February Updates (January 30th - February 28th, 2018) First. Updates It's great to be back and posting! :) Looks like even with crunch, there's only so much time in the day (and night) to work. We are a month closer to release, but not there yet. Build a Game still has some bugs that need fixed before official launch. We want players to have a fun experience building and playing games, which means more bug squashing. :) Thank you to all those that continue to submit bugs to us (You're awesome!). :) Second. Tilesets! We will be releasing Tilesets each week(hopefully), starting with Indie Jones - Adventurer. Indie Jones will whip and punch his way through mummies, bats and snakes in his quest to find more gold. He will be available in the Market Center later today (tonight).

+ Third Features! (My favorite) Tile Offsetter This creates the depth effect with 2d objects in the scene. You can use it in your ui and during the game. When the mouse moves it offsets the tiles enabled based on their properties.
Learning Modes New to Build a Game Universe is the 'Learning' rollout (Top left of main menu). We have several learn modes that will be available in Build a Game.
