#GoedWare Game Jam 13 #Devlog #Breaking The loop
🛠️ Development Status
✅ BREAKING THE LOOP is finished, only the music is missing. Pol is working hard on a few more tracks.
🎯 My last goal is to export the game to HTML5 so it can be played in a browser, as recommended by the jam rules.
🚧 Technical Challenges
🔴 Performance: Initial HTML5 tests were discouraging due to poor frame rates.
🟡 Window size: A minor issue, easily fixed with a few lines of code.
🟡 Supersampling: A tricky one, as it was a Game Maker bug. Updating to the latest version solved it.
💡 Possible Performance Improvements
🔹 Disabling the level wall gloom significantly improved performance.
🔹 Reducing explosion particles could optimize it even further.
🎉 Good News
The game is now running much better in the browser. This will be my first itch.io game playable online! After the jam, I'll also upload Pac-Elcano as a web version.
