Leadwerks 3.3 Released

Leadwerks 3.3 is now available. This update adds usability improvements and a few new features.

 

Two new entity classes that extend the model class are present. Sprites are a quad that can face the camera, a specific direction, or can rotate around one axis. These are useful for lighting effects and the axis rotation is great for making laser beams or tracer rounds.

 

The Lensflare class extends the sprite class and adds a simple glow effect for lighting.

 

The editor now support shift-drag to select in the main window viewports.

 

On Windows, the main window now uses resizable splitters so you can adjust the size of the side panel and program log, or click the separator to show/hide them. You can also right-click on a file or folder in the Asset Browser and select the Properties menu item to bring up the Windows file properties dialog.

 

The Leadwerks Workshop, our system for publishing user-made game assets, has been streamlined to make the process of installing and removing items easier.

 

Encryption has been added for your published games to protect your game files from tampering. This works with both Lua and C++ games.

 

You can pick up Leadwerks 3 at a discount during the Steam Exploration Sale.

I noticed that you have released 3.3 to Steam.

 

I originally purchased the full 3.1 version directly from your website as I wanted to be able to use C++ or Lua scripting in my game development.

 

The version you offer on steam I believe is the indie version and only allows LUA scripting.

 

Are there any plans to offer the full professional version.

 

Kind Regards

Vehicles are fantastic! So happy, finally get to work on the game I originally intended to use Leadwerks for, so my current game will have to wait. :D

Will 3.3 ever get a non-steam release?

^ you should give these guys a deal on some steam keys who have non-steam versions from years back since the automatic updates and workshop are fantastic. I think everyone should get the steam release.

I have a steam copy and a none steam copy. I like using the none steam version because of reasons.
