🕑 Added 2018-06-26 21:53:07 +0000 UTC Hello everyone. I've been gradually doing cleanup work for the game update in a few days, and made some big breakthroughs recently. First, is by adjusting some settings for how the game is played back, I drastically increased the frame rate and game speed. It had something to do with how the images were being scaled in the browser. Either way, before I did this, even I was having stuttering when first loading the main room. Now it runs smooth as butter. Another related thing, but an even bigger change, I finally managed to export the game as a desktop application. This means no more running in Firefox. Also, from the tests I did already it also mean that the game loads much faster. Before, there was at least a 10 second load time for only Maria's room, and now it is more around 4. While this is obviously a huge improvement, I noticed some slight side-effects, like the font changing to something different. I'm not sure to what extent the changes will go, but it'll take a bit of testing to work out.I've worked on a few minor things in the meantime, like making the 4 pause buttons navigable with the keyboard and general reorganizing of events to make things easier for me to replicate. A lot that was done in the last few days of me working on the demo was rushed, and I'm taking that time to polish it.
