Cryptopia has introduced updates aimed at improving game performance and optimizing blockchain interactions.
Rendering and Performance Optimization
The Cryptopia team focused on reducing GPU load by batching multiple assets into a single processor call. Level of Detail (LOD) optimization allows for using lower-resolution models for distant objects, reducing render times from 40ms to 25ms.
Blockchain Transaction Tracking Improvements
Cryptopia's economy relies on multi-signature wallets and internal smart contracts. In partnership with @DappRadar, custom event tracking and multi-signature wallet support were implemented, enhancing $TOS transactions transparency.
Vegetation Masking and Shadows Optimization
Vegetation masking was a significant GPU bottleneck. Alternative rendering methods, such as fade-out effects, and preloaded mask data were introduced. Shadows have been improved with smoother transitions and dynamic updates based on the time of day.
Updates in Cryptopia aim to enhance performance and visual quality, making the game more accessible to a wide range of hardware and improving blockchain interaction.
