Open DocumentationGameVault Standard
Systems support the atmosphere; atmosphere supports the story; story supports the player experience. Optimization protects the entire experience.
Performance & Optimization
Performance is part of the design
Input Responsiveness
Controls respond immediately and consistently without artificial latency.
Frame Stability
Camera and animation are designed around stable frame pacing with minimal hitching.
AI Optimization
NPC reasoning and pathfinding stay active without overwhelming CPU budgets.
Memory Management
Unused assets and distant systems unload or reduce update frequency.
Graphics Scaling
Visual settings scale so quality never blocks responsive play.
World Streaming
Large spaces stream progressively rather than freezing during transitions.
Network Performance
Online titles account for latency, interpolation, packet loss, and fair synchronization.
Website Optimization
Images lazy-load, intrinsic dimensions reduce layout shift, and heavy media does not preload unnecessarily.
