spinny-0.7.3.7-1.noarch – Updates

• New Content: Huge thanks to Ross K. Foad for his contributions! Merchant Dubs voiced by Ross are now part of the game.
• Chathud Tutorial: As the chat HUD has grown more complex, a brief tutorial is now available from the title menu to help you get started.

Memory Requirements Notice
The game has become significantly more ambitious. While I’ve done my best to maintain support for older devices, performance is becoming limited on systems with only 6GB of RAM — especially outside of single-player mode. Here’s a breakdown of current recommendations:

• Minimum: 6GB RAM – playable, but expect freezes or crashes if other apps are running.
• Recommended: 8GB RAM – smoother experience overall.
• Ollama Server Support: 16GB RAM – required for running the local Ollama server smoothly.

If your device struggles, feel free to stick with older builds. However, please note that this game is designed to push hardware limits and embrace future capabilities.

Spinny 0.7.3.8-1.noarch – Update Highlights

• Improved Low-Memory Support:
  Spinny now supports low-memory devices again! By default, the game loads low-resolution assets for playable characters and NPCs, significantly reducing memory usage. This makes the game playable even on devices with 4 GB of RAM.
    Note: Functionality on 2 GB devices is untested and likely unsupported.

    Trade-off: To enable support for these devices, characters and NPCs may appear blurry or pixelated when zoomed in due to the lower-resolution assets.

• New "High Quality Mode" Toggle:
  A new option in the pull-down menu, "High Quality Mode," allows you to load high-resolution assets during gameplay.
    Warning: LOVE2D cannot check your system's available memory. If you enable this mode without enough free RAM, your device may freeze and require a restart.
• Updated Memory Requirements:
  • Minimum (4 GB RAM):
    Runs well with low-res assets.
    Retro assets and multiplayer mode not supported.
  • 6 GB RAM:
    Playable with high-res assets, but may crash if other apps are running.
  • Recommended (8 GB RAM):
    Smooth experience with full asset quality, multiplayer, and retro support.
  • Ollama Server Support (16 GB RAM):
    Required to run a local Ollama server alongside the game.
