Thanks to the help of the community, I've implemented a new optimization system!
Based on your feedback, I added new performance settings and several gameplay optimizations that should noticeably improve performance, especially on older PCs. Thanks to your reports, more people will be able to enjoy the game with a smoother experience.
Below, you can see what to expect in the latest update.
Thank you all for your feedback and support—it truly helps make the game better.
WEATHER EFFECTS - TURN OFF/ON RAIN - Rain uses the CPU, not the GPU, so if you have an older CPU, use this option.
CUTTING VIEW CAMERA - It cuts your view distance so you won't see the whole map at once. You can select the best distance for you. Max value is 1000m. Have great day Mr.M., owner of Galactic Tenebris Company
There is a subtle pixelation filter in the game, along with a few other visual effects, and they are all intentional for story purposes. However, it turns out I forgot to add the settings that keep the pixelation strength consistent across different screen resolutions. As a result, if you were playing at a resolution higher or lower than the default, the pixelation could appear much stronger than intended. Rest assured, this has now been fixed. Just remember to turn off fullscreen.
Dear ladies and gentlemen, these two triangles were the reason the whole game was crashing. They were causing an infinite loop.
The save file system had an issue where, if you selected New Game (Begin the Salvation) while an existing save file was still present, some progress from the previous save could remain even though you started a new game.
Because of this, I recommend not deleting individual save files manually anymore. Instead, I added a simple button in the bottom-right corner of the main menu. After confirming, this button will delete your save file automatically, and the game will restart itself.
I hope this makes your experience with the game smoother. It can also be useful if you want to start fresh or attempt a speedrun.
I hope you will survive this day.
Your developer, Mr. M.
Some environmental management fixes to make the experience better for you.
Good evening. Quick fix for the dialogues — I hope the game is playable now.
