Flatspace IIk News

The new Flatspace IIk v1.03 beta is now available to test. Like v1.02, this is largely a game engine upgrade rather than anything that affects gameplay.

You'll also notice a new font, which is slightly smaller and higher resolution. The old font always looked a little too large and closely spaced compared to Classic Flatspace. The game perspective has been corrected too.

Graphics refresh rate has been limited to double the monitor refresh rate.

If everything works, the new update will go live in a few days.

I'm happy to announce a new Flatspace IIk update. This is mostly an engine upgrade, but should fix a lot of problems with system stability and loading times. Better controller support has been added too. Here is a full list of changes:

-New texture format.
-Much faster loading and Alt-Tab response, and better system compatibility.
-Better controller support, just about every Windows compatible controller should work. New Default Joy controls are designed to suit an XBox 360 controller.
-Delete Save Games option added to Options Menu.
-Fix to Next/Prev Target controls on Control Options (these didn't respond to any Default settings).
-Fix to text placement when applying video changes to switch between 4:3 and 16:4 modes.

No gameplay changes were made.

Flatspace IIk v1.02 in progress. A few small changes, not so much to the gameplay but to add more functionality:

-Better controller support. The Default Joy settings will default to a raft of controls on a XBox 360 controller.
-Much better loading times and Alt-Tab response.
-The ability to delete saved games.
-A few small bug fixes.

Should be ready by the end of the month.
