New For Spring [Update]

Plumeria Smart Creator is now on version 4.4.1 . The new update fixes several linking bugs that were not fixed in 4.4.0. Since it is spring I thought I should share my experience with some new accessories I bought for my computer (Note that I am not being paid in any way). As one person put it I was using the smallest keyboard ever. After searching on staples.com I found a company that makes really nice ones for half the price. The company is called Matias (https://www.matias.ca/products/) they offer wired, bluetooth, backlit, keyboards for PC and Mac. Some of the keyboards come with extra USB A ports but I highly recommend not using them. The reason is the ports are too small and it takes a lot of force to pry out anything attached to them. The one nice thing is that the keyboards come with a USB C converter so if you have a newer computer it should plug right in too. 

[Update] I have noticed that my Matias keyboard does not register one the keys if I press the spacebar, left arrow, and up arrow keys. Because of this I only recommend buying Macally keyboards on Amazon. Macally has been around since the first iMacs and they get better reviews than the Matias Keyboards on Amazon. Also I noticed that there are a lot of other complaints people have about the keyboards that was not aware of.

PlumeriaSC 4.3

Hopefully, by now you have played the Orange Grove Game. The game would not have been possible without the new features in PlumeriaSC 4.3. Some of the new features include 2D noise, better physics, and a global camera. Also on the Solar Fusion Software front page is a video that shows how noise is used with the graphics shapes and a behind the scenes look at how the Orange Grove Game was put together.

PlumeriaSC 4.1

Plumeria Smart Creator 4.1 is done! So what's new? The graphics are 20% faster, the Physics Engine has better collision repsonse, and the Motion Engine works better when imported. Also PlumeriaSC has over a dozen comprehensive video lessons included with purchase. My favorite feature is being able to open PlumeriaSC files by dragging and dropping them directly onto the browser. More minor updates are coming and a game sequel that I think is one of the best games I have ever made. By the way if you watch the PlumeriaSC 4.1 video you can find a 50% code for the purchase of Plumeria Smart Creator 4.
