Is there Network yet?

Yes. That link will be added when we are ready to link something!


No. But if someone were to implement it, they should probably look into the RN::SceneNodeAttachment class to synchronize scene node states across the network

Do you guys already know when we can expect something like an open alpha/beta to play around with?

edit: also I'd like to know if features like collisions ( and maybe tesselation ) will be implemented in the future.

Open beta will still take several months. The big things that are still missing for that is terrain, an editor and documentation. At the moment we are working on the documentation which will probably take until the end of the month and while there was already lots of preparation for the editor it will still take a lot of time.

What do you mean by collisions?
In theory tesselation shaders are supported, but we did not yet get to testing them.

Oh, okay...
well, I guess I'll have to wait then

I just mean a simple collision system which could be used for player movement or bullet impacts.
(like acknex's c_move / _trace)

Well, collision handling is what physics engines are designed for, so naturally they do a great job at it.
Our bullet module has ray cast functionality (like c_trace) and a basic character controller, which tbh does a lot more than just c_move, but with the same result.

I See, thanks for the information

Sooo, remember this weekly update thing?
Well, it's been almost two weeks. So here is the Rayne weekly devblog. Have fun reading! And for our illiterate users: Have fun looking at the squiggly lines

Okay, alright, we got it. You ungrateful bunch aren't entertained by blog posts or documentation.
Well, Nils is literally throwing away his university degree right now just to make you happy, so you better be entertained already!

Have some tessellation. Because that's what modern engines can do.

Looks incredibly good.
Blog post is nice, too, I guess there'll be more hollah about more technical posts (not to say you shouldn't post about stuff like documentation and such, I find that enjoyable to read, too).
