Title: October 9, 2000 Post by: Nao on October 09, 2000, 00:00:00 Oops, forgot to keep you updated last week... Sorry. About the bump mapping stuff, I've finally settled for the emboss effect, with a slightly optimized routine. There's something like 80 fps on screen now, in 1024x768x16. I think I like the cube mapping better, but the emboss bump-mapping has its advantages, especially on contrasted tilesets and at maximum zoom. Apart from that, I've been busy as always. I've sent a first beta version to my beta-tester, who found some bugs (which I hopefully managed to fix). I'll definitely be able to release a new version this month, don't worry about that. As for when, err... I still don't know. Could be in two weeks. Could be in two days. You never know... ;-)
