn't in the game yet I would say it's no where close to done (Based off current percentage completed). As of 0.6.3a unless I missed some events: Current Hearts Tally Annie only has 1 heart, Asteria has 2, Chastity is 0, Chloe has 1, Emma has 3, Gwen is maxed 5 but doesn't really have any events that warrant it (Auto Awakened), Jessica has 3, Kana has 3, Lily has 4, Luna is blank, Lyx has 2 beakers (rough equivalent), Madison is 0, Morgana has 0 water drops (rough equivalent), Pixie has 4, Qarinah has 1, Roxy has 1, and Veronica has 2. Main Girls Total Hearts 17 * 5 (Max) = 85 Current Hearts 32 / 85 = 37.6 % Complete Then there are the Leads that aren't close to being resolved. Still don't know anything about the MC's mom which this adventure began with finding out (Will we find her dead or alive? No one with answers is talking to keep the mystery quagmire going) Then there is the pregnancy content that is planned with currently no way to start that quest to impregnate them all :P Arc also said there are plans for children with the Main Girls. If this sees the light of day then 17+ more characters will be introduced since one child for every Main Girl. There are the Fey/Eldritch currencies that do nothing right now. Maybe they won't serve a purpose but that would be rather lame. We haven't been able to buy the Church, College, or 2 other mystery locations. The Farm's Daycare is currently empty and the Manor's East Hallway along with Dungeon have no content yet. Total Properties Displayed 7 Currently Purchasable 3 / 7 = 42.9 % Owned Who knows how many more outfits will be available along with room decorations. Chloe has the most outfits at 7 so far. If the gui layout doesn't change it looks like there might be a max of 12. 42 Outfits acquired so far With 17 * 12 = 204 42 / 204 = 20.6 % Outfits Acquired This is theoretical until this game is actually done but roughly 33 % is currently accessible. A year in development so maybe 2 years to go. Now Hearts Complete doesn't mean the girls are done after that or else Pixie is nearing her finally. More Properties could be added as the current layout has room for 10 and this doesn't take into account upgrade features. Outfits well I'm not sure what the cap for each girl will be and it's hard to put a real Percent Complete until the real final total is known. Hope this rambling of info was entertaining.

Just because i am curious and experienced lag/stutters myself - what was wrong and what was the fix?

I'm not sure if I'm tripping but in the main title screen I noticed the word Alpha. So im wondering, does that mean you're closer to finishing the game or do you think you still have a while to go till you're done?
