Massive, gargantuan, humungous, truly large update
2026-10-02Conquistador. What would I do without you. I present to you, dear steam gamer, a pretty big update. I have added a new lighting system, among other things, that may in fact melt your computing system - using the all new, ultra fast and super cool Vulkan rendering backend. I implore you to petition me if it does melt your computer, as I will consider adding a potato mode to the options menu if that is the case. New Lighting System • Propagation based lighting system. In other words, the darkness is now real. Brand New Options Menu • Built an entirely new options menu, It took way longer than it should have of course. • Organized settings into Video, Audio, Gameplay, and Controls tabs. • Added screen mode, adjustable frame caps, an optional CRT effect, and camera shake settings. • Added separate master, music, and effects volume controls (they actually save), plus mono audio.
