Loading Zones Preview
Added 2024-11-18 05:30:47 +0000 UTCJust making a quick post here to show off the new loading zones and their functionality on the Expanded Island. In the bottom corner of the screen you can see two of the loading zones (The City, and Slums), and observe how they appear and disappear from the game world when the Player moves past certain points.
These loading zones are being used for every section of the Expanded Island (City, Slums, Forest, Mountains, Beach, etc) to maintain performance in real time. These loading zones have already translated to a massive increase in performance despite the Expanded Island's larger size, and I plan to continue using them every time a new section is added, or added to.
You can also see a new area being added to the game in the next update in this video :)
