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

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

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

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

Auto-chess meets Clash Royale in an intense strategic battle. Outsmart your opponent, hide your play and crush their armies! Empire Builder just got another major update, check it out! https://gamejolt.com/games/EmpireBuilder/558901

Here's a Fredbear sprite i made in Aseprite! I'm pretty proud of this!
