October Android Port Update


minus25.png

Dear shipmates,

Only 2.5 things left for the Android port! The electrical panel is fully functional, and half of the settings are working - including rendering settings for the ocean, land, and sky.

Moreover, as you'll see in the video, I've added a tiny new feature to Floating Sandbox - see if you can spot it!

This new feature has been immediately ported to the PC version, of which an update will be coming shortly. The update will contain many of the performance and stability improvements that came out during the Android port, making for a nice feedback loop between the two versions - each port making the other better!

Gonna work on the remaining 2.5 things now: finish the second half of the settings, add the ships (which will be exclusive to Floating Sandbox Mobile), and code the audio sub-system.

Speaking of which, right after publishing this video I'll be typing these exact letters in Android Studio:

#include <aaudio/AAudio.h>

Talk to you soon, hopefully with a new video making sounds ;-)

Gabe

Sneak Peek at the New Water Flood Algorithm

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Showing off player 2 😎

What do you think?

An infected room from the second part of Cybel ! Are you up for some cleansing?

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.
