Alright, so after a couple weeks or wrestling around with code and concepts, I finaly have a workable occlusion system working!!  <(^.^<)  You may be confused, as there seemed to be a working one already, but it failed some other very basic tests when i put it under strain.  So now that i have a working occlusion system, I am working on sorting and organizing the thousands of lines of code that make this work.  Its quite a task, and I plan on doing some cleaning while i am at it, as well as adding some comments here and there.  After finishing in the variable object system, i will upload a new version to play with, and then start tackling weapons.  I have a working rayCast() method, so I am so far confident.

Oh oops haha, forot to explain that XD.  It's where when an object, like an enemy, goes behind a wall, the wall looks like it's in front of the enemy, and you can't see all o the object because some of it is being covered by the wall.

Yeah, although i don't think there will be any ghosts in Castle Storm, I think more robots and stuff, easier to model XD

Speaking of modeling, I just wrote a script that converts Blender OBJ files into the format that my Object3D class uses, so now making 3D objects will be much much easier!  Before i had to type in every single vertex and connection by hand O.O and thats partially the reason that my models are so low detail, because it takes a looong time :P

For a while there I had you shooting Suzanns XD (the blender monkey ;D) Unfortunately it does not support Color yet, I am working on it though.

Lol :p
well I can't wait to play this! Especially with blender stuff! If you want I could design something for you this weekend like an enemy or something. Btw, does it support smooth serfaces yet? Or no?

It does not support smooth surfaces, nor will it ever, i'm sad to say :( Unfortunately Java just isn't fast enough (or I'm not knowledgeable enough :P) to do the proper shading.

As for enemies, it would be awesome if you could model some enemies!  I myself am horrible with modeling, so it would be great to get some help with that :) Just keep in mind that enemies will be machine based, and try to keep the polygon level pretty low, like from about 50 to 100 faces.  I will have to test out my engine a bit more though before i can decide on how many polygons it will be able to support.  I haven't done any optimising yet so i'm sure there is some hidden speed in there somewhere ;D

nice does it means  some forms of textures might be supported eventually?
* DJ Omnimaga also wonders when next version will be avaliable to test

Ah ok :/
I'll need some ideas on what to do though.
I'm ok at modeling, but I can only do the more basic stuff, so tat should be good for machine based stuff.

Textures will not ever be supported unless I find some sort of unknow exploit or pixel plotting code that I was unaware of.  Anything further than plain polygons unfortunately means i have to plot pixel by pixel, which is just too slow for Java.  The most I think i will ever be able to do is simple things like Tile floors, since that is simple vector textures.

And the new version will be released as soon as I get the multi-Object system all sorted out so you can shoot your gun ^^

Hmmmm lets see...  I know for sure I want to bring back the floating orbish robots that shoot lazers at you.  Perhaps also robots with kind of treads or something?  Hmm i'll have to do some brainstorming.
