RobbyZ's Blog

Well, I only got one submission for the fanart contest, so choosing a winner was very easy! 😉

Here is Vrocaan’s submission, which shows several new weapons that would be pretty cool to have in-game, and sooner or later I’ll get around to implementing:

For his efforts, Vrocaan gets 250g!

I wrote an app to generate many connections to the server and simulate many players moving around:

After doing some optimizations (now on the live server), I was pleased to have the server still perform well, even with 250 (simulated) players moving around at the same time. Since the server is running in debug mode, I expect once I switch to release mode it will be even higher!

I got a new frontpage set up today that has a little description and embedded trailer. This is nice because new users can see what the game is before downloading a meg of code & asset files.

If you’re running in low-res, it’ll autohide the sidebar, and otherwise it’ll show it in normal situations. I tested the site in Firefox, Chrome, and IE — but if it looks broken in your browser, please let me know.
