SynapseLapse has Fran Bow

May 5, 2023 @ 3:06pm

I like the new engine.

Was really surprised to see Fran Bow pop-up in my updates list.
You ported the game from Gamemaker to Unity? Yeesh, that's pretty much re-writing the game and just reusing existing art assets.

Still, nice work. I tried out the update and I love the upgrade. I could be wrong, but I feel like gamemaker locked the animations at 30. Regardless, the game moves very smoothly now. A very good reason for me to dive back into the forest.

Thank you for all your hard efforts :)

Hello SynapseLapse,

You've just made a bunch of folks at the Killmonday Games Studio very happy with your comment. Thanks so much for posting!

And you're right that the Legacy Game Maker version of the game does cap the frame rate to 30. The new (Unity) version has three settings for VSync in the game's "Options" menu. "Every Second VBlank" locks the FPS to 30, "Every V Blank" locks the FPS to 60, and "NO V-Sync" has unlimited FPS.

I hope you enjoy playing again! Thanks again for posting.

Any chance you allow FPS lock to 144hz?

Would be great to avoid to go in GPU settings to lock them! I hate VSYNC predetermined to 60FPS
