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

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?

Just a Pico sprite

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Regular exercise is key for healthy wings.
