On Saturday 05th October 2024 at 19:15 UTC a Free / Libre GTA clone made by me [Dani's Race](https://blenderdumbass.codeberg.page/DanisRace/) will be streamed on a PeerTube channel [opensource_gaming](https://video.hardlimit.com/c/opensource_gaming/videos). Please Join the stream! https://video.hardlimit.com/c/opensource_gaming/videos 
[UPBGE](https://upbge.org) is notorious for being slow. Partially for [CPU and GPU not sharing time](https://github.com/UPBGE/upbge/issues/1877). That didn't stop us from trying to squeeze more FPS from the game [Dani's Race](https://blenderdumbass.codeberg.page/DanisRace/). # Why? A mistake was made, to start the development of Dani's Race on the same machine where [Moria's Race](https://blenderdumbass.codeberg.page/MoriasRace/) ( the first part of the saga ) was animated. That made it feel like choosing UPBGE as the game engine was the right choice. And also made it so little to no afford was put to optimization. ## Franz opensource_gaming stream! On 30th of September 2024 ( few days ago ) a PeerTube streamer [opensource_gaming](https://video.hardlimit.com/c/opensource_gaming/videos) streamed the first part of the saga, the Moria's Race short film. https://video.hardlimit.com/c/opensource_gaming/videos Subsequently he had trouble running the game at anywhere near a sane FPS. Which resulted in a urgent need to try to optimize it, for it to be stream-able by him. The new ( still unavailable ) build of the game now significantly increased performance. Not yet enough, by most people's standards. But hopefully enough for a stream to happen. # When will the optimization be available? The latest release of the game at the moment was [25-09-24](https://blenderdumbass.codeberg.page/files/DanisRace_25_09_24/) which is yet to be unlocked by general public for general public. If and when it will be unlocked, a new release could be placed for an unlock too. This time including all the recent optimization changes.

There was a whole big problem with character trying to go into cars and no being able to do so. So I had to come up with some solution. This is so far the best I did. They are facing with the one side at the center of the obstacle ( sensed by the ray ) and walk forward.
Also I made passengers sit on a different side of the car ( available only for 2 cars atm )
And yeah, Jack has no animations yet.
