Support / version control & atlases...

« on: November 14, 2013, 07:59:42 am »

I have been using GIT (bitbucket) as a version control system. Previously I have stored the atlas images to git as well, but I was wondering if this is actually necessary or can 2dToolkit recreate the atlases automatically as needed ?

The reason is that when adding 4x textures to my game the atlases (64MB each) have grown very large, and my git repo is growing fast (currently about 780 MB). Lot of the space is taken up by the atlases.

Can the atlases be safely removed and can we expect 2dtoolkit to be able to recreate them as needed ?

Hey all!
 
My indie game Police Patrol Game has finally been released. The game is available in the Appstore.

For me it would not have been possible to make the game without 2dtoolkit. Big thanks to Unikron Software for making this amazing framework.
 
The game should not be taken too seriously and is not insanely deep with content (yet), but it is out there.
