I have found several bugs
in Viridian Forest
one crawled up my girlfriend's butt pls fix
This is all of interest, thank you a ton for everything! I'm still updating the demo so I can try to fix the lag with the next round of updates. My computer is also potato so I assumed other people's non-potatoes would be fine. But if other people have potatoes too, then I should fix the potato problems! And, I'll look into Joiplay compatibility!
also also, may i suggest adding an optimization mode for potato pcs? like, remove certain effects, make the game sprites a bit less-high-quality, make some usually animated things static, etc. edit: sometimes, if i click off the game window while it's booting up, the game just stays in a black screen and crashes.
Oh yes, I will definitely try to optimize throughout (although, crash at start seems to be an Essentials engine issue, sadly...). Most speed issues are with the animator, which uses RPG Maker's bulky in-box commands to animate that also use a ton of memory. I've got a better system now, but it's just a matter of finding a day to go back and replace the old stuff and make sure nothing breaks. Going forward though, everything post-demo should be a lot less laggy!
