[previewyoutube=4n4uOTBb1Z0;full][/previewyoutube] Hey everyone! So what took so long? We are a really really small indie team, carrying onward with basically nothing but our passion to make the most fun game we possibly can. A game that we would love to play ourselves with our friends. Sure, we could have released this game in a much rougher state a long time ago, but there's a very specific vision we are trying to achieve. A vision that empowers gamers of all levels to be able to play at the highest level, whether in coop story campaign mode, or in PvP. Even for those that look at fast paced shooters longingly but unable to play at a high level due to its complexity or speed, Death Carnival is designed to empower you to do even crazier combat immediately as a beginner. And to be honest, the MOBA + Shooters combat style we were going for took longer than expected to fine tune, but we made it happen. We wanted controls that allows your character to move and shoot exactly the way you want with as little limitations or movement slowdowns as possible. We wanted to build a core experience from which we can expand infinitely to keep delivering even more fun. Here are the latest screenshots and test footage of where Death Carnival is at. We've been working super hard on refining Death Carnival into our ideal PvP game that has truly intense multi-elevation combat while being extremely intuitive. Our characters, loadouts, and collectable card ability systems were refined over and over again to make it super easy to customize but also allows you to just jump in and have fun with friends. From our testing with random testers, from 11 years old to retro lovers to retirement pensioners, from casual to hardcore players, we believe we've achieved that. If you know how to play Pacman or Smash Bros, you'll be able to pick up the game and play it pretty well within minutes. Right now we are actively seeking VC/Publishing/Large Streamers that understands the vision we are going for, to partner with us to bring this game to everyone who wants to play with a giant smile on their face. Let us know if you got hookups! Sincerely, Death Carnival Team

Regarding the latest news about the pending Google Stadia shutdown, we were quite surprised by the news ourselves and sad to hear about it. Since Death Carnival is designed to have full cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms, it was really fun having battles between our PC and Stadia communities. Regarding our current Stadia players, as always, our Steam version will be made available to you, and we will also look at expanding our availability on other game streaming platforms to be accessible to those who prefer a streaming game experience. On the plus side, all of the planned fun audience interactive game features will still be available on all platforms, and our aggressive game performance optimizations will support even lower-end hardware to run Death Carnival well. See you on the other platforms! Sincerely, Herbert Yung Director | Death Carnival https://store.steampowered.com/app/827210/Death_Carnival/

