Saltsea Chronicles is a new story-driven adventure game from the award-winning indie studio Die Gute Fabrik.
Captain Maja’s misfit crew must heist their impounded ship and mount a rescue. Guide the crew across islands of a post-flood world known as ‘Saltsea’. Explore strange and wonderful communities, uncover a deep conspiracy, choose where to go and which crew members to investigate with, and chart a journey through twists and turns, difficulties and delights.
my contributions
I was brought on the team near the game’s release to assist with last minute performance optimization and bug-fixing, in preparation for Switch certification. We were working with a tight deadline so my focus was in identifying quick wins and addressing bugs in ways that had the least potential side effects possible, as there wasn’t a lot of time to get familiar with the code-base. I succeeded in improving the game’s frame-rate on Switch from 20 to 40 FPS, resolve a number of lag-spike situations by optimizing part of the UI setup, and helped with fixing a number of bugs when they popped up.
Saltsea Chronicles was developed in Unity using Ink as narrative scripting language.
