I am happy to hear that you like the game! I optimized the game a bit more mostly on the CPU side, but also GPU. I got a 50% increase in performance on my PC and hopefully it's going to be better on your end too.

I also added an option to disable the shadows completely.
If you're still having performance issues try using the retro filter as that also increases performance by a lot.

Also if it's not too much trouble could you tell me your computers hardware specifications and the average framerate you're getting? That way I would have an idea of how much optimization I should aim for in the future.

Hopefully you can finish the game with these changes! To update just download the 1.5 version and replace the old files with the new ones.

Wow you are amazing! To be honest I did not expect to get a reply, especially not a fast reply like this with the update I have asked for. If I was expecting a reply it was more something like "no sorry it is not possible to optimize this game".

But the game runs smooth now! Even with turned on shadows. It took me now something like 15 minutes to get the scroll list in the vulcano and I was able to finish the game.

Here is the "proof". :)

As you can see the option "potato graphics" was still on. But after finishing the game I went back to the vulcano without that option on and it still runs smooth after that now.

Here are my hardware specifications:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz

16 GB Memory

Geforce GTX 1050

Windows 10

Thank you! I'm glad that you could finish the game.
