that's a little bit strange... I get normally get 40 fps or 30 minimum and my computer is a 1.3 ghz athlon with a gforce fx 5200... you should get like 200 fps if I get 40. The finished product will have settings you can play with to improve performance, especially to change how much of the world is loaded at a time. Being able to see a mile in all directions is just a cosmetic improvement, its not crucial to any of my gameplay ideas.
oh and you were right about the little filler midi i stuck in there! Its the robot guys theme.
Please check out the game and let me know what you think.
