SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening

3 months ago

Perhaps this is a pointless post, and I'm sure people have seen it from an older image, but SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening is going to have an options menu!

(actually really cool news imo but also I need to say some things about it lmfao)

While it's not much, as I do not have the ability to make a much larger, more advanced options menu for games made in Blender, I do know that these three options will be quite handy for some people.

Fullscreen is quite obvious. You can toggle the game between fullscreen and windowed mode. I added this in mostly because I knew people would like it. However, I should note that mixing this with the resolution setting can be buggy, but it is fixable by adjusting your screen and changing it back to fullscreen. A fix for that is very much out of my control sadly, but it's a pretty easy thing to solve on your own.

Vsync is more technical, but if you ever experience screen tearing, you can keep this enabled. I do believe if you disable it, it might help lower-end PCs run the game better. I'm not exactly sure about this myself as I have a powerful laptop lol.

And finally, Resolution has two options. 1920 x 1080, and 1280 x 720. Initially, I didn't think this would be possible to have implemented and was considering releasing a separate "low resolution" version of the game. But to my surprise, I can implement it, and its addition is actually pretty big. If the game runs slower for you, you can change the resolution down to 1280 x 720, and hopefully you'll get better performance, at the cost of slightly blurrier textures and more pixely scenery. It's not too bad, however.

(Also be aware that your mouse/head will move faster as the game's screen is much smaller.)

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get these options to be saved once you exit the game. I'm still working with Phobia: The Awakening's old code and honestly, I really do not want to mess anything up too much lol. Thankfully, however, it's only three options and not a whole list with multiple categories.

this sums up how I’ve been feeling the past two days or so now.

“Knock, Knock.”

Had to share this while working because Cap'n Cackle just looks genuinely so happy right here lol.

Really awesome how friendly or terrifying these guys can look with different lighting and texturing.
