June Status Update


Dear shipmates, a quick preview of one of the features in the upcoming 1.17.3 update of Floating Sandbox, the "Stress Overlay" visualization.

When enabled, this visualization displays the stress field generated by springs during the mass-spring simulation, shedding light on the dynamics of stress and on how shock waves propagate inside a structure. This feature has been inspired by our long-time friend Pac0master, and by CAD software such as this.

Here's the video - and by the way, if you look closely, you might also catch another feature in action which will be released with 1.17.3 :-)

Note that the visualization is still work in progress and might differ from the one that will be released with the update.

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.

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

I was bored, so... ManutKat.

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

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)
