Hi everyone,
I've just put out an extremely important updated version of HM4.
First the annoying flashing line is gone. The technical explanation of what caused it is I refactored my atlas creation code and accidentally introduced a bug. The fix was to add a small offset to the generated s,t texture coordinate values to make sure the texture stays within the right area.
The other important change is a huge performance improvement. The display of the blocks is now buffered, providing close to a hundred times performance improvement. The game runs silky smooth in levels now, and there is enough performance left to do much much more with the levels.
I also noticed a crazy bug. All damage is true damage: armor and magic resist don't actually do anything. Fixing this is easy, but I don't have the time to rebalance the game right now. That will have to be done at a later time.
That is all for now. Expect some small upgrades out in the future.
Thanks for reading,
Matthew
