Ahem, please allow me to illustrate:


What is this ?
Punching a dead horse while wanki** his dic* ?

I am, especially because this specific technical stuff is the kind of technical stuff that I still have to wrap my mind around.
Very nice blog entry, not the easiest to read I guess, but I approve.

By god, is it already weekly dev blog time? Why, yes, yes it is!
Here is the most boring weekly dev blog in which I tell you that Nils is on holidays, I spent multiple days hunting a kernel bug and that it was a slow week with nothing but clean up, bug fixes and documentation writing. For some reason it's still over 2000 words, so read it, I put a lot of effort into it!

(Oh and if you don't read it, the documentation is now open source and on GitHub, so maybe check that out? https://github.com/uberpixel/Documentation)

There is a new version of Rayne posted. It fixes stuff, potentially breaks new stuff (although at this moment I can neither confirm nor deny that) and cleans up stuff. It also makes other stuff faster.

tl;dr: Stuff changed around.

Potentially it is the last 0.5.x release. Maybe it isn't, depending on wether new stuff breaks. We should probably offer an RSS feed for this kind of stuff instead of announcing it in competitors forums (I mean, we also announce it in our forum, but that has a much smaller reach).

Funfact of the 0.5.7 release: It was developed in a branch called "dev-0.6" and pulled in a bit from a branch named "experimental". We can do version control, I swear!

Two things! Nah, make it three...

First of all, no weekly devblog post this week because: Quite frankly, the noteworthy stuff is currently in development, so it's only ready for next week. And we are lazy.

But! Not lazy enough to not finally make a video of our forest level. Here is a super awesome fly through, through the level:


And then: We started with the editor. For real this time. Here is how it looks like so far (much early, many wip, very unpolished):


We also promised that everything would be open source except of the engine core. Well, Downpour _IS_ open source under the MIT license on Github. Go check it out!

So Rayne is Pegi18?

I really like the picture of Lenna!
The Editor looks pretty much like Unity, but indeed a good start.

Eh, it's the default go to image for everything imaging related. Hasn't everyone see her by now?...


... This guy has! He even knows the correct spelling of her name!

And also... There are only so many ways to build a usable editor interface and Unity happens to have one of the better ones around. To give credit where credit is due though, the layout is actually inspired by Xcode: http://cl.widerwille.com/UK5s


By the way... No comment on the video? Nils worked pretty hard on implementing splines for the camera movement.
