Overgrowth Alpha 68

Add comment!

March 2nd, 2010

Here is what is new in Overgrowth in the 68th weekly alpha. If you are confused what a weekly alpha is, or even what Overgrowth is, please read our fancy FAQ. Basically, we are developing a massive video game from the ground up -- we are able to do this completely independently by accepting preorders for the game before it's done!

Overgrowth

Here are a few highlights from the source repository:

  • Added terrain patch frustum culling
  • Re-enabled frustum culling for batched objects and decals
  • Lots of engine cleanup and refactoring
  • Added driver version and VRAM to hardware report
  • Matt improved Mac compile times with precompiled headers
  • Matt disabled Mac OpenGL error checking for increased speed
  • Streamlined shaders to be more efficient

Who is Matt? We will introduce him soon!
