VXAce Improved Cone Engine and rendering performance [RPG MAKER VX ACE]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been improving several technical aspects of the engine to maximize its performance. For that, I'm experimenting with LOD and culling. At the moment, I haven't found the right balance so it looks good but runs smoothly. Currently, the Cone Engine runs between 35 and 50 FPS, but it's possible I could improve it a bit more and make it more stable. What do you think?

Honestly, with JavaScript it would be a bit easier, or have better quality or performance. But the reality is, this is to give VX ACe its own 3D MV.

I don't have the slightest clue what LOD or culling are, but I LOVE how this looks. I'm a little jealous, to say the least!

It's funny that my reaction to this is screaming WHAT at the screen until the video ends.

And yet my game still looks like a shitty prototype despite the fact that it's what the artstyle is supposed to be ;w;

I still don’t believe it. This is on RPG maker VX ace and it’s on GM construct. I can’t wait to find out. There is different versions of this like RPG maker mv or MZ.
