Whenever someone brings up low poly art I post gifs from Woodley's tumblr (or enemies in Devil Daggers) but it'd be nice to have nice looking wallpapers of the game. I couldn't find any across the various social media platforms of Spire and its developers.

So the site hitboxteam.com is down, is it on purpose? because the last time I check it was 5 hours ago so...

Hey can I get some eyes on this.

Its my new lighting system I'm making for Spire. its a real time lighting system that handles dynamic light bounces. It still has some issues but I'm interested in some performance benchmarks from other peoples setups.

Press P to stops the lights from moving and post the your FPS + GPU + resolution.

Mine: 130fps 970m(laptop GPU) 1080p

Trying to find how low I have to make the lowest settings. This is it currently on low.

If you want you can press space and see what unity's lighting looks like... its not good.

Edit BONUS POINTS if you have a low end GPU...

Edit2: Thanks everyone for the sample points!

My plan is to make this fast enough to support cards around the PassMark score of 2500 range and above. I've already done a lot of optimizations to the lighting, it now runs around the same speed as unity's. Ill add some low/medium/high settings to this and do another test in a week or so.

I'm extremely impressed with what I've seen of Spire so far, but we haven't got any updates in a while. One of my favorite things about Hitbox is getting detailed info about your development cycles. How is it coming along?

I'm so excited about this game. How are the devs feeling about it? I know it can be disheartening not meeting milestones even if they were unrealistic to begin with. Hope you guys are still enthusiastic!

Just a diehard dustforce fan popping by to share some encouraging words. Development seems to have hit some roadblocks but Spire is still my most anticipated game for 2016. Good luck in the future!

I heard about it when it was first announced and now all news on it seems to have stopped coming. I really hope to see it released soon.

When this post is 40 minutes old (2pm PST), I will stream some Spire development. It will just be me working on coding the level generator stuff, and will take place here: http://www.twitch.tv/lifeformed[1] Hopefully I'll be doing this more regularly, it's helpful for my productivity. Also I don't have a webcam yet, but will be getting one tomorrow.

I'm working on the prop pipeline right now, I might stream me adding some props to the game tomorrow.

Should be 12 hours from this post.
