Wauz 🦇It is time to reveal the winners of the Architecture art contest! The third, second, and first places all go to... Wauzmons. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who participated!
#ElysianEclipse 0.6.0 Comparison:
Version 0.6.0 is a huge step forward! While it doesn't contain any new features, it runs on the new render pipeline and brings lots of graphical and technical improvements. The file size has been reduced by 500 MB and it runs about 15% faster in a lot of places.
Let's gooo! The render pipeline migration is pretty much done and all of the stages are playable again! I even improved some mechanics like the creation viewer (see screenshot) and the decal system.
Architecture Art Contest
It is time for the fifth #ElysianEclipse #ArtContest! Our creatures are becoming more and more civilized and deserve a proper place to live. Now you can help to design a home for them, with the chance of your ideas getting added to the game! #ElysianEclipseContest 🧵
The render pipeline migration is progressing. The creature editor is already fully functional again. Some of the colors are different, but it is still looking decent. Has been pretty frustrating so far.
#ElysianEclipse V 0.5.5 is here!
This version is available to test for aquatic tier or higher supporters and will become completely free once the next version drops.

The time has come. Usually the big updates like 0.4.0 or 0.5.0 each contained the foundation of a new stage. 0.6.0 is going to be something way less fun though. Unity has finally deprecated the render pipeline used by #ElysianEclipse, which means that we have to switch to the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) to continue receiving updates.
The tropical valley, will be the first biome to receive a rework. It will be much bigger and sandier. The mountains are higher and have more natural shapes with visible erosion. Still work in progress. Vegetation is disabled at the moment.
I'm working on a new terrain generation prototype for a lot of different creature stage biomes! V 0.5.5 will include at least one reworked and one new biome. New plant editor updates have been pushed back a bit in favor of this.

Кто-то ещё помнит #ElysianEclipse? Это игра в раннем доступе, вдохновлённая демонстрацией идей для #Spore на GDC 2005, которые так и не попали в финальную игру, но зато теперь есть в Elysian Eclipse.
