UPBGE is notorious for being slow. Partially for CPU and GPU not sharing time. That didn't stop us from trying to squeeze more FPS from the game Dani's Race.
A mistake was made, to start the development of Dani's Race on the same machine where Moria's Race ( the first part of the saga ) was animated. That made it feel like choosing UPBGE as the game engine was the right choice. And also made it so little to no afford was put to optimization.
On 30th of September 2024 ( few days ago ) a PeerTube streamer opensource_gaming streamed the first part of the saga, the Moria's Race short film.

Subsequently he had trouble running the game at anywhere near a sane FPS. Which resulted in a urgent need to try to optimize it, for it to be stream-able by him. The new ( still unavailable ) build of the game now significantly increased performance. Not yet enough, by most people's standards. But hopefully enough for a stream to happen.
The latest release of the game at the moment was 25-09-24 which is yet to be unlocked by general public for general public. If and when it will be unlocked, a new release could be placed for an unlock too. This time including all the recent optimization changes.
Dani's Race version 07-07-24 is almost released! https://blenderdumbass.codeberg.page/files/DanisRace_07_07_24/
I made a very basic multiplayer support for this game. We tested it with a few friends. It is somewhat working.
Launcher and settings.
Working on new fire stuff.
Nothing too complicated, I just implemented a day-night cycle.
That is a neonspeedster with a spoiler.

Now with a tuning system. ( For now only nitrous and spoilers )
There are now fixing and coloring tools. ( Those are kind of like the guns in this game lol )
