Multiplatform
The Shoot 'Em Up Kit is working well on our new multiplatform engine. The physics system is now integrated into the engine and all the sample projects and templates are working correctly. The new engine will allow significant performance and stability improvements on the PC; and will also pave the way for exporting games onto other devices and platforms.
Model Builder
Work is well underway on a new feature that will allow assets to be built from components. This makes it easy to create custom models in a range of styles. All of this is done from within the Entity Editor and so your new models are ready to be dropped in-game.
Discord Server
The Shoot 'Em Up Kit Discord server is a great place for questions, suggestions or to meet with other members of the community. You can join us here.
Many thanks,