Welcome to part 3 of our Death Carnival optimization series! In part one, we discussed our goal of achieving great frame rates on as many levels of hardware as possible. We then discussed the benchmark results we were able to achieve during the optimization process. This third part will focus on various interesting elements we worked on for optimizations, including improvements to the CPU/GPU, gameplay optimizations, and other changes that our non-dev fans can get excited about. So why are we chasing these optimizations so aggressively? Because every bit of extra performance we find means fewer restrictions on game design going forward. For example, If we can only spawn inr 20 active monsters at any time, then that greatly restricts the kind of crazy battle scenarios we can have in the game. Through our performance tweaks, we have created ways that will allow us to have hundreds of monsters, and thousands of homing projectiles, active without affecting the games performance. Optimization is all about compromising and cutting corners. There are many varieties of visual features we could incorporate into our game, but every single one comes with a certain cost. When determining which features to add we measure 2 things:the performance impact, and the net gain of the visuals. For example, something seemingly straightforward like Environmental Fog can be implemented in multiple different ways. When choosing between options, we ask ourselves questions like whether we want the 70% quality fog that drops performance by 15%, Or the 80% quality fog that drops performance by 35%? One way of handling it is to have both, allowing players to toggle between them based on whether they prefer higher performance or higher graphics quality. While that is very easy to set up, we also want to maintain the general look of the game, even when using lower quality settings. We also want to avoid players gaining a competitive advantage when using certain settings. I know I certainly wouldnt want to feel penalized in PvP for using prettier graphics if my system could handle them easily. CPU Optimization We are currently very well optimized on the CPU side, with most of the CPU left unused. This is very important, as that means we can fit more multiplayer game servers that share a single server CPU. For example, we use kinematic movement for characters instead of using Unity's natural physics engine. This means that every movement has been deliberately coded like you would see for a 2D platforming game like Super Mario, saving a lot of system resources on physics processing. Monsters AI For PvE monsters AI, weve experimented with many approaches over the years. Our goal is to achieve a very high count of active monsters engaging in combat against players at any given time, and we have combined techniques from different game genres to achieve this. The CPU load for AI must be kept low, otherwise it would greatly affect game performance on lower-end hardware and also put more strain on multiplayer servers. For our elite, and mini-boss tier monsters, we use more complex individual AI to give them more personality. While this makes for more interesting interactions with the player, it comes with a higher processing cost. For swarms of monsters that are crawling all over the walls and landscape, we switch to using a hybrid approach depending on how far away they are from their target. By combining these approaches to AI, we can ensure that the monsters behave effectively while not impacting the performance. GPU Target On the low-end of GPU targets, we have included low-end integrated GPUs. By doing this, we are also optimizing the game for mobile devices. What does it mean when we are optimizing for low end GPUs? It means we need to avoid full-screen effect calculations completely on the lowest end as theres far less texture memory to work with. This means that we cannot have any essential gameplay-impacting elements that rely on full-screen visual effects, otherwise it would degrade the quality and consistency level of low-end graphics settings significantly. Previously, we used full-screen visual effects to create debuffs visuals to indicate when players touched something bad. However, we have removed those for the sake of optimization and replaced them with gameplay based debuffs. Since our playtesters felt that these visuals could be confusing at times, this also solved a gameplay issue while improving performance. Bullet System There are generally a few ways to handle bullets in shooter games. Instant-hit weapons, and projectile based weapons are two such examples. Instant-hit weapons are pretty easy to optimize, but projectile based weapons are a bit more varied in terms of how developers like to implement them. For our PvE monster weapons, we wanted to have the flexibility to create incoming attack scenarios that were utterly insane. That means being able to move a lot of bullet objects on-screen without causing a large performance drop. To solve this, we created a system where processing and rendering thousands of homing missiles will cost next to nothing in terms of performance. With this in mind, our players can fully expect some epic boss battles in the future! Beyond Game Engine Were always looking at new features that come out in every Unity patch as every new feature that comes out is a potential opportunity to either boost performance or enhance the graphics. Sometimes, it is neither, but that is part of the fun of being experimental, as you never know what opportunities may arise. For example, lighting is very important to our game since we have plenty of real-time explosions and neon lights. Game engines in general dont particularly handle a high quantity of light sources well because of all the calculations that are needed, especially on mobile phones or the Nintendo Switch hardware. To work around this limitation, we used a screen space solution which creates virtual 2D lights to emulate 3D lights, combined with additional custom modifications to give us an unlimited number of light sources while retaining the sharp look of real time 3D lights. VRAM Limitations This is a big one. Throughout development, weve used many different techniques to create the 3D art assets that are used in levels. From using single shared texture sheets for dozens of objects, to using 4 or 5 separate textures per object. During the last few rounds of optimization, we started work on greatly reducing VRAM usage, since lower-end GPUs only have 1GB or less of VRAM available for rendering textures. Weve tried the minimum resource shared texture approach, and weve tried the high resource high memory. Our next goal is to combine both approaches to create a very low VRAM usage scenario while using custom implementations that will look amazing. Nvidia and AMD We are also planning to use the upscaling technologies from Nvidia and AMD as soon as they become available. On lower-end hardware, simply changing the resolution can greatly impact the frames per second you get. Currently, when lowering your games resolution, the graphics become somewhat blurrier. However, when combined with technology such as Nvidias DLSS and AMDs FidelityFX, these issues are resolved. Both these technologies are in various stages of being implemented into the Unity engine, and we are keeping a close eye on every update so we can implement them as soon as possible. Even now, we are achieving greater performance results when upscaling from a 20-30% lowered resolution. Particle Systems We use particle systems in almost every visual system, and the performance on these can range from great, to slowing down the game to a crawl. During the optimization process we used profiler tools to measure the impact of particle systems, especially on lower end hardware that can not handle a high number of overlapping textures that well. This helps us to catch any performance issues, and solve them as quickly as we can. One way we've optimized our particle systems is by keeping the overdraws to a minimum. We have achieved this by using 3rd party tools to pre-render an animated effect onto a texture sprite sheet, and then projecting it onto a single square, instead of stacking many particles to render it in real-time, which multiplies the performance cost. Testing and Metrics The most important part of efficiently optimizing a game is using the right tools. Unity comes with a whole suite of analysis tools to see what each element will cost to render and process. Outside of Unity, we use powerful tools such as RenderDoc, a powerful performance profiling tool. We also use a super low-end $230 laptop that we use to discover additional performance problems more effectively than looking at analysis tools on higher-end systems. We also have many testers helping out by testing out the various builds across a wide range of hardware to ensure we didnt miss anything during our internal testing. Conclusion The above mentioned systems are just small samples of the many optimizations we have done for Death Carnival. At its core, the process mainly comes down to understanding and measuring the performance impact of each sub-system, and finding ways to improve them. We will continue to work hard on optimizations to make sure that as many levels of hardware as possible can run our game at over 60fps for that awesome responsive arcade feel. See you in the arena!

