    Untracked Version (1/15/2022)

    By haloman30,


    Pre-Alpha
    Notice

    All versions of the Blamite Game Engine from this point and prior, proper changelogs were not accurately tracked. As such, this changelog, as well as all others before, will likely be inaccurate and incomplete. Numerous overhauls and changes were made between this build and the most recent previous changelog (from 2018).
     
    + Added early versions Editing Kit tools: Guerilla, Foundry, Sapien, FontExtractor, Tool
    * Significant engine codebase overhauls
    * Engine configurations expanded from Debug and Release to: cache debug, cache test, cache release, tag debug, tag test
    * Rendering is now handled primarily through bgfx (though the earlier DX11 renderer is still usable via configuration changes)
    * Editing Kit tools are now handled using Qt5
    * Other changes too numerous to list
