We'll have a lot more to share soon, but believe me, this is actually very exciting! Each of the 7 rectangles is a separate GameView, all in the same app! To anyone who ever wanted to add a game map or separate controls or add whatever independent widget they wanted to in a Platino game, this was never possible to do in version 3.

We've got it in Platino 4, and each one is totally independent and has minimal effect on the performance of the other GameViews on screen! Each can have its own FPS setting, and can be partially transparent on top of another GameView! Perfect for a minimap, for instance. We're very excited to finally have this feature in our next (fully 3D, by the way) version of Platino! Stay tuned for more!

Lots more streaming to come, and some Platino 4 info and demos as well!

Going to play mostly Ultima and other retro games, but feel free to request my next game on Twitter!

This pseudo 3d 360 degree panorama was done in the Platino SDK using sprite sheet techniques and some very sneaky math ;) I'm very happy with how it turned out.
