This is my first blog and I thought I’d make it a good one. We’ve been working on some under-wraps projects here at Synapse Gaming for some time and Gamefest is the perfect time to announce one to the community. Instead of saying any more, I’ll just show you a screenshot:

This is the new editor we are rolling out in a few weeks. We’ve been working on this for a while and it is just about ready for the community.

The current editor’s usability has room for improvement and it isn’t exactly pretty. We designed this new one from the ground up to be easier to use with minimal screen usage. As you can see, we have all of the controls readily available: no more painful tab navigation. The texture browser and treeview selection are also dockable roll out panels that can collapse out of the way when not in use, maximizing your visible game window.

We are excited to get this into the community’s hands and it should be packaged up with a SunBurn release soon. Also, Raphael was the first community member to try out the new editor at Gamefest and he gave us tons of great feedback. Expect the new editor to be a great improvement over the current one; thanks Raphael!
