Significantly Faster Loading Times
Hey everyone!
Following yesterday’s big update, I have a few quick additions that further improve on yesterday's release.
💾 Memory Use Down
The game now uses up to 2 GB of memory instead of 3 GB which is down from 4G on the original release. This should make it easier to run on mid-range and older PCs. You should see fewer hiccups and smoother performance overall.
🚀 Faster Loading Times
The game now runs on Java 25, which brought a big boost in how quickly assets like textures, music, and animations load. You’ll notice much shorter load times when starting the game or moving between areas.
🎬 Quicker Scene Transitions
Switching between scenes is now way faster — those little pauses between levels or cutscenes are lightning fast now.
🧠 What This Means for You
Even if you don’t follow the tech side of things, what matters most is this:
-
The game loads faster
-
Transitions are smoother
-
Everything just feels more responsive and polished
This was all part of a bigger effort to make Nikias and the Fall of Olympus play great on as many systems as possible.

Nikias and the Fall Of Olympus
A lost son. A fallen pantheon. One mortal’s quest to reclaim Olympus.
