Around two years ago, me and Shikishiji started Cavalcade Interactive to create stuff that will make people happy – games. I was a freelance web designer and he was a PHP developer, and in our city, there were virtually no one in the game development space so we had a long way to go learning all kinds of stuff. So after about a year and a half with over 5 web games and a couple of iOS games released, we looked back and saw a few salient points that made an impression in our foray into game development;

The terrain destruction system is undergoing some heavy optimization because it drops the framerate by 50% when it recalculates the terrain during an explosion. We are trying a ‘grid based recalculation by area’ method to restrict the part it recalculates. The come2play API is [...]
