Optimization Part01

Published: December 10th 2021, 10:32:16 am

Hello, my patreons normally on Friday I post the dev road. but this time since the game are crying for optimization I couldn't do it

I need to fix the game before updating the game, I can't do new content or finish/polish the old one if the game is lagging So let's go with the good news ( Finally ) First, the game size on the first week of optimization decreased from 1.6GB to 1.1GB

a huge amount in my opinion for only 1 week.

I have removed a lot of videos to make this size possible and those who I chose to keep it I'm comprised then. ( still, a lot of things to remove )

about coding, more than 3 thousand lines are removed from the game with then more than 500 variables

as I said I'm an amateur programmer and I discovered a method to control all the game GC's with only one variable so I'm reprogramming the GC's to fit in this new method.

With this new method, I have improved BY A FUCKING LOT the memory use.

And I'm resizing the video/IMG to fit the frames as you can see on the image another good thing I finished my college obligations ( yesterday ) so I can spend more time on somatra For now on

My plan for this month is to do a special thing for Christmas but I won't promise anything I'll need 12~14 days to finish the Optimization

I believe the best Christmas present that I can give to those how to support me it gives a game how at least don't lag

But assuming that I'll have some time to spare which CG would you like to see? answer on comments

Note I'll make an update on the map system since they are lagging too much

Thank You for Your Support!
