Technicalities

Platform

I have developed Timeleap for both the Windows and Linux desktop platform. This is due to the increasing market of people using Linux for gaming. This could be due to the increasing number of users owning a Steam Deck by Valve, but could also be due to the increasing number of desktop gamers who tend to use Linux over Windows. There are a few challenges accompanied by this, but throughout development I have been testing consistently on both Linux and Windows systems.

Target Hardware

I have optimised my game to run on a large variety of hardware. This prevents the potential audience from not needing an incredibly high specification system to play my game with an optimal experience. I have done this as a counter to the number of modern games which have been released year by year, with increasingly more and more powerful hardware requirements for their games to run smoothly. To be more specific, here is the baseline minimum spec to run my game smoothly:

• CPU: Intel i5 6400 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600

• Memory: 8GiB Minimum, 16GiB Recommended

• Storage: 10GiB Available

• OS: Windows 10 64-Bit / Linux distro with Kernel 4.19 LTS or newer

• Display: 1920x1080 Resolution recommended

Software & Hardware Technicalities

• Game Engine: Unity Engine 2022.3.0f1

• Graphics Pipeline: Universal Render Pipeline

• IDE: JetBrains Rider

• VCS: GitHub via Git Bash w/ ZSH

• Graphics API Frontend: Vulkan

• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 22H2 / Linux Mint 21.2 "Victoria" / Fedora Linux Release 39

Timeleap has been tested consistently on the following hardware:
