Optimizing First Rock from the Sun


Hey there!

I recently went through and updated a lot about First Rock from the Sun.  

I spent the last ~2 months learning more about Unreal and about optimizations.  I made a bunch of sweeping changes to the game that increased performance greatly: 

  • New options menu to control resolution and graphics quality
  • Lighting changes
  • Model changes
  • General code updates to reduce per-frame operations

If you would like to read more about the details you can do so on my website here: https://mharrisgames.com/optimizing-first-rock-from-the-sun/

I plan on going through the rest of my projects in a similar fashion in the coming months.

Thanks!,

Mike
