Here's a brief update on what's in the pipeline. I hope to get it out this week, but it may take a bit longer. First of all; interaction during simulation. This means you can turn powered things off and on to suit your needs. [previewyoutube=vrm0VEkmhJ0;full][/previewyoutube] This inevitably leads to speculation about scripting possibilities. Like, can you use triggers to start things? Can they enable and disable each other? I won't deny that is a plan, but it won't be in this release. Then there's a bigger thing: Build Challenges.
The concept here is that you need to build a marble run where the marbles pass certain checkpoints. There are also certain volumes where you will not be allowed to place any pieces.
I hope this will serve as a way to engage those that are not primarily interested in the sandbox experience, but like a challenge. Initially there will only be a few of these, to check the interest, but eventually more will be added and perhaps with added complexity. [previewyoutube=cmpSZr7JORY;full][/previewyoutube] Do you have a better name for this than "Build Challenges"? Or a great idea for a puzzle? Then I'd love to hear about it :)
