Animal Well
Stardew Valley
Animal Well seems right up my alley but running on wine my cpu inexplicably struggles way more than games with similar graphics. The performance issues are preventing me from getting deep into it.
Is it only in some rooms?
There's a lighting effect (those shimmering ribbons in the egg room) that makes mine struggle too, but turning the graphics down to "good" gets rid of that effect and fixes the issue.
I don't think so, but it's been a while. I know when you hit "new game" it shows four sprites for colored flames on a totally black background and then they disappear one-by-one with a repeated sound effect for each, and I can't come up with a reason why that wouldn't be easier to render than any part of the gameplay but that's the one place where I was guaranteed to notice, the flame sprites start moving especially slowly and sometimes even lag behind the audio. Every so often I'll give it another go to see if any updates (wine or drivers) have improved that, and at one point it did get a decent bit better but still noticeable and still led to some latency in actual gameplay here and there, so I just use that as my test for if it's playable for me yet.
For so many games wine works amazingly well, just looking at the graphics I find it so weird it chooses to crap out on this one.
