2024-12-24 TEST
Performance: On multiple front the performance is completely different. Some stats on what we saw on our own machine.
-10 Seconds less loading at startup.
-4 Seconds on loading a save.
-Fluent Skipping!
-Less lags in general
-Fluent Travel with the car (Stamina now gets deducted while traveling)
-Sleeping once more better
-SMS open faster and are more responsive
I am not done with the topic. But those were the things I was able to improve without having to refactor some of the bigger things (Exception phone system. That was big, that was pain).
Features:
We added or re-added some Features:
Boosters Paradise. This will give you the current active multiplier. Depending on the boost it can also give you Money, or Items. Type “PotatoKing” to test it.
Activity type boosts stack with your Patreon Tier. Meaning if you are Silver, they are twice as powerful. If multiple boosts are active at a point, they multiply with each other. Meaning 2 boosts for strength that are x2, will be 2×2 = 4, if Patreon silver -> 8. Those boosts have a duration however.
The investments are not fully done yet, the system will make more sense if that is included as well.
As for the boosts themselves, the idea is that you can get some of them from marketing, some from the discord bots (to do) and some even in game.
Chat overhaul:
The chat finally got a design update. It’s a lot more pleasing to the eye.
There is an additional system for the timestamps. We might change that later.
Cross fade:
There is a new Cross fade effect when the time changes.
I might polish this feature still a bit.
Working:
The work events are now more embedded into the sandbox.
You need to farm points to get to see the next event. There is certainly quite a bit of polish needed on this front. But I have some ideas.
Sandbox
You now need cooking and planting, as well as leveling much more than you used. Also because the base stamina went down to 20.
In return running is unlocked a lot earlier. Remember Agility, Strength and Constitution (the most) give you maximum Stamina.
Food can automatically or manually be consumed for extra Stamina. We have new receipes, as well as new buyable items.
The sandbox itself will be polished in the coming weeks. But first I need to test and adjust the investments that we have.
We also added over 300 renders and some older scenes. Including:
New scenes with Mina & Ted at work.
New Fang Scenes.
Corruption based Scene with Melissa
Added the University
fish pond and fishing
Several bugfixes:
Fixed issue with loading
Fixed issue with pills (still hard to find atm)
Fixed issue with light path
Fixed issue with Scene Starter for Melissa
