October Android Port Update


minus25.png

Dear shipmates,

Only 2.5 things left for the Android port! The electrical panel is fully functional, and half of the settings are working - including rendering settings for the ocean, land, and sky.

Moreover, as you'll see in the video, I've added a tiny new feature to Floating Sandbox - see if you can spot it!

This new feature has been immediately ported to the PC version, of which an update will be coming shortly. The update will contain many of the performance and stability improvements that came out during the Android port, making for a nice feedback loop between the two versions - each port making the other better!

Gonna work on the remaining 2.5 things now: finish the second half of the settings, add the ships (which will be exclusive to Floating Sandbox Mobile), and code the audio sub-system.

Speaking of which, right after publishing this video I'll be typing these exact letters in Android Studio:

#include <aaudio/AAudio.h>

Talk to you soon, hopefully with a new video making sounds ;-)

Gabe

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…).

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)

Today I tackled drawing different variations of facial expressions for one of the main characters in Eden. What do you think of it? :) Eden: https://gamejolt.com/games/Eden/592698
