A quick technical update on Crossovertale's performance - TL;DR: Compatibility between Windows, Mac and Linux, and performance improvements!


Hi! No new visuals to show off this time, but for those interested, I wanted to talk a bit about Crossovertale's performance as a game.

Some of you might be aware that CT is built with Create Your Frisk (a miniature game engine made in Unity). On some machines, CYF has proven to be somewhat lag-inducing. Additionally, it being made with Unity may raise some eyebrows to people who have heard of Mac Big Sur, which supposedly makes Unity games unrunnable.

I've actually spent the last month digging into these problems! We found a more up-to-date version of Unity to use that can build projects runnable on Windows, Mac and Linux with no issues (even on Big Sur!)

And the main reason behind Create Your Frisk's lag issues is its dependence on MoonSharp - in other words, it produces an excess amount of data, because it has to constantly translate between Lua and C#. For Crossovertale, I've decided to remove MoonSharp and rewrite everything in native C#! This is already proving to massively reduce lag, and we think the game will perform better on low end computers than CYF does.

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)
