As we get near the end of 2023, I want to simply thank everyone who supports Castle Game Engine<\/i> in whatever way — on Patreon<\/a>, by making games, by code contributions, by feedback, or just by simply being here and looking what we’re doing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The end of this year was a bit busy for me, admittedly, and I didn’t achieve yet<\/i> some of our big goals I hoped for 2023 (like 7.0<\/em> release, or even 7.0-alpha3<\/em>, or Delphi\/Linux finish, or review of some very important PRs<\/a> like Steam, new navigation components, Tiled improvements). But I hope to get there, there’s still one more week! \ud83d\ude42 And we did a lot already<\/a>, making the engine both more functional and also easier to use in many departments. See all things we added for 7.0-alpha3<\/a>. We also have lots of new up-to-date training material, starting from “Bad way to play chess” 2 tutorial articles<\/a>, though many manual updates<\/a>, Pascal learning materials<\/a> and finally slides and examples from all conferences I attended in 2023<\/a>. I hope you enjoy this steady progress.<\/p>\n
