1.6.0 Released!


For this release I’ve re-written most of the OpenGL code, adding atlases and optimizing batches, among other things. Performance has improved noticeably, mostly to make room for more simulation work in future releases.

Changes in this version:

  • Added anti-matter bomb

  • Added more control over sound effects and music

  • Game now starts in full-screen mode, and user can switch back and forth between full-screen mode and normal-screen mode

  • Paid off considerably technical debt in the OpenGL domain,
    with 20% performance improvement in the rendering subsystem

  • Another 10% performance improvement in the water and land contour interpolation

  • Revised bomb blast simulations

  • Lots of new ships, thanks to many contributors

We are under attack!

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?
