Leap Into The Future

Monsters Loot Swag Now With HDR And PBR

February has arrived ... and by the time you are reading this, it has also gone. But not before Monsters Loot Swag got a huge update on Steam, and has been ported to a completely new engine build.

This included finally retiring the old engine build and replacing it with the latest game engine build, complete with all of those 21st Century shiny things like an asset system, HDR lighting, Physical Based Rendering of reflections and so much more. The changlog itself ran to some 36 items.

In other game development news, I also ported my old "Aeronauticals" proof of concept demo to the latest engine version. You can download and play that here and watch me do just that below.

 February 2024 is a Leap Year! And soon to be leaping are what is in this pond! 🐸

However since this arrived there has not been much froggy activity due to the weather reverting to being bloody freezing for the last few weeks. Thankfully it looks set to become milder and much croaking was heard earlier.

So that was the month with a strange number of days, and all because two despots mangled the perfectly working 10 month calendar by inserting their egos into new months and totally throwing time out of order every 4 years.
