Since the last update we've been working really hard on fixing a vew of our persistent issues as well as overhauling the entire level creator.
------------------------------------------------------
New Features
Control Overhaul
It took a long time to get this in but it was far more awkward / complicated than you'd imagine.
All Mirrors and Emitters have a new control system; when clicking anywhere on them, they will start to rotate. This fixes the issue with the smallest mirror that often refuses to turn.
Level Creation Overhaul
We have overhauled a lot of the level creator that improves how easy it is to make levels, provides guidance on making a level as well as a few tweaks here and there.
- Added a back button at the naming window.
- Added validation that requires all levels to have at least one mirror, one emitter and one receptacle.
- It is no longer possible to have more than one emitter or receptacle on a single level.
- Added names to each of the buttons.
- Fixed a bug where the mummy would go active after a few seconds within the level creator.
- No longer possible to place Mirrors when naming a level.
Options Changes
We've also taken steps in improving the functionality and responsiveness of Mirrors.
- Removed Settings window on launch.
- Added Graphics Settings to the main menu Options.
- We will be adding additional settings as time goes on.
Dust Change
Improved dust effect when rotating objects.
New Platform
We have also made it possible to play Mirrors on Linux platforms. We know there may be a few functionality issues but we have done our best to weed these out. If you do encounter any please let us know and we'll get them fixed asap.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a lag issue when hitting an ice trap with an emitter.
------------------------------------------------------
We are currently working on getting Mirrors ready for release on touch screen devices. As ever we will continue working on new features for mirrors. These will be released in the next few months.
We are also looking at updating our current website to inform you about other projects that we're working. The new site will be far more directed at our games rather than the services we offered.
As ever, if you have any feedback we would love to hear it.
