This LD my engine now has all SORTS of new features and enhancements, and I have just launched a kickstarter campaign to try to get some funding to take it even further now that it’s gotten to the point where it’s more than usable for 2d games, you can check that out here<\/p>\n
Kickstarter Campaign<\/a><\/p>\n
Short version of the most notable engine changes<\/p>\n
- \n
- moved from GL2 and GLES11 to GL3.3 and GLES2<\/li>\n
- VASTLY improved performance on android, mostly due to the GLES2 migration, though the pipeline itself has been cleaned up and the old batch rendering system completley re-written with a far more efficient one.<\/li>\n
- huge improvements to the ttf rendering system, it’s faster and now also supports “tabstops” on the screen to make lining up text on non-monospaced fonts very easy<\/li>\n
- internal message pump and state manager<\/li>\n
- interactive debug console<\/li>\n
- built in file and compression handling, path decoding, and configuration objects to manage saving game data and settings<\/li>\n
- simple highscore manager object to retrieve and post highscores from a server<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n

So far I’ve ported two of my android games on the market over to this new engine version<\/p>\n

Jewel – my first game for android<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>
Tiny Poker – Was the engine test for the new revision of aether, worked well so made it a full game<\/p><\/div>\n
