    4 Years, 4 Months later, we're still moving on btw, just an update, we reached Alpha in october, and we will reach beta... well I was hopping for end of december but it might be more be end of January (very optimistic) or February/March (might be more realistic) depending on the time it will take to finish the last tasks.

    Of course, when "Beta" will be reached officially, We will start to share links, videos and more.
    Until then, we'll patiently continue to more forward.

    8 months already since the last message :).

    Still working every sunday on the project,
    Beta has been reached around End of March, but instead of officially make some Beta install and start to talk about it, we worked on feaatures and improvements... so we'll reach a new Beta very soon, that will be really close to Gold actually for we're estimate the amount of work still left to 8 Sundays now .

    1st teaser is ready, and we just need to decide when we will unveiled it all, but it will be very soon, probably before the end of September... with a PC/Mac/Linux release in december ?? let's hope so :)

    so we hope that more news with this time, the 1st screenshots and teaser will be shown here really soon !

    Hi krousty_bat, interested to know what the technical challenges you're facing with the framerate in Little Cells.
  • edited November 2014
    iarwain will answer better than myself at this specific question
    It's because we're using way too much layer of transparency if i'm not wrong.
    So the solution is to remove some of them, and trying to guess too without a Profiler what is ours Bottlenecks in terms of Framrates (iarwain should install an iOS version to maybe give us an idea, even if hardware and OS's are different) ).

    I know too that iarwain is optimizing ORX Graphics drivers too (so Everyone will gain from this :), but same think, I will let him answer this more precisely ! :).
  • edited November 2014
    Yeah sounds like an alpha issue then. I came up against the same thing myself.

    Well I better go get myself the windows version before the sale ends. :)

    The other thing I forgot to mention was if the Android build was done with the native or non-native version.

    Now that the non-native version has been re-instated, it might provide a performance increase?
  • edited December 2014
    It's running on the native version, I've never tested the non-native one to be honest, so I don't know how much worse it'd have been. :)
    I need to use Qualcomm's GPU profiler to find the hotspots, hopefully in the coming days.
  • edited December 2014
    there isn't much performance difference between native and non-native since all the plugins (Display, Sound, etc) are commons to both versions.

    The only difference is in the input latency.

    On native version, inputs events coming from the Android Framework are queued in a pipe, and then consumed by orx, so the min latency should be about one frame (13ms)

    On non-native, inputs events are first queued in a pipe (handled by the Framework), then the Java code consume it to send it back in another pipe consumed by orx. So there is about 2 frames of latency.

    There is also a difference in what you can do with Android Framework.

    On non-native, the OrxActivity extends FragmentActivity, so you can use support Fragment (ie: to show popups)

    On native, you need to use (or extends) NativeActivity which itself extends the framework Activity class.
    That means, if you want to use Fragment (framework Fragment, not support Fragment), you need to raise the min API level to 13 (Android 3.0) instead of API level 9 (Android 2.3)
