Reintroducing Android Version + Some Bugfixes
Hey everyone!
It's been almost a week since the new update, so I'll start with a sincere thank you for the kind welcome back after that long absence, and of course thanks to everyone who newly discovered The Farthest View and enjoyed it. I'll do my best to continue from there and keep up a more steady update cycle from now on. I'm still just one person though, so please understand if there's no sudden jump two regular monthly updates.
Anyway, I've used the last week to take a look into reactivating the Android version again, which was absent even longer than the main game. To keep it short, it was time well spent and the game is now available for Android again.
There have been some issues in the past with the game not performing too well on some devices. Since The Farthest View is developed in Unity, it does have some hardware requirements, which might be higher than the average Visual Novel. As far as I got to test it, any more recent mid range phone should be able to handle it.
As a reference, it ran perfectly on an upper mid range Nothing Phone 2 (Android 14, 12GB RAM), but even an ancient 2016 Honor 6x (Android 7, 3GB RAM) could still manage, if with longer loading times at startup, the occasional choppy animation and developing quite some heat (granted, it also had its trouble running RenPy games fluidly, so that's that).
While I was at it, I fixed some minor bugs, including a more severe one where the game could get stuck when trying to skip certain dialogues.
Since this doesn't really count as a content update, both desktop and mobile versions will be available right now.
If you'd like to get access to future updates two weeks in advance to the public release, as well as some other benefits, please visit the game's Patreon page.
Take care and thanks for staying around!