Welcome to part two of the Death Carnival optimization mini-series in which we will share some benchmark comparisons and visual differences during our optimization process for the game. Death Carnival is an upcoming fast-paced arcade shooter with singleplayer, online coop, and competitive PVP. It is built on the Unity engine and is slated to be released later this year.
Main Goal: To achieve higher performance and graphical quality at the same time. Primary Test Machines: For part 2 of this blog series, we took fresh screenshots and new benchmark results from 2 machines. The first is a $250 laptop with a Celeron 4020 CPU, Integrated Intel UHD600 GPU, and 4GB of Ram. This machine will basically run solitaire and Microsoft Excel just fine. The second computer uses an AMD 3900X CPU, 2080ti and 64GB of Ram. This computer is tuned for work, so you will see other slower GPUs having higher frames per second in-game compared to this one. Secondary Test Machines: The secondary test machines owned by testers are listed in the chart below on the left side of the chart, with the performance gain between Build 112 and Build 131 listed by the hardware description.
Game Settings: For game settings, 1920x1080 in High Graphics settings was used. This turns on all graphical features, except for using 2k textures instead of 4k textures, which would be overkill for 1080p testing. The only exception being the lowest-end laptops, which used lower settings which turns off some performance-impacting features such as real-time lighting and shadows.
Build Versions: We selected 3 build versions for this blog post. Build 112: This is where we added many graphical features that we wanted into the game, and while it runs at a reasonable frame rate on higher-end GPUs, it had an unacceptable performance for lower-end hardware. Build 131: We performed an extreme optimization pass here, using alternative techniques to create the same graphical features from build 112. The result of that was a huge performance boost but a downgrade visually since it would take some time to reintegrate every graphical feature that we had to reimplement. Build 152: Between Build 131 and Build 152, because of the available performance budget that we acquired from the aggressive performance pass we did in Build 131, we reintegrated a lot of the graphical features we wanted here. At the same time, we made sure we were able to retain as much of the performance gains as possible as we improved the visuals.
Summary: As of the writing of this blog post, we have only completed about 40% of what we can do with optimizations. There are many further aspects of optimizations that we have planned for a bit later before launch which will boost performance significantly, particularly for lower-end hardware for laptops and mobile devices. For now, we are happy with the results we have achieved and continue to focus our efforts on enhancing our gameplay as we head ever closer towards launch. Stay tuned for Part 3 of this optimization blog series, in which we will deep dive into the more technical aspects of our optimization processes.

Meet Fifi, From the high-rises to the Under Slums, all the junk in Haven City trickles down. Beneath the streets it gathers, salvaged and recycled by junkers who sell it back to the city above. But one day, an unmarked capsule found its way down to the scrap heaps, and inside slept a child, wrapped in a bushy red tail. The junkers raised the girl as their own, with the scrap heaps of the Under Slums serving as her school, home, and playground. Having no friends her age, Fifi learned to construct mechanized animals modeled after images she found in discarded old picture books. One day, she came upon a pile of old pamphlets for Death Carnival and read about the promise of a wish. The thought of facing all those dangers alone was terrifying, but with a few adjustments, Fifi could bring her friends along to help, and by the end, they would all be as real as her.

Introducing the Scorcher! Scorchers are firm believers in the theory that everything burns, but they still want to test this theory whenever they encounter something new. With twin napalm cannons mounted on mechanical arms, Scorchers havent been let down in a single one of their experiments. They are curious to know, how much will you take to burn?

Introducing the Shredinator! It is said that the enormous brains piloting the Shredinator mechs are supremely intelligent. However, all attempts to communicate with them end up in a conversation about shredding, followed by a personal demonstration.

A new and important game element was also introduced, the Hex Destructable Fence. This is a fence that is destructable and only affects the player. They are placed in strategic locations to give players the choice of spending the time to break down the barrier, or to kill off enemies in the limited space first. The spawn system also got further improvements!
