v1.0.2: Performance hotfix
Lost Lakes » Devlog

Greetings hikers!
After solving memory issues at the engine level, I let it run on another computer, and found no performance degradation after 24 hours. However, there were additional memory issues beyond the engine that would prevent a similar experiment with auto walk engaged. The performance optimizations to make that happen in this release also allowed for some improvements to the foliage generators. There may be further optimizations to be made, but in the meantime you may find some denser areas or clearings.
Enjoy!
v1.0.2 changes
- Improved performance and stability while moving.
- Increased the overall density of the woods.
- Added small clearings to the trees.
- Extended the player light source at night.
- Reduced flickering of leaves.
- Fixed an error when starting a new lake.
