For those wondering what it actually was, I had been forcing a full lua garbage collection cycle on every frame for some reason, and didn't know you could just do smaller steps of it at a time
Now it does one STEP, only once every SECOND, and let's just say the CPU is very happy about this information (and the RAM doesn't mind a bit)

1Just thought I'd share this, it is the arrangement of "The Golden Platform (Reprise)" a very heavily worked on track for Petrichor. You can listen to it here:
https://cryblik.bandcamp.com/track/the-golden-platform-reprise
20/37 redleaf rooms decorated, dialogue and story improvements for the 2nd demo, and a simple change that I think gives the game a lot more FEELING
introducing COLORS! (each area will have a different main color, and variants for specific rooms if needed)
It's time for me to look to the future.
I've been making games for 5+ years now, and I've decided... I want to keep going!
If anyone knows anyone who'd be interested in utilizing my talents (and can pay me, hehe), I would take the job and put in my ALL.
And now, the other character's facial expressions are done as well! All characters now have walk sprites, dialogue sounds, and facial expressions, which means I can freely write the rest of the next demo dialogue.
Big progress!!
Next demo is 56% complete
