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.

WOW THANKS HOW NICE

UPDATE: THEY LET ME PET SIMBA

Found another unused thing in my folders, "Broken Rockstar Fredbear", creative!

Edit: It was based on a shot from Detroit: Become Human btw

What if when you die enough times, you get a rage quit option where the game just closes after a horrendous scream

Look at ya boi merging two cylinders with ease

Update: this is all you get, haha suckers

It's always good practice to make the collision of enemy projectiles thrice as big as the graphic itself, as to not underwhelm the player and also extend the playtime.

Found something else that's unused!

Sequel Intro Leak!

I hope at some point I can stream working in Godot, because I could need some active backseating. How would you make this more simple?

Edit: Last line is supposed to take from modulate.r as well
