Purely voluntary. I figure it keeps the door open in case I have opportunity to work with them in future. You are correct, they can't really compel me.

About the false positives: is there any difference between 32b and 64b releases?

Not that I have noticed, no.

(I am sure Fred's as annoyed by the industry-wide AV situation as I am - I want to make clear that I don't blame him a bit, this isn't in my opinion his fault at all.)

Indeed it looks like the biggest game ever created with PB. Impressive!

Thanks!

Would be very cool to know a bit more about the technical. I suppose you created all your libraries? (that is, apart from the ones PB provides obviously)

Sure, I'm glad to talk shop about it.

Regarding libraries ...

Do you have a demo available?

Thanks!

Re: demo - I did not write one. Steam has got a for-any-reason automatic refund policy, so long as you're under 2 hours of playtime and 2 weeks of ownership, and I've found that a lot of people use that for evaluation.

neuronic

GOG requests that I not share that, or I would.

Some other developers, of "Krum - Edge of Darkness", "The Hungry Mouse", "Gnomes vs Fairies: Greckel's Quest", and "Jetpack" for instance, have disregarded that request.

Looks very good.
How did you created the levels? Used your own editor?

Thanks, everyone!

I never really had a level editor in this project.

The planet maps are procedurally generated. I wrote a program that makes the terrain and builds a series of mesh tiles of it at different LOD levels. It ...

Wow, thanks for the kind words. To answer the questions that have come up:

Yes, this was done using the Ogre3D engine that is included in PureBasic. I wrote a few shaders in CG for it, for things like the video static effect.

GOG was actually my first choice. I approached them first. They declined ...

Hi again, everybody.

I have finished what I think might possibly be the most ambitious game written in Purebasic so far.

It took me about five years as a one man project. (I asked a few questions here, back when I started on it, in 2013.)

It is 107,990 lines of Purebasic 5.22 LTS code (not ...

Thank you! That's certainly a workable workaround.

I would like to draw on a RenderTexture. (For example, putting a red "Recording" icon onto the texture of a security camera screen.)

If I do something like,
CreateTexture(1,256,256)
StartDrawing(TextureOutput(1))
Box(10,10,20,20,RGB(255,0,0))
StopDrawing()
I get a texture with a small red ...
