New venture
It's been a while, I hope you forgive me for mentioning my new venture here. I'm trying to get a new game green-lit for publication. It is a Pyramid Building Simulator. If you can spare a few minutes, check out Imhotep, Pyramid Builder , your vote can help get this game to market

New levels! (v1.16)
I've just uploaded windows/linux/mac builds v1.16 that will bring two new levels to the game! New level 'flatpack.' New level 'vault.' Fixed the loud sound at first start of a level. Fixed a small memory leak. Improved the behaviour of dirt particles in a dozer-bucket / excavator

New level 'flatpack.'
New level 'vault.'
Fixed the loud sound at first start of a level.
Fixed a small memory leak.
Improved the behaviour of dirt particles in a dozer-bucket / excavator- bucket: they are less bouncy, and will stay in the bucket much better when driving.
Tuned dirt versus dirt collisions.
Enjoy!

New builds (v1.12) with keyboard config tool.

Yesterday, the Mac build has been updated. I recompiled it without the use of AVX/SSE4 instructions. This will make it compatible with older macs. If your game crashed upon launch, this was the cause. Soon, possibly today, I hope to update all builds (mac, linux, windows) to incl
