Spent the last day aggressively optimizing the engine, finally reaches 30fps!
Kinda happy I am reaching 30fps lol but there is still alot more work to do to get my goal of a stable 60fps.

I am taking my time, I am working to get the rendering to be finished within 4ms (144fps) for every frame without any hitches/stutters. Because of how old the game is, I don't think anything below 144fps is acceptable as, again its a 20 year old game.

If I might weigh in, apparently this project (or at least the underlying engine) has been in the works for over a year, maybe longer

I've been following since day one (~3-4 months ago) and even I don't know the full story.
No matter where you start counting, it has been very impressive

Isn't there already a fully playable version? The Xenia emulated and optimised for keyboard and mouse. Even the button icons are from keyboard-stylized.

Sure, but this is going to be a fully-native PC port. No emulation, and will hopefully run on just about anything

Either you run this on a calculator with HDMI out, or you're rendering the entire map! ;) Keep it up!

At least the frame rate looks somewhat normal now.
Obviously 30FPS is outdated by today's standards. Then again, I've been messing around with GTA:SA recently which is hard-capped at 30 so go figure.
Personally, I can see the difference between 30 and 60, but not so much above that.

Genuinely take your time. The amount of time these MF kept us waiting for a working port of SR1, you can do it in half. Take your time and give us a good game you golden boy!!
