Key quotes
· 4 pulledI've been using JavaScript + the KAPLAY game library to make this game but I've been experiencing performance issues.
However, it seems that others aren't experiencing them so now I wonder, is it just my machine?
I'm using a Macbook Air M3 with 16GB of RAM. Normally, things should be smooth and they are when playing the game in the browser via Firefox.
However, since I'm making this game with Steam in mind, it's especially important to ensure smooth performance across different systems.
