Engine:
Prescribe and Pray began development on April 1st, 2025, using Godot version 4.3.
Since then, I haven’t updated the engine, because each change brings its share of incompatibilities, despite the additions and fixes in newer versions.
However, some players experienced crashes on different days of gameplay, despite all my modifications and optimizations. So, I decided to migrate to a more stable version of Godot. Version 4.3 could have issues with AMD configurations.
This is the biggest change in this update, because although most of the game seems unaffected, I had to readapt some systems. Hopefully, the game will run better for everyone!
Fixes:
Document opening has been modified to no longer cause freezes when creating a document on low-end configurations.
Similarly, document selection could still cause problems on some configurations, resulting in multiple annoying openings, fixed.
When closing a document with right-click, the top document in the stack was not always the one closed, fixed.
Shader for scene fade transitions has been rewritten. Less resource-intensive, but just as functional.
Resetting the piggy bank! With each new piggy bank, the first bill inserted sometimes displayed the previous balance in addition to the new amount. Sorry, but this is now fixed :)
Pepito was not considered "dead" in certain cases. From now on, if you prescribe him a harmful medicine, you will not receive the mission payment.
As you can see, this update is focused on optimization. I noticed a significant improvement in framerate on my old laptop.
Feel free to discuss it on the forum. I’m a solo developer and don’t have access to a wide range of hardware to test every change. I only have you :)
Every piece of feedback is valuable, good or bad.
And once again, if you enjoy the game, please consider leaving a review.
Already 2,000 players, but very few are willing to share their experience, which makes it harder when the negative minority takes over.
Thank you, and enjoy the game,
Anthony
