JangaFX cuts price of EmberGen for indie users
JangaFX has cut the price of EmberGen, its popular real-time gaseous fluid simulation tool, for indie users – in its terms, anyone earning under $1 million a year.
Perpetual indie licences now cost $199.99, down $40; subscriptions cost $19.99/month, down $5/month.
JangaFX’s email to users announcing the price cut describes it as the result of a desire to make EmberGen “as accessible as possible to everyone”.
Major EmberGen 0.7.5 update now available as a test build
In other EmberGen news, version 0.7.5 of the software is now avaiable as a test build for registered users.
The long-awaited update introduces a new user interface and new renderer, plus support for animated meshes as particle emitters or colliders, a new curve editor, and a number of workflow improvements.
According to JangaFX, there is “still … quite a bit of work to do” before the release is production-ready, but existing users interested in trying it can request it via the EmberGen discord server.
