so, I tried it over a couple of days in a browser, my thoughts:
Thanks for the feedback.
I investigated the freeze and to my best understanding it is related to "browser throttling mechanism" that aims to preserve resources. As you mentioned, reloading fixes this, and there is no progress loss as the game will auto calculate freeze time as offline.
In the non-web version running for days memory usage remains unchanged. So Steam release won't freeze.
Yeah, I believe memory hogging is a common trait of all webgl games, I was just very impressed that it ate about 11 gigs of ram at some point. To be fair, I was running an older version, and I saw you updated the game, so it may or may not be better now.
Can this game be released on GOG or itch.io in addition to Steam?
You mean downloadable version? It will, some time later this year.
By the way, this web version is already the full game, just can't be downloaded yet.
if you follow me i follow you.
