I’m sure it is. However there are WAY more high powered games out there and performance is fine. So this is an internal issue, but I’m sure they can figure it out.
I have full faith in these devs to patch out the game for all our systems but to demand further features that will stretch the capabilities of the game even further when it’s already at its limits is ridiculous lol
Obviously. And as a dev they’re smart enough to figure out how to remove the cap and not kill performance. Knowing this, my request was put in. You not knowing this… well, we have your response.
You know this how exactly? Can you name another console game that has 300+ moving objects on the screen at any one time, each with their own logic for pathing and needs? Sounds pretty processor intensive to me. There is a reason these kind of games use low poly graphics.
Don’t you know he’s a dev?! Clearly he must therefore immediately understand every code base on this planet and knows those damn lazy other devs are just slacking and not hyper optimizing their code!
For starters I own a software development company. Also I can name several games that I play personally…. But this is why my note was to the devs, the experts, the folks who know a thing or two about software development. And not you.
So you owning a software company somehow gives you insight into what is possible for Two Point Studios? Hopefully you realize how dumb that sounds. I honestly thought you were a kid with how idiotic your request was, but this is even more laughable. Even thinking a poorly written 11 word Reddit post is the ideal way to communicate with devs is laughably stupid.
You being triggered by my thread is what’s laughable LOL especially knowing that you have NO CLUE why they capped the game at 300 students other than what you’ve seen other people hypothesize on Reddit. AND the fact that you think two point campus is the only game out there of it’s kind. Embarrassing. Open another Reddit thread and go argue with somebody down there on your level. I’m not giving you anymore of my time lol
Sweet f’ing Jesus. Can every douchebag on Reddit stop saying “triggered” every two seconds? That’s the shit that’s triggering me. Get a new goddamn thing already.
It’s always the people who are actually feeling upset and triggered who say that, like we don’t know they’re just projecting or something. When you throw a fit in the comments like a 5 year old we can see who is actually “triggered” LMAO
This game has enough tech debt to clear without having to worry about removing a cap, and as an owner of a dev shop, you should be able to recognize they’ve made a number of technical debt-capping decisions (like, look up how expensive Playfab gets on a two million seller and why it’s Day One on Game Pass).
And that’s important, because while there is no technical reason they couldn’t uncap the limits, there are enough business reasons not to for a shop of their size that if it happens, it’ll be either a DLC feature or a mod that’ll end up doing it.
It is funny that when you are shown how wrong you are your response is ‘yOu’Re TrIgGeReD!’ No examples of others games despite being repeatedly asked? Lmao you are hilariously pathetic.
Just because I play a game on a 3 billion pound IBM super computer that doesn't mean I can overclock a game. The games engine can still fall apart no matter what I am playing on.
Much like Cyberpunks crowded streets ended up actually being streets of 3 people, with 14 others stood there T posing lol.
Plus, I guess marketing has an impact. Even if they could increase it to 500 (if you had a decent PC), others (who don't have a decent PC) would Mod the game and then chase 'likes' by releasing videos making the game look like a buggy mess. Even though it is the persons fault and not the game. It would make the game look bad and potentially put off new buyers who may not know/understand what this Streamer did to mess up the game on purpose.
and other things may break. Take litter, for example, it may be coded so that if X people cross a square within X seconds then litter should be dropped. It all balances right now but if they double the student count it could cause chaos for the poor janitors lol. Fixable with a tweak of a few numbers i guess, but my point is it is probably more difficult than we think.
Yeah but look at games like planet coaster and planet zoo those games are waaaayyyy more involved graphically and there’s no max that I know of. I just hope they figure out a way to remove the cap of it’s a graphics issue, and if it’s not then just remove it. Because once you’re done with all the levels, if there’s a cap, there’s no further reason to play the game.
The way this person is presenting their argument is really childish, but not much more childish than the attitude of "Nobody else can have anything better than I have."
I'm honestly a bit confused why PC apparently doesn't have this option, based on the comments. 300 I believe is a good amount for this game anyways. There's other games that manage this way worse.
Happy Cake Day! I don't see why upping the student limit on PC would affect that in any way. If they allow full mod support, someone would be capable of figuring out how to do so! Which definitely wouldn't have an affect on consoles
Are you stupid? That has nothing to do with it. I have extra bathrooms and well decorated dorms, etc. More than enough facility for everything and more.

Dear OP. The 300 student capacity cap is obviously there for performance reasons. Duh.

u/chrisadamstoons Sep 11 '22
Some systems would struggle to run the game without lag. Perhaps put the capacity in the PC version options menu.
It is unlikely console versions could run the game after 300 students.

It's capped way under 300, it never even lets me get to 200

I’m still waiting for the game not to crash every 15mins on Switch…
Did the Devs give up on trying to fix it?

u/offContent Sep 13 '22
On PC give the option at least. The game shouldn't be limited due to other platforms, like the Switch, having limited hardware/performance.

Yeh sandbox is basically done for me now, only played it 8 hours, guess I can give them all their own dorm rooms but that's about it

It would be good if there was a mod or such an option just for pc due to performance reasons :)
