We have all seen Yann's textures and they look awesome. One of the reasons that make them look even more awesome, is the fact that they are all in HD. HD textures have 4 times the amount of pixels and loading these textures therefore takes more time. When there's a lot of action, like in CM, this unfortunately tends to lead to lots of lagging. Because I don't want to sacrifice the quality of the textures to improve performance, I am now forced to make major revisions to the rendering engine of the game, which unfortunately will take some time. Given that the AI is also in the process of being created, this will put enormous pressure on me and will leave no more room for anything else. On the bright side, the AI is working out pretty well, but I'll update you on that a bit later.

Good news, I've upgraded the rendering engine and the game now runs super smooth. The next step will be to improve the performance of the new AI, as it seems to very CPU hungry.

Goodie, so it will run ok on ipod touch 4 then now, I might leave it on a lower difficulty then if the AI is going to slow it down. three3pryme I think he means no more room for doing anything else at the moment. |

Yep, that's what I meant. Also, good news regarding the AI, at least for now, the performance impact is near 0. So you don't have to worry about using a harder difficulty setting.  |
