Week 64 - 65 - Waypoints Are In! (December 14th - December 23th, 2017) The last news post of 2017 is here! :) First. 'Howdy', to our few hundred new beta testers that signed up the past two weeks. We look forward to your testing skills and valuable input as we put the finishing touches on Build a Game Universe. Thank you for being here! Second. Waypoint tile is wrapping up. We've still got a few bugs in it, but things should be ready for testing. :) The system is designed with bezier, smooth and linear style paths, while allowing you to connect most tiles to it for some fun gameplay ideas. A few examples of what it can do are below. :) + The dragon! (Starting with the coolest one first)
+ Mover on a ping-pong path with delays (linear)
+ Waypoint path looping (bezier curve)
+ Waypoint simple curve
+ Colliders using waypoint path
+ Waypoint controlled by trigger
+ Waypoint node color change
+ Waypoint node scaling
+ Waypoint single line with multi-followers (all different properties)
Third. Tile Builder Features + Exporting - Allows you to save a copy of your project and use it as a starter for another one. + Template - Allows you to save a tile type and its properties, then apply them to other project tiles. (Example. Make a great player tile and apply those to other player tiles in other projects). Next week, we'll take a look (videos) on what they are and how to use them. :) Release Notes (and current bug list) Training Videos 1025+ videos are available for learning Build a Game! 116 videos are available for learning Tile Builder!

For Christmas this year, we leave you with these two awesome verses from Isaiah, about 700 years before the birth of Jesus. :) Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God with us). Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. And with that, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you! Chad - Nathan - Eric
