Happy New Year (2020)!
Hello All,
I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
The sixth anniversary of the game being released on Steam was earlier in December. And, while I was hoping to have something to release this year, it didn't end up working out. The Windows 10 compatibility issue that came up a few months back not only impacted It's A Wipe!, which is built on an older version of the Torque game engine, but also the newer version of that engine as well. With It's A Wipe! I was able to revert back to the DirectX graphics instead of OpenGL to get around the issue, but the newer engine had DirectX completely pulled out of it.
Long story short, the good news is that someone figured out how to get around the Windows 10 graphics issue with the newer engine. So, instead of having to abandon the work I had done on a new game and switch over to a completely new engine, I can pick up where I left off. So, if I can focus up hopefully I'll get a new game out by the end of 2020 :D
Anyhow, thank you for picking up It's A Wipe and I hope that you have a great new year!
