The colors and the scheme used by the editor was hard coded since the beginning leading to an inflexibility in design.
That's history now!
Using the new configuration dialog it is possible to tweak the colors used by the UI to render buttons, edit boxes and almost any other widget. Use it to create the look you like!
Features missing are theme exporting and reset to defaults.
If your changes made the editor unusable (You selected all ...

To demo the Android version of the engine I decided to port the YoFrankie demo to Android.
There are new ways to control the character which work well with touch devices so you can play around with it. This app was tested in the emulator and worked fine there. Please leave a comment on how well it works on your device.
Simply install the APK which you can download here and start playing around with it.

Particle systems can be used to create a plathora of effects ranging from simple smoke over rain and snow to explosions.
Now you can do that and much more with Neo and the new particle system behavior. Just look in the "Add->Add Behavior" menu in the most recent build of Neo and you will find an entry "ParticleSystem". Add this behavior to any entity you like and experience the great flexibility delivered by the available variables. Feel free to play...
I made a small demo app to test the Android port. It is not a fully featured test and is only intended to test if the port can run on your hardware at all.
You can download the app here: AndroidDemo.apk
Have fun with it!
Maratis has had iOS capabilities for quite a long time now but never got onto an Android device. That is the reason I decided to create a broader publishing experience with Neo.
Introducing: Neo on Android
How was it done?
Since Neo uses SDL2 as the core for input and OpenGL/GLES context creation no major coding was required. The only part that had to be modified was the player code to handle certain Android quirks. Porting for the most part included

One of the most interpreted scenes in computing history is without doubt the Sponza scene from Crytek. Here you can see my take on it:
Those pictures are taken from the current development version of the Neo player and SDK. Everything you see on the screenshots is rendered in realtime. No prebaked lighting or SSAO.
The most prominent features you can see here are:
Realtime shadow mapping and soft shadows

It is compatible with the official Maratis3D editor in the sense that you can use and edit existing levels and projects without needing to change or convert them. The package also includes an modified player which makes i
