Hello Hacker News, I wondered why my traffic went all bonkers today. To answer some of your questions: Yes, it is difficult to keep up with modern game tech, but I have lots of friends in the AAA industry who let me know what's going on at the bleeding edge, and I pick my battles. No, you couldn't make a game like Miranda with any off-the-shelf game tech I have seen. Game engines usually only allow one avatar per player, Miranda can have hundreds, theoretically thousands. Miranda is also seamless and single-sharded. The renderer does have soft shadows, but you're right they don't always show up really well. I'll take a look at that. The next update is coming pretty soon with a whole lot of gameplay additions, I just started the playtesting and debugging phase today. Thanks for visiting.
