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

Path of Kami: The Evolution of the Lore

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.

Strange Umbrella

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

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

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.

Coming Soon...

Development of my game Juno. This is the rune equipment system.
