Step 1: Performance Analysis
First, we measure FPS - from launching the game to entering the city. There are some places where sags are noticeable, so we need to figure out what exactly is causing the lags.

Step 2: Search for problems
Next, we look into the profiler and study in detail what processes load the system and slow down the frames.

Step 3: Optimization
After a thorough analysis, we begin the long but important work - optimization. We fix key issues, eliminate bottlenecks, and... the result speaks for itself!

Step 4: FPS Improvement
After optimization, the performance in some places has significantly increased, and most of the lags have disappeared. Now the game runs smoother, and the driving process becomes even more comfortable!

Clan Clan’s outfit is still being worked on, alongside refinements to other girls and faction units.
Passive Weapons Tweaked & Visually Updated.
Optimized lighting keeps strong visuals without sacrificing performance.
Projectiles now consume fewer system resources, improving performance.
Some sounds have been tweaked, but a full audio update is still in progress.

🛠️ Until the new melee combat system is fully integrated.
Crusader Room & Mission Mode: Still in development, but will be added once the main gameplay loop is fully polished.
Rogue Faction Spawns Temporarily Disabled.
Not All Visual Effects Are Finalized: Some effects are still missing in-game.

💬Thank you all for the amazing support and feedback! I’m working hard to push Unreal Engine to its limits and make Starmetal Crusaders as fun and polished as possible. There’s still more work to do, but things are really coming together.
If you have thoughts, feedback, or just want to say hi, drop by the Discord—I’d love to hear from you!

Hey! It's time for another update of this game.

Although we redesigned some key parts of the game, progress is going well on our public demo. Hopefully, it will be released by the end of the month. Fingers crossed!

To care for your patient, we plan on having eight mini-games in the final game. All will be playable in full-screen, while your picking them up, so that they're easier to do the first time. But all will also be doable while you're driving so that you can raise back the health of your patient if you drove badly!

This week, I'd like to focus on the immobilisation mini-game. When you're given care of a patient that received an injury to a limb, it's often important to prevent that limb from doing any movement. This eases the pain and ensures the situation doesn't deteriorate more.



To that end, this mini-game has you use a pump to inflate a vacuum splint. You must inflate it enough for the limb to be secured but not too much as to not cause too much discomfort.

There's been quite some progress on the audio front, with new engine sounds and more general mixing. That's hard to show on an image, obviously! But we can talk about one important aspect of the audio of game.

Paramedics spending most of their days driving, not necessarily in urgence, they listen to a lot of music. Some even do work playlists! Our approach here will be to give you six radios to listen to. Using the holowatch, you'll be able to easily change which one you'd like to ear. All will feature varied styles, from punk rock to latin music, probably some electronic music too.



In between the tracks, radio jingles and news will pop up. These will be designed to immerse you even more in our beautiful city of Le Mascaret. By the way, do you know what Mascaret means? It's french for a tidal bore, a wave that goes backwards: from the sea, up the river!

I must tell you something: listening to hours of music for work is a lot less fun than it sounds! (pun intended) It's about finding which tunes suit best, writing them down, grouping them together, trimming the list again and again... It's a lot of spreadsheets! DJ'ing isn't just about showing off on stage, it would seem.

Let us know which styles you think would be best to drive to!

By the end of next week, all three mini-games planned for the demo should be working. Maybe we will show you the other two. There will probably be many surprises for us by then. Maybe the new name of the game? We'll see!

See you next time and remember to take good care of yourself!

Hey Heretics!

We’re excited to release a small update that fixes and improves some bugs.

Bug Fixes:

Gamepad vibration support added (with an option to disable it in settings)

Max rune count reduced to 8, you don't get a new rune at the start of an endless run anymore

Fixed a rare crash when you arrive to endless mode with 3 or fewer tower slots

Master Gilbo now doesn't have his initial tower choices locked if previous run was started with garrison(s)

Fixed leaderboards for Gilbo

Killed sinners won't longer increase the counter after HP reaches zero

Refund card logic fixed. Now the level of a returned structure is always correct

Fixed various issues with shift saving system, including emergency endless mode save

Loaded shift won't longer crash if you have an Acorn active ability

Synergist card effect now stacks and toggles properly (it is destroy-on-use now though)

Fixed tons of minor UI issues. Now every element is in it's place, no matter how much time you change stages

Fixed a rare issue when Sunder towers might force the sound system to go crazy

Fixed some issues for Japanese font


Thanks for your support, and see you soon!

Dear Players,
Thank you for your continued support and love for Zerium War: Destiny! Since the beginning of the year, we have released the demo pack of "Zerium War: Destiny", and we have received a lot of enthusiastic feedback, and today our production team has also updated the content of the demo pack!

1️⃣ Open skin replacement function:
Everyone complains that our existing protagonist is too ugly and has no eyes! In order to give everyone more freedom to express their individuality, we have added a new function to change character skins. Now, you can choose different characters to fight according to your preferences.

1️⃣ Bullet Launch Position Optimization:
In this update, the position of bullet firing has been adjusted to ensure that the combat strike is more visually reasonable and the combat experience is smoother. (Special thanks to the player "Big Fish Drinking Coke" for their feedback)

2️⃣ Game Perspective Highly Optimized:
Many players have reported that the game perspective is uncomfortable, so we have adjusted the height and range of the game to make the game more horizontal. But I don't know if this feeling can make everyone comfortable, and I hope you can tell us how you feel after experiencing the new version! Thank you so much! (Special thanks to players for their feedback such as "Chic Xiaosa" and "Spring Breeze and Rain")

3️⃣ Viewing angle sensitivity optimization:
We've increased the sensitivity of the viewing angle, giving you more flexibility to adjust the viewing angle when operating, whether it's for quick steering or precise aiming. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the player's operation experience! (Special thanks to players for their feedback on "Watching the Sea in the Rain")

1️⃣ Sprint stuck issue fixes:
Fixed a possible stuttering issue during a sprint to ensure a smooth sprint.

Although we have only solved some of the problems reported by players this time, we also know that there are still many areas that need to be improved and improved, such as "the UI interface and scenes are rough and simple", "the characters are stiff", "the meat pigeon is not enough and feels bored", "music and sound effects are ghostly", etc., which may take a long period to completely improve.

But we have taken all your suggestions and opinions seriously! And actively discuss the optimization, and will gradually present it to you in the follow-up demo update, bringing you a better game experience ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و

Finally, our production team would like to say to you that we are always listening to the voices of players, and we really appreciate your feedback and suggestions, it is your valuable comments that make us continue to improve 🏃. Therefore, we hope that you will continue to give us valuable ideas and suggestions, whether it is gameplay, graphics, or anything else! We will all take it seriously and actively adopt it.

Thank you again for your support and love for Zerium War: Destiny! We will continue to work hard to 💪 bring you a better gaming experience 🍀
