Devlog - 57 [New Screenshots + Linux Question/Info]

Zordak
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Changes:

Increased "Sleep Margin" to 25 from 15, the game will now use a bit more CPU power to reduce the chance of it being stuck at a lower framerate than intended, this could happen because of power saving features on some laptops.

Improved the new suit sprites a bit.

Added a new enemy.

Added misc missing sounds.

Added "Effect Render Scale" menu option, controls render scale of bloom, lighting, AO, etc where a higher value means smoother screen but at the cost of performance.

Added a bar to graphics related menu buttons indicating performance impact in attempt to try and help people know what to change.

Rewrote the lighting shader a bit, fixes "oval" looking lights + slightly improved visual quality and performance.

Updated misc demo related rooms.

Fixed 9 bugs / issues.

------------------------------------------

So.. I've been feeling a bit down again and I won't go into detail but that's one reason why there hasn't been a devlog in a while.

I don't really have much to say this time other than I'm trying to get the new demo done and I may have to go back to testing Linux in a virtual machine again.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS does not want to work properly on my laptop anymore, I don't know what the issue is but the screen just goes black whenever I rotate or change screen resolution.

The weird thing is that it does not happen on the login screen, rotate works just fine there but as soon as I log in and try to rotate or change screen resolution it goes black.

If anyone has any idea what's going on there, feel free to let me know.
