2 years ago One possible way would be to run the same function that processes progress but instead of each frame we process several seconds at once. This would be less precise but would allow faster processing of offline time
Curent State
Once the game is closed, manually or by the OS, All progress stops
Desired State
At startup the game calculates what would have happened if it had kept running
Rational
Idle and incremental games do not require Player constant involvement. The player might want to use this downtime for more productive tasks without being punished for leaving the game.
