It's been a while since we've put out some dev notes. 657 days to be exact.....but who's counting? SimpleRockets 2 is coming together nicely, so I'm excited to start talking a bit more about its development.
One of the biggest challenges we've run into with SR2 has been the terrain generation. It's quite a step up from the simple, stationary 2D terrain from SimpleRockets 1. Now we have fully 3D planets with oceans, mountains, deserts, craters, etc. Also, now they rotate and have realistic lighting and atmospheric effects. It's taken a very long time to get things looking good and performing well. In fact, yesterday I was flying around this terrain at 60fps on my iPhone 7.
Here's what Smearth currently looks like in SR2:
Credit goes to Nathan, Philip, and Kevin for the awesome looking terrain. Next time I'll post more about what William and I have been up to.
you are counting
Well, I wish I could see Smearth in these images.
Are you going to update SP again, We would like some of the things that are being suggested on your website, such as:
Multiplayer
Bomb sites
And improved AI
*Droo
@AndrewGarrison So will SR2 replace SP?
So this is basically a kerbal space program for mobile devices in a nutshell
@AndrewGarrison do you have relative idea of when it may be coming out? I am willing to waste my hard earned money on a game to satisfy my boredom.
@AndrewGarrison can you create Simple Trains PLS
"Credit goes to Nathan, Philip, and Kevin for the awesome looking terrain. Next time I'll post more about what William and I have been up to." @AndrewGarrison so what are you and @HellFireKoder up to?
@kerothehero mine is 12th of January, let’s go for that one ;p
@kerothehero :D
We will try and get better about posting more regular status updates, but I'm not confident enough to put a number on what percentage complete anything is yet.
I feel like you just toying with me
Andrew
@AndrewGarrison How did you deal with such a large surface? Or is it always just scaled down when you’re not like 1km from the ground?
@AndrewGarrison
That means you don't know your progress?

@robloxweponco Yes
Will simplerockets2 have a community website where we can use our simpleplanes accounts if we want?
@Botfinder oh understood I'll do that I soon as I can
@Botfinder Oh I see, hopefully the developers will troubleshoot the issue. Because to me being a bata tester I have to test mods to
