Frontier Maintenance Work, Step 3


Dear Shipmates,

The work for maintaining ships' frontiers is finally complete! Here's a video showcasing the last step in the development of these algorithms:

These have been quite a few exhausting weeks, designing the various frontier algorithms, coding them, testing the results, and optimizing the code. We are so tired now that we've decided to have a little "vacation" and code away a new, funny feature that has been on the Floating Sandbox wishlist for a long time. We're not going to disclose much at this moment, but let's just stay that it's a feature which, technically, has little to do with sinking ships...

We'll probably post a teaser once the "vacation" is over and we're ready to start working on hydrodynamics.

Stay tuned!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Runestones: from concept to in-game model🗿

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Update 2.627

New challenges & new effects!

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Very ambitious construction going on in Planet Zoo on Plays today. We're tryin'. LIVE: www.twitch.tv/dreamhackplays
