Update 1.1.0! Lag and grind fix!

"What, why now?"


I advice you to read through this but if you're short on time or just not interested, here are the changes:

-This update possibly removes a lot of lag (I can't guarantee 100%)

-Less items needed to proceed

-Trees grow WAY faster

-In short, most of the grinding has been removed

-There is a button on the title screen that can turn off the perspective that you have at night

-Extra content in the Extras menu!

So I recently woke up from the coma caused by the Tyke and Sons aftermath. Before that, I've seen that a lot of you have enjoyed the game despite the lag, but everybody could agree that the grind was horrible. But for some reason I didn't want to get rid of the thing that made the game as long as it was. I thought that this was important or else it wouldn't work as a Tycoon game.

However, it didn't let go of me that the game had a very objective flaw. I just couldn't be bothered to touch the code one more time. It wouldn't take much work to fix the game, but if you eat spaghetti for a few months straight, you'll get to that point where you just can't have another bite, or else you will vomit hard.

For some random reason, I got just enough motivation recently to look at it a final time. And not only could I nerf the grinding aspect, I also had a theory on what to fix so I can stop most of the lag. I finally found someone whose game was running on 2fps, and after I did what I did, it was running smoothly. So here's hoping that the lag problem is fixed now (sorry to those who still got a low framerate).

Now, most of you have already seen or played the entire game, but I bet that there are at least 10 people here that would like to redownload a better version, so I'm doing this for those 10 people, and every newcomer as well. And also for me because I want to enjoy my own games.

Alright, stay home, my final message, bye.

RPG eventually. I'm still new to Godot but I'm currently making a lot of small test games (successfully, kinda :D)

I half-dreamt up a character that kinda looks like this. Do you know if it already exists or did I make it up? Looks familiar

I'm sorry to say this but there was a Tyke and Sons April Fools troll game planned for 2023. It only got as far as this player graphic and then I died.

Hey, Godot users. This collision setup is beyond stupid. What do you do instead? Please help me :)

I found another unused model. "Watermelon Fredbear" was supposed to appear in this game, though I really just liked Nightmare Fredbear, so there was no actual thought behind it. This is all that I made...

Shoutout to one of my highest quality assets I've ever made for a portfolio a few years ago

Unfinished "Watermelon Fredbear". It's in the game's folder so it counts as cut from Tyke and Sons.

Any ideas for a name for this guy? I have one already, but maybe you got something better than "Brrrummmsel"

WOW THANKS HOW NICE

Found a scene that was probably meant as a joke at the time. Had to reassign some textures and updated the lighting to bring you this quick render:
