Hello my Kritters!
I hope your are all having a great summer time because I do. Today we updated the Kritter demo with many bug fixes as well as performance optimization.
I can't exactly say how many % of fps you'll gain, but I reduces rendering draw calls to a third of what we had before and I also added culling on all animations and particle systems. From our tests the result is great but I'd love to get your feeback .
One bug in particular, the "I can't resurect my friend and can't even see my body" is a terrible one and I didn't find a way to reproduce it. Though, I guessed what happened and it should be fixed. Please tell me if you still come accross that nasty one.
Let's go for the patch note !
Patch note 0.8.15

You now can get the wave reward even if you are dead.
