Hey everyone,
A few announcements that are worthwhile:
- The Platinum Team is proud to announce that Amd42 (Derpking) will officially be part of The Platinum Team with contributions to PlatinumQuest as another programmer. We look forward to working with him on PlatinumQuest!
- In case you haven't seen it yet, we have added shaders to Marble Blast Platinum for a future update in preparation for PlatinumQuest! A common question we have received is if the shaders are optional. The shaders will be optional, and will require a graphics card with OpenGL 2.1 or higher (Gforce 6000 series, Radeon 2000 series, Intel HD Graphics) or better with a minimum of 256MB of dedicated video ram. They will work on Windows XP+ and Mac OS 10.6+. Direct3D (Part of DirectX) is not supported in marble blast platinum or PlatinumQuest, so there will be no Direct3D shaders.
- If your card is too old, or you decide not to use the shaders, you can use the original Marble Blast rendering engine. However, we strongly recommend to make use of the shaders, because there is Graphics Hardware Caching enabled for the geometry which makes the rendering actually faster than the fixed function pipeline. We will most likely provide quality options for the shaders, so that even lower-power cards can still take advantage of the caching.
Keep on rolling, summer's around the corner!

Hey all,
The Platinum Team is happy to announce that Buzzmusic has joined the team as a level designer, and will also help with sounds and music. Please give him some warm welcome.
I'd personally like to thank RDs.Empire, Uil and Buzzmusic on joining us and really help develop the best experience for Marble Blast alongside HiGuy, Jeff and myself. This really gives PQ the push it needs and gives us all lots of motivation.
Thanks,

Greetings!
The Platinum Team is proud to announce that the fabled PlatinumQuest in its entirety will be put into a future update of Marble Blast Platinum! This will not delay MBP updates such as MBP 1.52 and future patches to the game. Because PlatinumQuest has a lot of features, it will take some time to port it to Marble Blast Platinum.
We would also like to take this time, to welcome RDs.Empire to The Platinum Team as an official member. RDs.Empire has done contract work before with us, and we really appreciate him taking up the offer. Please take a moment to welcome RDs.Empire to The Platinum Team.
This is an exciting time for the staff and the community! Expect more announcements of PlatinumQuest, and Marble Blast Platinum 1.52 updates in the future!
Until then, keep on rolling!
- The Platinum Team
