Скачать или смотреть Brick Hill Optimized Client (GameMaker 8.1 3D)

Update: This optimized client has long already been released as an official update. Many other updates to include bug fixes and more optimizations such as clustering and using GM8.1 extensions like d3d_model_load_fast are still happening despite the somewhat feature locked client. As a side note it does surprise me that GM8.1 is still being used today with tools and extensions like OpenGMK and Game Maker 8.2, really have to give respect for those folk.

GameMaker 8.1 is much more capable if you do it correctly. The Brick Hill legacy client is not optimized and it's not entirely because of GM8.1 as everyone blames but it's how the game renders the bricks (and "ticks" them). Brick Hill legacy does not do any attempt to reduce the draw calls it makes and has too many draw calls per frame.

By using GameMaker's d3d_model functions instead of only using d3d_draw, you can achieve high performance gameplay, this also reduces the number of draw calls.
