Snapdragon 850 with Vendetta Mention

New processor revealed at Computex has an article written about it with a plug for VO in there, complete with link to the site. In reference to the processor's performance:

I also enjoyed playing a couple rounds of 64-bit game Vendetta on the device. Since Microsoft launched 64-bit support for ARM-based PCs at Build this year, not many developers have gone to the trouble of recompiling their apps for the platform. VLC the video player was the first to do so, and Vendetta joins that list. While I wasn't blown away by the graphics on the reference device's 2K display, I was satisfied that there was no lag as I shot down several spaceships by jabbing repeatedly at the connected touchpad. If more developers recompile their apps for ARM 64, it could lead to faster performance on Windows on Snapdragon in general.

Awesome

Excellent! Another example of the stuff the devs work hard on but can't disclose until launch. I'm glad they got some well-deserved press and even some (distant) video of the game. Thanks for posting!

Hey, that's cool. I didn't really expect much press out of this demo.

There's actually another article here:

"64-bit game Vendetta played perfectly smoothly, with graphics looking great and no issues with lag."

Maybe this has caused the recent uptick in IndieDB visits, I wonder
