Looking good as always, Wolfire team!
Optimisations are always a great thing, even if they just would be small (and imo your optimisations sounds great this week, I was so sad to not be able to play last weeks alpha :( ). But: I miss the Video :( Even if you are not able to show much, I like your voice and all the small technical background infos that you can not get from a simple changelog.
No video :(
Anyway, great job with this update too!
"This week David focused on optimizations and bug fixes, which would be hard to demonstrate in a video."
Optimization can and might be the biggest and most important aspect of any game.
A game that isn't polished in this end, tends to be really frustrating while playing, also very 'unresponsive' on some machines.
I don't mind there isn't a video this week, since until now you never left us down with your work.
As alwwys, thumbs up while i take off my hat to you gentlemen.
Can't wait for next week work.
Oh well, i think video wasn't nessessary for such changelog.
nice!
One of my favorite indie companies i must say :) I still havent gotten around to BUY this yet though, mainly because i dont have paypal...
well well, i get a new computer and money in the end of this month, a good oppurtunity arises? :) keep up the excellent work guys!
And i LOVE your videos: i, whom am pretty into modelling and game industry learn a lot and find it extremely interesting. Thank you for that :)
I miss the video ('cause I always like those) but I agree that these changes wouldn't really have warranted one.
Keep up the great work guys!
Love these updates. Love them more with videos, but definitely one of the best indie games I follow because it's so actively worked on and has such crucial updates sometimes.
Keep it up!
