I came to this page looking forward to trying your game. Unfortunately I had problems similar to what other people have reported. I have a relatively beefy PC with a dedicated GPU but the game wouldn’t load. Like the other user having problems I only have 8GB of RAM and despite being able to play some AAA games looks like this is too demanding for my machine. The fact that you claim that the game takes a “while to load” after actually loading makes me thing you are probably instantiating a lot of stuff that is too intensive on memory. There are several ways you can optimize some stuff, ping me if you need ideas.

Hey thanks for the offer!
I have found ways to slightly improve the overall combined loading time and also ways to split up the loading, but unfortunately the main problem seems to be a bug in one of the plugins we are using (Dialogue Manager) in combination with instantiating scenes. After the jam though I’ll be able to upload an updated version which is significantly improved.
Nevertheless I would love to know if you have any ideas! Even with the optimizations I’ve managed it still takes a surprisingly long amount of time to force-preload some of the background scenes even when they are empty…
