twelevegamesayear 5 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Very pretty - I like the look of the thrusting and the slow smooth arcs inscribed by the ships. It makes me want to control one.... hilary_craven 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stopviolence 3 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Nice graphics but why is it so slow ? hilary_craven 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hilary_craven 2 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Nice graphics but why is it so slow ? hello, could you post what browser you're using, your operating system, and what graphics card you have? We'll see what we can do as far as performance, thank you! Game is pretty heavy shader-wise, and we haven't built out the option to disable them yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bruno_ 70 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 In firefox and chrome, windows 10, Geforce GT 740M the game is slow when the browser is maximized (my resolution is 1680x1050).If I resize the browser to a smaller window it gets faster.If you put a fps counter in your game I can tell you how it performs in various resolutions. hilary_craven 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice graphics but why is it so slow ? We've been able to facilitate some hefty performance improvements, so give the game another try. PLEASE NOTEYour game should say "version 1045" and to the right of that there should be a FPS monitor. If you don't see either of these, that means that there is a cache problem and please let us know right away! (also refresh the browser) We do need to know if people are being served the old version, I thought we nipped that bug already, but if not it'll be a high priority.

mattstyles 667 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I cant get more than 50 fps on a macbook air on Chrome, possibly related to a cruddy GPU? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(also refresh the browser) We do need to know if people are being served the old version, I thought we nipped that bug already, but if not it'll be a high priority. Cache problem on the user can be fixed by providing the querystring as a version on your index.html file (if your app.min.js is your game file, I think that should be app.min.js?1.0.1234), or when you load your script.Just make sure the index.html file isn't cached as well. Or simply use folder versions on the assets. Hope this helps! Good game btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marcgfx 22 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 looks great. I didnt find out what I should be doing though. performance was fine for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jfhs 2 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Awesome graphics, really nice job! Performance could be better (Core i7 Quad + 16 GB Ram + some onboard graphics chip, Chromium). Unfortunately, the fonts are not readable for me (see attachment). There also is a bug: When I start the game I cannot use the arrow keys to move the screen. It only works after using WASD first... Hope that helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bruno_ 70 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'm getting: Firefox maximized = 8fps; halfscreen = 10fpsChrome maximized = 30fps; halfscreen = 50fpsEdge maximized = 35fps; halfscreen = 60fps all my browsers are updated.Chrome is acceptable.Firefox is known for bad webgl performance.Edge was the winner and a nice surprise.

The performance issues have been confirmed, and it seems like windows machines were most effected. We've updated the tech demo to v1047, please let us know if you're getting much better FPS rates now. Thank you guys, the feedback has been very much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bruno_ 70 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Firefox that was my worst case got a small improvement: Before:Firefox maximized = 8fps; halfscreen = 10fps Now:Firefox maximized = 11fps; halfscreen = 15fps Other browsers were already acceptable so I didn't retest.

svidlak 1 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 awesome graphics! which tools you worked with for the graphics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamessimo 7 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 This is really rad, love what you are doing with webGL, runs like a dream. hilary_craven 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hilary_craven 2 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 @jamessimo Ty! awesome graphics! which tools you worked with for the graphics? Ship models are by Angryfly. We used 3dstudio max to render the ship and station models in top-down orthographic, and then embellished the colors in Photoshop. Planets, clouds, and background stars were painted in Photoshop.

hilary_craven 2 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Performance Improvements! We've cleaned up how we use strip (rope) instances, and we've started using texture atlases. Performance should be much better on a wider array of machines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
