First Performance Update!


Dear shipmates,

Faithful to our plan, we are very happy to announce that work to improve the performance of the rigidity simulation has not only started, but is also showing the first, *very encouraging* results.

We've started writing a multi-part blog post in which we describe not only the hurdles in implementing a mass-spring network simulation, but also our amazing progress in improving Floating Sandbox's spring relaxation algorithm.

We've just published part I of the series, and plan to write the next parts during the following weeks. By following this series you'll get updates on how our work is progressing and what degree of performance enhancement you may expect in the next release!

Sneak Peek at the New Water Flood Algorithm

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

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?

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

What you all think

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…).

Demonstration of the spells and their effects :)!
