187.5 and 24,300 - or, Second Performance Update!


Dear shipmates,

Stick in your mind these two measurements: 187.5 and 24,300. They are the measurements of our "large benchmark bar" model with the current implementation and parameters of the spring relaxation algorithm in Floating Sandbox 1.17.5: bending is 187.5, and CPU time per-frame is 24,300μs. These are neatly explained in the second post of our series, which you may find at https://gabrielegiuseppini.wordpress.com/2023/04/23/adventures-with-mass-spring-networks-part-ii/.

These numbers are the starting point of our quest to improve performance and rigidity of the simulator. As we experiment with different algorithms and optimizations, any bending measurement lower than 187.5 or any CPU time lower than 24,300μs will signify an improvement for the upcoming Floating Sandbox 1.18.0 update.

You may track our progress with these improvements by following our blog series. Keep on eye on these numbers!

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

Just a Pico sprite

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.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698
