I'm feeling too lazy today to write a proper progress report, so I'll just post a screenshot to show what I've been up to lately:  That's a completely new more detailed player character model (by an actual artist) and a new enemy type. |

Alpha version 0.18.0 is out! This release brings some major graphical improvements. The most visible change is the new much more detailed human character model. Human enemies have also been updated to use this new model and they have been re-textured too. Several dynamic objects (like barrels and eggs) now cast shadows, which makes them fit in much better. A competely new enemy type has been added. They are called "spiders" due to their similar looks, although they are nothing from this world.  Here's some fresh video footage from the game: And here's full list of changes since 0.17.0 alpha release: - Human character model were replaced with much better one (created by an actual artist).
- All human characters where re-textured.
- Added new enemy type called "spider" and a nest that spawns them.
- Added separate stand-crouch animation to make crouching look more natural.
- Added blob shadows to some dynamic objects like dragon eggs and barrels.
- Added bilinear filtering to sound map image sampling.
- Added prediction error filtering to smooth out jumps when client side prediction is wrong.
- Fixed anti-aliasing not working with glow filter enabled.
- Made player aim range a bit wider.
- Increased maximum client side prediction from 10 to 15 ticks (375ms).
- Implemented object orientation interpolation for visualization.
- Fixed a bug causing stronger glow effect horizontally than vertically.
- Always trace hits in shooter's local XY plane even when weapon is offset from it.
- Fixed flickering human shadows during jumping and crouching.
- Fixed bug causing invisible shadows getting updated.
- Prevented some objects from receiving shadows (for example lights and explosion fragments).
- Fixed newly created objects randomly sliding into position from outside of screen.
- Allow a bit longer fall without damage.
- Made editor pick closest element first when clicking on multiple overlapping elements.
- Added position triggered announcement voices.

A new beta version 0.23.0 is now ready and available for download. This release finally adds online high-scores and makes the game feature-complete.
