SuperPowers Engine Release version 2

 

Superpowers is a HTML5 based 2D/3D game engine which just announced the release of version 2.    There wasn’t a massive shift from earlier releases, the simply changed their release numbering system, so don’t expect massive changes in this release.  I actually did a tutorial series on using Superpowers, but stopped development when the engine seemingly stopped receiving updates.  It’s nice to see that it hasn’t been abandoned.  In fact there was a release back in July that I missed completely.

 

This release is actually spread across the various components that make up Superpowers, so there are 5 different sets of release notes.
