New default branch to help with graphical issues / game slowdown

Hello everyone,

We have put up a new default branch of the game.
The main fix in this branch is the ability to tinker with graphical options.
These options can be accessed from here:

1. Start new game or load save data.
2. Press Esc Key to open sub menu
3. Choose Graphics Settings.

Here you will be able to change:

Shadow Setting
Draw Quality Setting
Background Setting

As I mentioned in my previous post I was able to double the FPS performance by lowering these settings, so those of you with FPS issues please give this a try.

We are still working very hard to make this game more optimized for PC so hang on tight for more updates.

Thank you.

Additional Announcement Regarding Current Beta Build (6/13/2017) - BETTER FPS!

Hello everyone,

We made an announcement about a week ago (8 days to be exact) saying we added keyboard key configuration options.

What I (Prinny Toshi) overlooked was that, by following the steps below there are additional graphics options not in the options menu.

1. Start new game or load save data.
2. Press Esc Key to open sub menu
3. Choose Graphics Settings.

In this menu you are able to change these settings.

Shadow Setting
Draw Quality Setting
Background Setting

Personally I was able to DOUBLE my FPS from around 20~30 to 50~60.

We are still working very hard to make this game more optimized for PC so hang on tight for more updates.

Thank you... dood.
