I've got to say those glasses are very complimentary to her face.

Video to animated GIF converter Upload your video, select the part you want to convert and instanlty create a GIF in good quality for free and without watermarks.

Maybe this one, then?

ezgif.com/video-to-gif

I don't usually use their video to GIF tool, but they've got some other tools that come in really handy as well if you don't mind uploading your stuff to their servers. Have used their optimization tool a bunch.

I use Snagit, but I'm not sure they still sell permanent licenses.

Just wondering: Are diagrams more interesting to look at if they've got blood splattered all over?

Also, ich hab durch die Kerzen drei dynamische Lichter in meinem Spiel und es lรคuft bei mittleren Einstellungen mit 30 fps auf dem Steam Deck. Da schaffst du das auch Locker ;-)

19.11.2025 20:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Na ja, ein dynamisches Licht sollte schon ok sein, wenn du die Schatten nicht allzu weich machst.

Ja, dynamische Lichter mit Schatten sind auch ein Performancefresser. Wenn sich deine Lichter nicht groรŸ bewegen, kannst du aber eine Lightmap "baken" - das sieht auch gut aus und zieht die Performance nicht so runter.

Nach meiner Erfahrung sind einige dieser Effekte viel "teurer" als High-Poly.

19.11.2025 19:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Ja, genau deshalb gibt's jetzt bei mir so viele Grafikoptionen fรผr den Spieler ...

19.11.2025 19:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Allerdings hat mein Spiel keine performanceintensiven Skripte.

Es lohnt sich, den Profiler oder Visual Profiler anzuwerfen und zu schauen, ob du etwas findest, das besonders viel Performance braucht. Denke, dazu gibt es ganz gute Tutorials auf YouTube.

Schlechte Performance kann 1000 Grรผnde haben.

Optimierung ist ein richtiges Fass ohne Boden. Hier mal die Punkte, die bei mir am meisten gebracht haben:

- Stretch Mode: Viewport
- Jolt statt Default Physics Engine
- Effekte wie SSAO, SDFGI, Volumetric Fog, Reflection Probes deaktivieren (falls aktiv)
- Ja, auch Schattenqualitรคt und Auflรถsung

How I started making indie games:

- Wanted to become a game dev as a teen
- Always overscoped
- Had an existential crisis and studied humanities
- Two career changes later, came full circle and work as a programmer
- Game dev has been my most persistent hobby since
