Hey Book Lovers,In this small patch, I continued working on the game's performance, this time by optimising the light and shadow calculations. Previously, around 1,500 shadows were calculated at once, but the trouble was that many of these shadows weren't even possible due to walls or other blocking elements. I have now limited and specified this so that only around 200-300 shadows are calculated, which has resulted in a significant performance boost.I have also added a little more background noise to make the game seem less quiet.Have a great week!
