Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine V2023.0
The "Scorpion Engine" developed by Erik 'earok' Hogan allows you to develop games. The engine itself is closed source, all demos and example games are open source. The editor runs under Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, levels created by using the editor Tiled eingesetzt. For importing and creating sounds, music and animations the Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used.
A few moments ago he has relesaed version 2023.0 (YouTube video). Changes:
- Major performance optimisations make this by far the fastest release of the Scorpion Engine to date.
- New features like "maskless blit" and draw clipping, and the new "Big Ship" demo shows how these can be used to render massive actors with relatively minimal performance overhead.
- New "line of sight" demo shows how an enemy can be made to chase the player only if there's no walls between them.
- Filters in the editor allow you to quickly search through long lists of actors, animation, code and blocks.
- Powerful new randomizer based on the XORSHIFT* algorithm.
- Improvement for the "foreach" command, actors can be filtered by more than just the type of actor.
- Channels can now be reserved specifically for music or SFX.
- Various other fixes and improvements.
You can support the developer on his Patreon website. (dr)
