Updates during last weekend:
update #3
feature:
options for ladybugs blowing dandelion (seeds), the first of these options is the default now. At around 70 dandelions this takes up the CPU usage freed in the first update.
update #2
change:
leaf grow duration shorter
update #1
Improvement, changes, fixes and feature
improvement:
CPU usage reduced by up to around 30 %:
- not letting parts of trees wobble which wasn't noticed reduces CPU usage by up to around 20% when wobbling trees are and particularly the central big tree is wobbling in view,
- disabling colliders until they are needed (press letter "p" on your keyboard to toggle landing) or replacing them by an approximative variant reduces CPU usage by around 10% (; during early development leaving full precision colliders enabled resulted in no noticed CPU usage difference).
this can result in frame rate improvement and be unfortunately noticeable as medium range frame rate fluctuation
changes:
- small trees leafs wobbling range slightly increased
- small trees leafs size slightly reduced
- central big tree leafs size slightly enlarged
- small trees now grow first after having been seeded
- wobbling now begins only after leafs have grown
fixes:
- ladybugs growing in size due to sitting on a growing leaf after landscape size change fixed, they now wait for the leafs to have grown
- mp3 s appear to have no limitation anymore after update of 3rd party library
feature:
flying ladybugs air stream can now blow away still rooted dandelion seeds
known issue:
sometimes after having changed landscape size some newly seeded trees or dandelions were observed to not have been planted in the ground
The original released version is available from the branch selection on the BETAS tab in Steams game properties (right click on game name in library and select "properties"). The name "BETAS" is only Steams original intention, its branch selection feature is here utilised to make previous versions available.
