A lot of progress has been made on the engine since the last update, and the website has also been running smooth. Anybody who was experiencing CAPTCHA sign-up issues will be happy to hear that they are resolved, and the sign-up form is fixed.

FrostByte News

The FrostByte engine’s core features are shaping up nicely, and a few new features have been implemented. Most of the physics and player handling systems have been completely cleaned up and almost all physics related bugs have been taken care of. Also, there is a menu system in progress and a completely re-designed map loading routine being developed.

On top of that, I am advancing my map creation skills and a new version of the beta map is complete.

The video is subject to change, but probably not until the polishing stage. Please give feedback and any comments you have.
