Full Changelog: 0.8.0...0.9.0

0.8.0

You might wonder why we've skipped version 0.7.x. This has been due to tests on our automated release pipeline that have created some release versions with 0.6.x and 0.7.x tags. We wanted to make sure that these test versions remain as hidden as possible and thus have decided to continue with 0.8.0.

Full Changelog: 0.6.1...0.8.0

0.6.0 - "Trick or Treat!"

Surprise! After a quiet period of not releasing a new engine version since January 2022, we proudly present LITIENGINE 0.6.0. This is a release packed mostly with invisible infrastructure changes and refactorings, but also enhanced documentation, tests, and important bugfixes.

There had been some crucial problems in our build and deploy toolchain, which prevented us from releasing new versions for quite a while, but these problems have been resolved and now we are even releasing nightly snapshot builds for you to test out the latest changes!

You may have noticed the versioning of LITIENGINE has changed too.
Instead of e.g. v0.5.2-beta, we are now using plain semantic versions for stable releases (starting with this release 0.6.0) and a modified git describe variant (e.g. 0.5.2-166-gb2e597fe-SNAPSHOT/) for snapshot versions.

Since the last release, we have updated to a more recent Java version several times, and recently we have finally moved to the new LTS version Java 21. That means you can now use all the new cutting-edge Java features in your LITIENGINE games!

Of course, we want to thank all our contributors, sponsors, users, and community members for keeping LITIENGINE alive even when we maintainers get lazy. You are the heart of this project!

The LITIENGINE library is available through Maven Central:

"Java 17 Migration" Release v0.5.2-beta

Just in time for making your new year's resolution of creating amazing games with LITIENGINE, we proudly present our latest update, packed with 250 commits over the last ten months!

Let's talk about the elephant in the room: LITIENGINE is now fully running on Java 17! In the future, we plan to keep the library updated to the latest stable jdk versions for you to utilize all the juicy new features Java has to offer.

To make building ingame UI more pleasant, the Slider, TextFieldComponent, and SpeechBubble components have seen massive updates.

Bugfixes and UX improvements for utiLITI will ensure a more smooth experience when handling the editor.

Apart from that, a lot has changed in our build and deployment pipeline and the repository is now utilizing GitHub actions instead of Travis CI. This goes along with a completely revised directory structure and proper separation of submodules. The way we bundle native libraries has been adapted and the dependency on steamworks4j has been removed. Please also take note of our changed contribution guidelines: it is now required to comply with the Java code style conventions we provide in the repository (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Finally, a huge THANK YOU is in order: To all our tireless code contributors, to the community involved in discussing issues, to everyone providing help in our forum and on Discord, and lastly:
Thank you to our new Sponsors RajBet, Trust My Paper, CasinoHex Canada, and ej-technologies (in chronological order of sponsorships)!

What are you waiting for? Start the new year the right way: making games with LITIENGINE.

"No more Netcode" Release v0.5.1-beta

This release brings tons of bugfixes and quality-of-life improvements. Feature-wise, the highlight of this version is the addition of a Tweening framework that lets you interpolate values over time, e.g. to let your GuiComponents bounce or your Entities wiggle.
As the engine's networking code had been an unmaintained, untested, and even unsafe mess, we have decided to remove the networking package entirely.

Our Discord server has seen some upgrades and we gladly welcome our first community moderator, Conifer! In order to give back some of your love, we have introduced some special roles for our forum and the Discord server:

• @Supporter : Members that have supported us with donations.
• @Contributor : Members that have contributed to our open source code repositories
• @Early Bird : Members that have been part of our community since the Alpha days of LITIENGINE.

We try to assign these roles to the best of our knowledge, but if we forgot you - please don't hesitate to complain. :)

Apart from that, we've updated the sponsoring tiers in the LITIENGINE Open Collective, allowing you to support our work financially and with full transparency. We have also started a spreadshirt shop where you can buy all kinds of LITIENGINE related swag and promote the cause (feel free to suggest additional motives)!

As always, huge thanks to all contributors and fans! This is an exciting journey for us and we are grateful to share it with you.

"Farewell, Alpha!" Release v0.5.0-beta

Finally!

As of today, we end the four year-long LITIENGINE alpha, spanning a total of 17 feature-packed releases. Simultaneously, LITIENGINE hits its first beta release v0.5.0-beta, marking a magnificent milestone for us.

What once started as an overly ambitious hobby project of two naive brothers seeking to create their own video game, is now one of the most successful Java 2D game engines on the market - despite being in early access! Our hearts are filled with joy seeing how popular LITIENGINE has become and we want to thank you from the bottom of our heart.

To celebrate the prosperity of LITIENGINE and as a big thank you to our supporters, we have completely remade the LITIENGINE website from scratch. It is now a well-designed, streamlined experience that guides users to the most important points of interest more naturally. With everything designed to be maximally self-contained, we are also no longer hosting the documentation, JavaDocs, and Download page externally: The LITIENGINE website thus has become a purposeful and holistic hub for everything related to our favourite software.

We are convinced that LITIENGINE's user base and relevance will keep growing and there are some thrilling years ahead of us. If you're not already part of the LITIENGINE family, join our lovely community and explore the exciting features of our new website and LITIENGINE's first beta release.

"LDJAM 44" Release v0.4.17-alpha

This release comes with a ton of improvements for the utiLITI editor which have been implemented in preparation for LDJAM 44.

Fixes

• #249 Fixed an issue that caused the terminating callbacks to be executed after the system was already terminated
• 7ff4062 5e284be 83e7da3 Fixed rendering of StaticShadows
• 4cba2a4 Fixed an issue with the SpeechBubble implementation

Features / Improvements

• 91a81fb Improved the delay() of the loop tick by accounting for the delay error that is inevitably caused by the fact that Thread.sleep uses long instead of double values
• 012b75d Minor version numbers of Tiled map format releases are no longer considered when checking for version support because they are only used for bugfix releases and have no effect on the .tmx format.
• b1ca5de Implemented possibility to retrieve a layer by name and ID
• c7af38a Added methods for text and shape rendering with antialiasing

Changes

#243 TMX Overhaul, Part 2

• Tilesets that use individual images for each tile are now supported
• Tile types are now supported
• File custom properties are now supported, though only tentatively
• Light sources now use an enum for their type
• Various refinements for several features

Other changes

• 4fe0e81 Rename collisionboxHeightFactor and collisionboxWidthFactor MapObjectProperties to collisionboxHeight and collisionboxWidth. This might require you to adjust maps created with previous versions of the engine.
• 4fe0e81 Entities that have a duplicate or invalid ID now get a local map ID
• 21d2bbc Moved some time related methods from the GameLoop class to the GameTime class (use Game.time()...)

  • 91a81fb Game.loop().execute(...) has been renamed to Game.loop().perform(...) to be consistent with the EntityAction terminology
  • 91a81fb The input loop is no longer a GameLoop and instead "just" a plain UpdateLoop. -> There should only be one GameLoop (that provides enhanced functionality like TimedActions)
• 4a37838 Renamed the Map class to TmxMap to avoid collisions with java.util.Map
• d2cb9ba Cleaned up "render entity with layer" feature

utiLITI

  The buttons on the toolbar are not really required and can be accessed elsewhere in a more convenient way.

Other Changes

• Some huge internal code refactorings and improvements
• 4890d15 Reworked the "MOVE" edit-mode which can now be triggered by clicking the mouse button within the bound of a map object instead of having to press CTRL or manually activate it.
