First, apologies for the flurry of updates this past spring! Between Vulkan issues, audio crashes, Deck audio dropouts, etc. it seemed like the issues were never ending. However, thanks to the perseverance of a few community members and the amazing folks at the FNA and SDL projects, I think we've finally gotten everything cleared up. So this update is actually back to some fun stuff! I've added a

This is a quick update with the latest SDL3 and FNA libraries. You will also notice a new pop-up when you launch the game on Windows. The long and short of it is that in version 1.094, the game was updated to FNA 25.05, which in turn was upgrading from SDL 2.0 to 3.0. One of the major changes was that Vulkan (the successor to OpenGL) became the new default renderer on both Windows and Linux.Unfort

Chasm has gone 64-bit! Well, truth be told, the Mac and Linux builds have long been 64-bit, while the Windows version remained 32. However, Steam has recently announced that they are phasing out 32-bit Windows support, and after feeling the memory limitations of 32-bit in my development environment, I decided it's finally time to embrace the future as well and go fully 64-bit.Thanks to the moderni

This is a quick update with latest SDL3 and FNA libraries.1.098------------------- CRT effect tweaks- updated game controller database- updated to FNA 25.11

This update contains the latest FNA and SDL3 libraries, as well as a fix for a weird rounding bug I encountered while working on WOLFHOUND. The per-pixel movement of the player uses 3 operations to determine the absolute pixel position each frame, but for some reason (possibly due to CPU optimizations) if all are done as a single line of code, an incorrect result is sometimes returned. Hopefully t

After a few boring releases with framework and compatibility updates, I'm happy to finally share something a bit more exciting! One of the effects I've always wanted was a handheld LCD style, and after checking out a bunch of different options, I ultimately decided to port Authentic GBC by fishku. Handheld effects have a similar problem to CRT effects where the grid lines decrease the overall brig

This is a quick update with the latest libraries to hopefully fix a few compatibility issues introduced with last month's big SDL3 update. 1.095 ------------------ - updated game controller database - updated to FNA 25.06

It's a never ending battle keeping PC games running comfortably on the latest hardware, but thankfully, SDL exists and makes it very easy to target a large amount of input, sound, and graphics hardware on all major platforms. In this vein, SDL 3.0 has recently been released, and now Chasm is taking the step up to it! The biggest change by far in SDL 3.0 is the new graphics backend called SDL GPU.
