Imma take a wild guess and assume they're joking.
Strange, my laptop has 16GB of RAM. Is there anything that could be preventing the game from accessing it or limiting what it can access?
I was going to say "another week, another delay", but then I realized that even getting a post every week is pretty unexpected.inno said:
On first start up it always hard freezes when you press new game, maybe try waiting for it to clear?
I've now gotten it to work. The game appears to dislike the fact that I did not allow it internet access. Once the game was allowed to access the internet it started to preform as it should. Not sure what it wanted from the internet but it wanted something.
Coincidentally the first thing it loads is the update notes from the blog, maybe it was having a stroke unable to pull that.
RAM isn't the issue, had a friend running the game on a system sporting 64GB DDR5, Samsung EVO 970, so on and saw the same issues of lag and hangs.
It'll be fine, just start selling them into slavery. It takes a little longer than just chasing them out of town, but you should get something for your trouble.
Oh yeah, I know about the little tricks to reduce the NPC count. I've delved pretty deep into LT's code.
Especially not after sale. I know next to nothing about programming, but I guarantee that even my over-long contact list is fucking with everything somehow.
I've only been able to skim some of Inno's code but iirc isn't it a big part of the issue that the game loads and updates every char every turn, as opposed to say only when the player enters their tile? Like ideally you should be able to quickly load and unload npcs from storage to memory and avoid the overpopulation issue altogether
well i was thinking something like how the sims 4 has a limit of i think 200 sims total. and once you reach that limit noone can get pregnant and such. however for liliths throne the enemy npcs would run out of town after attacking you
Yeah a mix of systems here would probably be good, though I'd stratify npc limits into different groups since some (slaves) would need to be simulated (in a minimalist fashion) each turn. But for random encounters, it should be straightforward enough to have their "home tile" point to the npc's respective file and load them back up when encountered. That way random npcs would just occupy storage space instead of RAM when not interacting with the player. Of course, that whole approach assumes storage space isn't an issue for the player.
its still not as bad as yadere dev in terms of code quality
