Check out the new digs!

Nice!  We just rolled out a new site and community design focused on easier navigation, greater collaboration, and showcasing the awesome work being done by the SunBurn community. :)

This update was several months in the making, with a lot of time spent on the Featured Games and Clients sections.  We've always wanted to provide the community with space to showoff its work, but couldn't quite work it into the old site design.  So when we started redesigning the site the "Featured" sections were the first thing we tackled.

But that's not all - some of my favorite new features:

And a big thanks to Alex and Ross for giving up their Friday night to help roll-out this update!

Let us know what you think!

(ps: and more goodies coming soon!)

Really like the new overall design. It looks really great and it's nice to see some of my screenshots spread across! :P

What's up with the following (on the Sunburn -> Features page)

Scripting and Entities

Add code to scene-object events - New!

Write event code in C# - New!

Is it a sneak peak at the upcoming release?

Ah, yes. :) In our webdev environment we already created the next release's feature info and banners (so we can cut over to them during the launch).  Then rolled back to the current feature set until the launch, but apparently missed those bullet points.

But that's ok, I already spilled the beans (regarding that feature) on twitter. :)

The new design is very slick, while the game "scripts" are still written and complied in VC#, you can tie event handlers to any dynamic scene object / light and process custom game code in those events.

Sharing common game code, applying behaviors to objects / lights, and *combining* behaviors is amazingly simple. :)

I love the new website design! It follows my 3Cs rules: Clean, Clear, Clever ;)

Can't wait to get some more information about the next release :p

Thanks Philippe!

We'll post more info soon.  And I'm hoping I can recruit Alex to talk about some of the new features from an artist's perspective (my blogs are always tech-heavy). :)
