Beta Update - Memory Footprint
[ 2014-11-17 19:53:20 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello, everyone! First off thank you all for the amazing bug reporting you've done so far. In just three days we've found and fixed (and found) dozens of bugs - your descriptions & logs are helping me squash them one by one.
Today I'm taking a break from the customary 'fix / push build / test / fix / push build / test' rapid-fire approach & and focusing on the single task reducing memory footprint. A lot of beta players are reporting crashes on transitions between areas and their logs point to texture memory as a culprit. This is an art-focused task so you won't see me in the forums much till it's done.
Keep doing what you're doing every report helps! Cheers

FRONTIERS blends the feel of first-person RPG classics like Daggerfall with the relaxing tempo and simplicity of a point-and-click adventure. Discover ancient mysteries, live off the land and fight deadly creatures, all in a beautiful, massive open world.
I can still remember the first time I played Daggerfall. Yes, it was uglier than a monkey's armpit and controlled worse than a bumper car on a frozen lake. But it also created the feeling of a world that lived on even after I'd stopped playing, and that feeling still sticks with me all these years later. A world where you could spend hours searching every pixelated nook and cranny. A world of potential. A world of exploration...
...and then a Dragonling would chomp my face because I hadn't spent ten hours grinding in the easy regions. Arg! So frustrating!
Other games have touched on that elusive feeling, especially Elder Scrolls and early Fallout games, but as fun as they are and as much as I love hardcore RPG mechanics, I've always dreamt of a game that emphasized exploration above all else.
If you feel the same way then yes - FRONTIERS is for you!
NOTE: I recommend reading reviews & forum posts before purchasing, especially concerning Linux support.
