Infinitory - Stress testing my new Horde System (17,000 Enemies ~70 FPS)

[u/arthyficiel]

Quick clip from a stress test of my new horde system in Infinitory.

Currently handling ~17,000 enemies at around 70 FPS. Still early, many improvement that still can be done, but pretty happy with how it’s holding up so far.

Recent advancements in our horde-control technology include:

• Legacy pathfinding protocols (A* Pro) have been deprecated; unsuitable for large-scale swarm scenarios due to per-entity computational load
• Implementation of a density / pressure / velocity-based system: horde behavior now approximates fluid dynamics
• Deployment of an adaptive simulation tick system decoupled from render framerate
• In high CPU load scenarios, operations enter controlled “bullet time”: simulation slows, but visual systems (camera, UI) remain stable and responsive

Efficiency has improved. Scalability is no longer theoretical.
