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

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.

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

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