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!

Chiaki Nanami!

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

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…).

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.

not the greatest house, but it's a house! :D
