as fun as this game is the dev does NOT know how to optimize shit. maybe 1000x1000 tiles and like 40 buildings that update on occasion and there's CONSTANT fucking lag spikes and freezes. its 2d the graphics aren't even that good!

@nhk At least they're trying. I rarely try things because I'm scared of messing up, like how they clearly don't know how to optimize things, if it were me I would recognize that and give up instead of trying due to trying resulting in an unsatisfactory product. That's why my life sucks, I think. I don't try enough. I don't fail enough. I'm afraid to fail so I don't try.

@Jazzy_Butts very relatble. me too. but im still gonna call it shit because im autistic about optimization and have like a dozen ideas how they fucked up and could easily fix things
@Jazzy_Butts number one, i'm pretty sure its doing all the animations that are offscreen and shit :akko_eew:
@Jazzy_Butts the game is great though highly recommend. its called forager

@nhk I kind of wish games were so realistic that you could hypothetically record your playthrough, and then upon review go somewhere else entirely in the world, and watch something like an animal or an npc just do their thing and it's all coherent and linear and is displayed and not done "kind of" or behind the scenes or under the hood. The whole point would be to start a world, do your thing, and then go back and watch how the world went about, the really cool part would be when stuff you did comes up upon repeat viewings. Like if you do enough heroic shit you might see an npc in their living room and they organically see a news story about you, and then even if you want you could follow that line all the way to the news station (which would be organically displayed and calculated in real time) and see the news station people doing their thing. Then you could follow the news guy home or something and his marriage isn't good and he jacks it to dark shit or whatever it's a simulated world the sky is the limit. That's my dream game. A perfect simulator.

@Jazzy_Butts maybe not that complex but i know some mmos and stuff have like, npc lifes and gossip and shit to really make you feel like just one part of the world and thats pretty cool
