| Timeout Fix? RAM Optimization | 2025-10-30 | Hi all!!A while back I optimized the game to be of a smaller download size, which meant that it needed a little bit more RAM space (about 6GB or so), but since then, I realized that many people can't play the game if they had an 8GB RAM setup. So I've decided to go back to have a bigger download size, and hopefully this can help. I will also be continuing to find ways to potentially optimize for both GPU and CPU (the recent potato mode being one example) but this is a solution that I have for the moment. 0.1.14 New- blind box secret item- alchemy booksFix- fixed lumi bio page cursed layout after max friendship- fixed lamp positionPolish- swap |
