Here's the list of changes in Angeldust v3.5:

We never go out of style

With Angeldust v3.5 you can now easily choose between the "Cartoon" or "3D" visual style using the new style chooser:
The visual style chooser pops up at first Angeldust start-up and can later be accessed using the language selection button on the sign-in form.

Quicker, smoother, better, faster

Speaking of the "3D" visual style: it's been optimized a lot. Sprites now take up 33% less memory and render much faster thanks to precomputing detailed lighting information.

Sleeping village

Big changes to the game world village this time around! First up: all house building plots (my technical term) are now made of woodchips and fully flush with the pavement:
The woodchips add color to the village and thanks to the flush design it's easier to start building a tiny house (I'm hip!) where you don't get stuck in the floor. I've shoveled all the old gravel from inside the village to the pathways outside the village so new players can still easily discover both materials. We now also have new and more detailed cupboards inside the village wall tool sheds. Courtesy of space is green (ignore the black void at the bottom :D):

Cellular control

All of these changes were of course done using the new cell targeting crosshair in Angeldust v3.5. Bigger and better. It's transparent and gray when inactive, opaque and fully colored when active:

Gonna make a change

Big news: Angeldust now stores more incremental backups of all land claims in the game. Firefly (that's-a me!) managed to load in about 120 backups of the game world, going back all the way to four days after the Angeldust v1.0 (pre-Steam!) launch day. I hope to use this new functionality to create beautiful timelapse videos of the in-game wonders. More on this soon (hopefully)!

Additional changes

• Fix block picker not targeting active photon blocks
• Prevent a few Hero battle! (PvP) score exploits
