Poll: How much RAM do you have? (Patreon)
Content
These past days I've been worried about memory consumption... :-P
One guy at the forum had problems getting the game to display backgrounds and it turned out to be that his video card was pretty old and incapable of rendering textures bigger than 4096x4096, so I went and reduced them to smaller chunks. Problem solved.
But that troubleshooting made me realize that I've been coding like a monkey and the game is consuming around 1.6 GB of RAM at its current state. And we've just started.
So, I've been spending these past days, not creating content but optimizing how the sprites are managed internally. And it's been a surprisingly hard task, though it seems I've got it right and I can expect around a 20-25% of that memory usage now.
Still, I would like to know what kind of systems you guys have, so I could set a reasonable upper limit.
I apologize for not having taken into account this issue before. I'm still learning and I kind of expected the platform to avoid memory leaks by just deactivating game objects... but it's not the case, so those guys at Unity will have me doing things the right way after all.
Damn them...! :-D
