Plan for Next Release: Metallblech

gk has a great concept for the next game, which you can see here. That game will be part of a new release.

Help from community members would be great, and let us get to the release faster. Stuff we will need help with includes
  • Coding the new gk game linked to above. Mainly we will use existing scripts and customize them, but there will also be a few new things as well
  • Testing that game
  • Need to decide if to merge from the development branch for this release - if so, will require more testing time. Opinions?
  • Making binary builds for Linux, Windows, OS X
There is no timeline, it really depends on how much help we get. But it will be awesome when it arrives! :)

    I thought the point of the new game was to have it for the next release. In your last blog post, you noted that a new game should be created for the next version of syntensity. I believe this is what prompted GK to start working on the Mech game.

  3. jiluna>>I don't think the new game has much to do with the new features

    As for the merge,the most interesting thing from what I have seen probably is iqm support,alpha blending and probably saur enhanced effects(as we are pretty limited on that part)
    I'd say a good idea is to look for good point to sync once and release that as the new version
