No problem I had little Vision i will work on it little bit Might give you little early Sample >)  once its looks good

Hey, Eugene I appreciate you pointing that out.

At first, I didn’t really understand what you meant, so thanks for explaining it clearly. I realize now that having the whole game load at once was a mistake. When I built it, I was using an older version of the engine and testing on a higher end GPU, so I didn’t notice how bad it could be on other setups.

Right now, I’m working on The Final Backrooms 1995, but once that game is complete  I will plan to go back and redo The Silent City chapter 1 from ground up. I’ll split it into proper levels, optimize everything, and take full advantage of the newer assets and engine updates. and it will be bit better then old one. But Thanks again for the honest feedback it really helps.

Hi Eugene, Chapter 1 has been optimized, and the files have been compressed to 13.6 GB. For Chapter 2, I’ll work on reducing the file size and adding a new shader. That will come later, as I’m currently a bit busy working on the final chapter of Backrooms 1995. But keep an eye on Chapter 2 I might get around to fixing it in a few days

Thanks for the info. Your PC is a bit low for big map in GameGuru MAX because it loads everything at once. If I cut the map into smaller parts, lower the enemies, and maybe reduce some assets, it might run better. Also, this is GameGuru MAX not the old GameGuru Classic engine. I remember making this game when I had a 3060, and it ran fine on my PC back then

About loading its on initial load is the only one time. Once you're in, the rest of the game loads seamlessly with no additional loading screens. It's a single continuous world, so while the first load is long, there shouldn't be any further interruptions after that.

No problem  I totally understand the game didn’t work as you expected.

If you’re still up for trying it again, here are a few things that might help improve performance:

• Try lowering the in-game resolution, and also consider lowering your desktop resolution from 1080p to 720p 1280x720 in your Windows display settings  sometimes that helps stabilize FPS

• Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date

• Enable Game Mode in Windows 10 or 11

• You can also try an app on Steam called Lossless Scaling around $6.99 it can help smooth out performance in some games

If you want, feel free to share your PC specs, and I’ll take a look to see if there’s anything else I can recommend to help boost performance.

Ok, the size is now reduced from 20 GB to 13.6 GB, and the shader pack has successfully worked. The game looks like this now:

Hello Eugene_Lychany,

Yes, I know the screaming monsters can get annoying sometimes, but there is a slider in the settings to turn down or turn off the audio. If that option isn’t working correctly, then that’s on me.

As for the lag, the game wasn’t really optimized when I finished it back in 2023. I didn’t get much feedback at the time, so I didn’t realize how bad the performance could get. That’s probably why I didn’t put more effort into optimization back then.

The first prototype of this game was a complete mess  sometimes it launched, sometimes it didn’t. But I’ve come a long way since then, and I’m still learning. I’ll definitely look into the monster screams and work on improving the sound in the future.

Thanks again for playing and for the feedback  it really helps.

That said, I think the biggest issue now is that the original game project is gone. I was using a different version of the engine back then, and now I can't do much with it. So I’ll have to rebuild it from scratch. The good news is, I can optimize the assets this time to reduce the overall game size, using software I bought specifically to compress and clean up game files.

I will upload the optimized version to the download link once it’s finished. Also, I will add the shader pack I’ve been working on, so I hope it works well and makes the game more immersive.
