Fully Optimized - The Definitive Version
Hello All!I have spent the past several months learning about optimization and I'm proud to say that this new patch should show a major increase in performance. I have removed the 30FPS lock and will probably add a button in the future to play with 30FPS (as was the intended frame rate with this game).Patch Notes:-massive increase in FPS-removed nanite and more intensive post processing that may slow older PCs.-changed the monolith achievement-removed areas where Sam accidentally trapped players or glitched. Example: after the long tunnel or in the mini-maze-improved lighting and completely changed it in some cases.-Changed location of Eve's notes-added extra almond milk in areas such as blue room and light puzzle.Other than the future 30FPS lock that will be added this will probably be one of the final updates. I enjoyed making this game and look forward to starting on the next one!-Fred GrantRead full article on Community Announcements (grantfilms5)Patch NotesOfficial
Fully Optimized - 30FPS Lock
This is a fully optimized version of the game! This specific upload is locked at 30FPS, but I will have a 60FPS option added later today. -I removed Nanite and most lights are now baked. Some visuals have been improved and the game should run smoothly overall. -Note there is a slight bug making the end credits not show up, and I should have that fixed later today as well.Read full article on Community Announcements (grantfilms5)Patch NotesOfficial
FPS Increase and Monolith Fix
There should be an increase in overall FPS for players.Also, I realized that after the previous update the first two monoliths wouldn't work sometimes, so they should be working now. So, you should be able to unlock the secret achievement once again.Read full article on Community Announcements (grantfilms5)Patch NotesOfficial
