Particles
Thanks for following us through another action-packed year of development. We think we've made some great progress on Xenko this year, and we hope you've made some cool stuff with it too.
Xenko 1.9.2β fixes an important issue with our normal maps. We have recently reviewed our normal map settings and shaders. Unfortunately, a lot of them cover cases that were previously missing or unclear, so automated conversion of the assets is not possible.

We released two really cool features, archetypes and prefabs, back in Xenko 1.6β. Open the post to see how these save our developers time.

Switching back and forth between your game development editor and your IDE for small changes starting to wear on you? Well, you can look forward to losing many of those unnecessary steps because Xenko is bringing you our new Script Editor feature - available soon in Xenko 1.9 Beta. Open the blog post for the full details!
In Xenko 1.9 Beta, you can create a navigation mesh powered by Recast and Detour with real-time feedback directly in the Xenko GameStudio! The navigation mesh is especially useful for RPGs or top-down strategy games, as you can use it to guide characters through complex scenes.
We’d like to announce some of our plans for the coming months, and also notify our users of some big changes that will be coming with release 1.9. Namely, we’ll be dropping support for Windows Store 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.
