End of May Test

Some minor improvements have been made

Mobile Renderer

• The Mobile render method is being supported as an alternative to Forward+.
  • The game is split between two executables: Ventury and Ventury_Mobile.
    • Mobile is better suited to be ran on low-end hardware.
• Various visual effects were adjusted to account for the Mobile render method's strict limitations.

Pace Keeper

• The game can dynamically adjust the target frame-rate based on performance monitors.
  • Due to the implementation, it is eager to lower the frame-rate.
  • It is possible that the pace keeper can assist in extending battery life by reducing the frame-rate.
• The pace keeper can be turned off in the settings menu.

Game Launcher

• A companion game launcher is included. It is encouraged that users launch Ventury using it.
  • The launcher is provided by MrEliptik et al

Miscellaneous

• Minor HUD changes.
• Fix for delta-unsafe knockback impulses.
• Drop Shadows for Skeletons were optimized.

From glossydon:

Not much has changed since the last update. I apologize for the lack of a linux version this time around, as I've been busy with other things recently.

I'm happy with how the mobile renderer and other optimizations have come along, though. I'm hopeful that I can manage to reach the destination at the end of the long and stretchy road, while still navigating through and adjusting to adult life.
