March Update: Easier Building, Laser Blocks, and Improved Inventory
[ 2014-03-07 23:57:57 CET ] [ Original post ]
Here's a quick summary of the last month's updates:
Easier to Learn Building System
You guys spoke, and I listened -- the building system has been streamlined and is easier to learn. Just click the item in your inventory you want to build with and plop it down in the world. Picking up items is a simple icon in your inventory. It's even possible to drop swords again if you want to.
Laser Turrets
You can now build laser turrets that fire at other players. Great for use as a defensive block to protect your town, or build it in your dungeon to create devious traps.
Check it out in-game today!
Improved Inventory
The inventory has been overhauled -- no more overlapping blocks, and it supports scroll wheel.
Performance Improvements
You should find the new build runs faster than previous builds, especially in areas with many objects. On my laptop in one place particularly full of blocks, my FPS jumped from ~30FPS to about ~55FPS after this change.
