Actually, that's just because I have a weird issue with my GPU sometimes in that, when it isn't loaded enough, it stays clocked down to the power-saving performance state even though that causes individual frames to run over (since the next frame is still mostly idle due to vsync, the driver doesn't consider it loaded enough to clock up). It's happens particularly often to me in houses or caves, but sometimes also outside like this. It's actually pretty retarded, but I also haven't cared enough to try to solve it.
A good real world test would be to test the new performance with ~100 animals on screen.


also shit ton of dead animals. 100+ to be exact.
see homo sexuality trending,. do not do that.

A quick note - these updates are super interesting for me to read.
I've experience with writing and optimizing GPU (CUDA) code from an academic perspective, but I have only vague ideas about the principles of render optimization.
I've always carefully stayed away from rendering code when doing client work :lol:
So thanks for updating us in this way! Nice reads.

30% improvement even without most of the optimizations that are planned to be done in the future sounds quite nice.
Of course, the real issue for many is lag in large villages with lots of objects and animals.
If fps in villages is not affected, the improvement is quite meaningless for most!

But thinking of the positive side: You only have to achieve quite small improvement to the average fps improvement per day. Because even small values would be a lot!

While that might be interesting to test, it should be noted that the real fix for lots of animals is the "instancing animated meshes" listed in the OP. Though I'd expect tick parallelization to also help quite a bit.

It would probably help players a lot if they could build barns to store animals inside a building, otherwise you tend to end up with hundreds of animals in one mini-map space in some villages which causes a huge drop in fps around them.

If barns had large interior spaces where containers with inventories couldn't be placed and fences could be built it would be pretty cool.

We've been developing for two years, and here's what's new.

*posts a screenshot with 30fps*

Oh, don't look at fps, I just decided to redo client render on a computer with broken graphics driver.

Sorry, no more screenshots this year, but beilive me, it's almost done ¦]

30 FPS is, when stable at the number, perfectly fine for a game with the pace and control scheme of haven and hearth.
