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.

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)
