Optimization part 02

Published: December 17th 2021, 5:40:37 pm

Hello, my Patreon Today with part 02 of the optimization.

1.1GB to 747MB I still have a lot of pics and videos to compress. I always try to keep medium~high quality, I predict when everything it's ready will be around 380MB~500 MB at maximum.

I finish the optimization of all GC's. Now it's time for the main script with help of a senior python developer he gives me some ideas on how to split my game.

One of the main reasons that the game are lagging it's because only one screen takes care of the map(This make the screen overloaded with information) So he teaches me how to split this screen into several smallest ones 

In practice instead of the map being read all at once, it will be read in small's instances, greatly reducing the impact on memory.

I'll divide the current game into 5 areas being;

1-  Hotel (first and second floor).

2- The streets outside the hotel.

3- The shopping center west and north and the back alley.

4- Edgar's bar.

5- Somatra North wall inside and outside.

Well, another thing that's I have to do is remove the capacity to invade houses for 3 reasons.

1- It's was poorly done, now I can do a lot better coding.

2- I'm already developing a mini-game for this.

3- The Mc Alisa needs to create courage/motivation to start assaulting homes and this will only happen if she follows the path of a criminal who will start in events at Edgar's bar with Arya as the protagonist NPC. (

I've already written the entire story arc)

Working with code 8~9 hours a day is pretty stressful (I only made to do all of those upgrades in somatra cause I'm on vacation) so to relax a little I make 5 remakes you can see on images.

1- The encounter with the Aurora for the first time

2- When you're going to get the uniform from Edgar in his room.

3- Edgar's office at the bar.

4- When Emily comes to visit you for the first time.

5- Boom my cherry Ella ( 40% )

Well, that's pretty much this.

I'll work with the division of maps, compression of the missing files, and testing the next week.

I wish you all a great Christmas and new year. Cheers /o/

Thank you for your support.
