Main Updates for Otome Game Series "1000 Princes":
1. "LingTian1" Changed to Static Images
Both the demo and full versions of the game originally featured short dynamic video clips. However, due to each clip being under 1 second and looping repeatedly, they caused severe screen jitter, leading to poor visual feedback from players. As a result, all 1,050 MP4-format video clips in "LingTian1" have been converted into static images.
Originally, the video length, frame rate, and size were deliberately reduced to meet Google Play's AAB size limit. This compromise negatively affected visual quality. Moving forward, I will focus on enhancing the quality of static images in the game.
What's the Difference Between "LingTian1" Demo and the "LingTian" Clips in "1000 Princes"?
Both versions allow players to experience part of the gameplay. The "LingTian1" demo provides a continuous portion of the game—from Chapter 1 to Chapter X—with complete story progression, branching options, and full functionality.
On the other hand, the "LingTian1" clips in the shared route of "1000 Princes" feature disconnected romantic scenes from the game. These clips are not continuous, and option buttons do not display branching storylines.
2. Icon Update
To make games easier to identify, I've updated the icons. For example, "LingTian1" now features a solo portrait of the prince. His name, such as "LingTian", is displayed at the bottom of the icon in the game's main UI color. The top right corner features a sequence tag like "1". If it's a demo version, a green diagonal ribbon appears on the top left.
The "1000 Princes" game, which serves as the shared storyline for all the princes and the player, has a group photo icon featuring multiple princes. The bottom label reads "1000 + Crown", and the background is rainbow-colored, representing the union of all princes. The top right corner includes a rainbow sequence tag. Demo versions have a green ribbon on the top left.
