It's been a few months since the release of version 0.9, and we have since been busy fixing bugs, improving performance and doing other minor tweaks here and there. It's taken longer than we would have liked, but better late than never, the release candidate version 0.9.1 is now available!
We have improved the audio handling significantly and for the first time are using scripting in our overworld and tutorial, which removes a lot of hard-coded C++ code. Scripting is based on AngelScript and was the result of last year's Google Summer of Code work. We expect to use and enhance scripting steadily to make our tracks more dynamic.
Samuncle was also busy improving out tracks. Our oldest and most classical track "Oliver's Math Class" got a great makeover:
Subsea and Fort Magma have also been improved. Subsea actually includes part of a track which was included in our first donation package - we are well on the way to completely replace Subsea in the near future.
We are also working on brand new high quality tracks. They aren't fully ready, but we can show you these screenshots. More information about them will be given in the coming days.

Excellent news! Thank you to the STK team for the hard work. It's only a minor version update but some good looking track updates and code improvements!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a rough timeline for RC to official release, or basically it's ready when it's ready because it is an open source project after all? No worries either way. :)
