We are in the process of doing a major refactor of the interface. We are also creating a TicTacToe tutorial, which will give a basic intro into making a game with Sprite2d.

Our team is expanding quickly. We have added a new developer Andrew, who will be helping with widgets and text entry. We have also added Charlie as the artist for Astro. We can't wait to get his art in to the game. We have also added Samuel as a Foley artist for both games. He is also helping Jeffrey in designing the Sound interface which will be based on the ogg format.

Stay tuned for all new content.... read more
