I've seen this thread enough times without trying it, I think it's about time. Thanks for the updates.

[nenjin]

This is really nice, a real homage to the Mythos and a nice solid rogue-like to boot. I like the insanity mechanic, it's a fresh combination of randomness and tension that kind of drives the whole thing. I really hope you continue going with this, there are tons of places I would love to see it go.

Awesome so far, love the tiles and the fantastic atmosphere. Nothing beats walking into a room of cultists and zombies, shooting one from behind with a pistol, and realizing that was your last bullet as they all turn their axes/tommyguns/whatever on you.
May Cthulhu eat your mind last so you can keep being awesome.

I'm seeing execrable performance on windows vista. With nothing else running in the system, by the time I hit the end of the first level, it was taking 2-3 seconds real time per move. I could watch bullets move through each square on their way to their target.

Ah yes. Nervous moments like those are the best

That's strange... never heard of that happening for anyone before. I will check if there's a memory leak.

I've spent some time looking at the resource monitor while playing. Memory use does not increase has performance increases, but CPU usage does (why does it take 5 seconds of a full core worth of cpu time to fire a bullet?) and watching for a decrease in CPU usage is a good way of gauging when performance has recovered.

[Törnqvist]

When things like projectile rendering is going on, the CPU runs at 100% simply because no keys are being read. It's not 100% because it's a super heavy operation, it's just claiming resources during the rendering loop.

Just to exclude a possibility, did you change anything in the game's config-file? It's possible to set the projectile delay there.

[BishopX]

Nope, no configuration changes.

v12.1

http://infraarcana.wikispaces.com/Downloads

*Linux version
*The game should use a lot less CPU power
*Smoother rendering in certain cases (e.g. no flickering when blinded)
*Blue colors are brighter for better visibility

[BishopX]

Awesome!
