Argus updated to v1.54
Argus has been updated to v1.54 today, the second upgrade this week.
The changes are about the new Lens Flares feature. The new update includes:
-Lens flares now have an alpha option, so now you can control their size AND intensity now.
-Changes to the Film Information window to fit the new feature.
Changes include:
-Improvements to half-rectangular dithering ("16-Bit").
-New triangular dithering ("16-Tri"). This dithers the full width of the sample twice, multiplied together like combining two dice rolls of a full-rectangular dither.
-Improvements to rounding accuracy when saving samples in 16-bit of any sort ("16-ND", "16-Bit", "16-Tri").
Full details of the update in the Readme.txt file.
The next SFXEngine release will be the Casino Sound Pack. A mix of card sounds, slot machine sounds, and things of that ilk.
Some Flatspace music news in the works. First, a sparkly new music pack for the first Flatspace game. This is the first new music pack for Flatspace since 2013. Some tracks, like the Opiad Variation and Superhighway, date from 2001 and have never been released anywhere.
