As a treasure game based on open world infinite exploration, survival production foundation, construction defense, and soul RPG battles, "Dragon Road" made its debut on the Steam platform on January 25, 2025, and has been consistently updated and optimized. Although there are still some areas where people are not perfect, the author has been reviewing player feedback - recorded - and immediately optimized. Recently, due to a large number of performance issues reported by players, the author has taken a step-by-step approach to optimize, starting with the easy and then moving on to the difficult, building upon the previous initial optimization. The second phase optimization goal of the game "Dragon Road" has been achieved, and the specific optimization content is as follows:
1. Developing a module for understanding Wang Yangming's psychology, and through academic exchanges with Wang Yangming's theory of psychology, one can obtain elixirs (elixirs are used to treat late stage miasma poisoning or poison arrow therapy);
2. Optimize the blocking module, change the original full blocking to blocking weapon attacks, and use the remaining level difference attack power as the blocked attack power. In addition, on the basis of the original blocking weapon, there is a blocking for archers to shoot arrows;
3. Optimize ocean wave materials to be more realistic. According to the player's requirements, the waves seamlessly and transparently blend with the beach. And on rainy days, raindrops falling on the sea surface can cause ripples;
4. Optimizing land animals to be driven into the ocean, where seawater sinks behind them, causing them to freeze (this is an innovation by Uncle Long);
5. Optimizing the way fish in the sea are driven to the beach, and after jumping out of the sea, the fish will jump and jump around in place (this is an innovation by Long Shu);
6. Optimize the actions and sound effects of drinking red, blue medicine, and elixirs. Based on player feedback, the process of drinking medicine involves hiding the weapon in hand and displaying the specific red and blue medicine bottles (with different colors for different medicines);
7. At the request of the players, the author placed a level 16 "cave giant" in the "Green Cedar Forest" of Donghai Dragon Palace and Silver Beach, and a sunken ship, a set of bows and arrows, and two Western sailors (around level 10) at the estuary outside Shenxian Island. The attack and defense are relatively large, so beginners should avoid it. Experts can challenge it and quickly gain upgrade experience;
8. Adjusting the blur radius of the camera focal length from 5 to 4 significantly improves clarity without affecting performance;
9. The thousand year old karst cave scene displays silver mines, enemy monsters, weapons, and treasure chests;
10. Trimming the game volume, based on player feedback, the author conducted a specialized inspection and testing of the game "Dragon Road", optimizing and trimming materials that are not needed or do not affect the image quality. A total of 9 G volumes were trimmed, reducing storage space by as much as 10%;
11. We have adopted land parcel Lod technology and camera focal length blur technology to further optimize game performance and frame rate, and currently all scenes are stable at over 60 frames per second;
12. Fix several other minor bugs;
