Why can you seamlessly transition from your ship, fly with your jetpack and land on a space station? Because it's cool! :D We aim to make the game as fluent as possible and give freedom to the players to traverse how they like.

Gradients are so powerful in PixelBasher! #gamedev #pixelart 🔥 Probably going make a shader effect that allows applying gradients to individual objects; just like the drop shadow. I think that will be most convenient ✨

Did you know the first version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition was made and demoed in less than three months? The guy working on it (Aron) started his first day at GDC 2011 in March and it was shown at E3. He ported the java code to c++ and made it run on mobile. Pretty cool eh??
