Significantly Faster Loading Times

Nikias and the Fall Of Olympus
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hey everyone!

Following yesterday’s big update, I have a few quick additions that further improve on yesterday's release.

💾 Memory Use Down

The game now uses up to 2 GB of memory instead of 3 GB which is down from 4G on the original release.  This should make it  easier to run on mid-range and older PCs. You should see fewer hiccups and smoother performance overall.

🚀 Faster Loading Times

The game now runs on Java 25, which brought a big boost in how quickly assets like textures, music, and animations load. You’ll notice much shorter load times when starting the game or moving between areas.

🎬 Quicker Scene Transitions

Switching between scenes is now way faster — those little pauses between levels or cutscenes are lightning fast now. 

🧠 What This Means for You

Even if you don’t follow the tech side of things, what matters most is this:

  • The game loads faster

  • Transitions are smoother

  • Everything just feels more responsive and polished

This was all part of a bigger effort to make Nikias and the Fall of Olympus play great on as many systems as possible.
