Hi all,
This is just a minor update prioritising refining Excavation. This update adds a Low Resolution Mode which can be enabled in the bottom left of the mode. This will reduce the resolution to 800x600 30fps and put the game in windowed mode, with the pure intention of being made to be left in the background while you multitask. Right now, this mode does the bare minimum of reducing GPU usage very slightly. For my laptop, GPU usage went from 2.9% to 0.9% with this setting on. In the future, I will find more compromises to this like potentially removing the asteroid icons or lowering texture resolution.
Excavation Quest Line: Part 2 is now released! Part 3 comes out Saturday 22nd November @ 3PM GMT
