I just tried V1.02. looks good. It might be better with some movement. Maybe there is some more in V1.00. Anyway, I really like the direction this is taking. I look forward to music visualizations. If you do that, I think it will generate a lot of interest. The only thing like that right now is Winamp with the Milkdrop visualizer. You could beat that hands down. So, in short, please continue your efforts and know that there is some interest. if it was on steam you would get a lot more exposure.

Thanks,

Aww thanks, I appreciate this =). You can move by the way, see the controls in the box below the fractals in the main menu.

Steam actually emailed me yesterday and said I could be on their store. I've just only had 18 people buy this so far (even though there's been almost 2000 views), so that was pretty discouraging and I have other projects that seem to generate more interest.

The difficulty I'm having is that most of my content is laggy in 3D (what you see in version 1.02) because they were optimized heavily for 2D. So it would take quite a bit of time to just get it to the point that it was at in Version 1, which I wasn't really that proud of anyway.

I did manage to tweak the menu fractal enough that it can run in 3D, and had already done quite a bit towards getting music visualization working.

So if I did decide to get this up on steam, there would only be 4-5 fractals, and they would be lower-res then they are already. And I just feel bad about giving such a poor product like that to people.

I have had a few ideas recently of changes I could make to the underlying rendering engine that might really speed up the fractals, and so because of this post I'll implement those tonight, and we can see from there =)

Turns out my ideas for optimization worked, you can see version 1.03 available now :)
