New Game Engine Build, HDR, PBR and More!

Behold the fancy HDR shader effects! Marvel at the Physcially Based Rendering of shiny surfaces!

Monsters Loot Swag has been updated to a new engine version, with a new fangled asset system, fancy HDR and PBR shaders, and more *stuff* - dragging it kicking and screaming into the 21st Century!

The previous version of the game has been retired, and so has the demo which is now out of date.

Amongst this change, there has also been a whole sale raft of fixes and improvements.
