We have stars
This is the pre-release for the next version, 0.73.0. Contains full game and all assets.
» Download for Windows x64
» Download for Linux x64
Please note that the Linux build, at least on the testing machine, renders far fewer stars than the Windows build (using the exact same computer and exact same GPU). After some research it was found that GL points are not really appropriate for... well... anything production-level. This issue will remain until points are replaced with other primitives in a future build.
Notable changes since previous beta release:
- Now generates in-game stars from real star catalog containing Earth-visible stars.
- Adds the debug tools menu.
- Adds testing option to fly through star catalog data (via
Backspace -> Debug Tools -> Star free-flight
). - Adds mechanisms that do some graphics processing in a separate thread for better performance.
- Adds lighting (light source faked for now).
- Adds boot progress screen in the bottom left.
- Add option to modify game settings via config file (menus for these coming soon).
This release adds 116 new commits since Beta1 for a total of 260 commits since inception.
