October Android Port Update

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

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

Happy Late Easter!
