Did some profiling last week and got the game to run >4000% faster. I cringe to think of what the code used to look like! This is one of the perks of optimization: being able to put 99 enemies on one tiny screen. The result? Chaos. |

4000%? What was your FPS before and after?
If it was even just 60 fps, then it is now 2,400 fps? I'm a little pessimistically skeptical.
Lots of monsters is really cool though.

Sorry, I would be more accurate to say 4000% more efficient. The game used to consume 9700ms per 10000ms and now it's down to 2200ms. This is largely due to using plain old arrays for accessing components in the ECS (now published on Github), optimizing the MoveSystem and using gl_FragCoord in the shaders so custom uniforms don't have to be sent for every sprite. |

Been following this awhile. I just wanted to chime in and say this looks awesome. I love what your doing and going at it solo is a true challenge but also very rewarding (speaking from experience)
Congrats on reaching your funding goal and I will for sure be following this until release.

This looks really cool There's definitely a good level of polish here. Reminds me of some of the Devolver published games (in the best of ways). So are you making this from scratch with C++ or are you using an existing game engine of some kind? And it's just you right? I'm impressed! Seems like you have a lot of interesting content on your hands! |

Hi Markefus, Songbringer uses the cocos2d-x cross-platform game engine. I highly recommend it if C++ and open-source is your thing. Yep, it's a solo project. My first game making all the art, music and code so it's very exciting. BTW, Desolus looks AMAZING. |

I'm using Unity and C# although I am a C and C++ guy at heart, ha. And thank you very much!! Solo dev is no small feat; definitely keep up the fantastic work and I'll be following development Congrats on the Kickstarter too! |

Busy week getting Xbox controllers to work and finally completing these big boss doors. These will open by either completing a puzzle or defeating a difficult enemy elsewhere in the current dungeon. |
