Repeated intro
Hello everyone! Over the past two weeks, I’ve been doing intensive performance optimizations, and I’m happy to say I've roughly doubled the game's FPS, reduced build size 2 times (from 2Gb to 1.1Gb) and reduced VRAM usage by roughly 50% (from 3.75Gb to 1.9Gb). In some late-game scenes with complex workshops, performance went from about 25–30 FPS to around 50–60 FPS. In one of my test shots, FPS went from 22 to 37. These numbers depend on the scene and settings of course, but the gains have been consistent. I’ve been experimenting with lighting and shadows a lot, which is why you may notice some small visual differences if you look very closely. Steam post image
What changed
- Performance
I really pushed a few systems to get these results, so please be patient if you notice any visual bugs. I’ll be ready to improve this system if issues appear. As always, I'd love to hear what you think about Blacksmith Master. I'll be sure to read it, whether it's in the forums, Discord, or in a Steam review. Next on the agenda is staff management and staff amenities, so until next time! ~Luka
