Version 478f

- Adjusted MF_loadsprite() so that it can apply to more objects, such as background particles - Added MF_loadframe( fixed, filename, animation bank, sprite in levelpack folder y/n, frame (0-indexed) ) for replacing individual frames on object animations - Added MF_editor_enable( editor status (bool) ); I remembered that the editor must be enabled to access text input dialogue, so with this function you can quickly enable-then-disable the editor code group if you want to input text during gameplay in a mod

[ 2022-02-26 17:21:41 CET ] [ Original post ]

Apologies again for the inconvenience; the editor should now work as intended!


[ 2020-12-14 15:41:17 CET ] [ Original post ]


Technical difficulties, please stand by

The summary pretty much says it all. There was a small issue with the online functions which rendered them nonfunctional; the problem has already been fixed and we'll upload a new build as soon as it's ready. Sorry about that.


[ 2020-12-14 14:46:08 CET ] [ Original post ]


Online level-sharing is in public beta!

And here we are! The online level-sharing is now ready for public beta. Right-click the game on Steam, go properties -> betas and select "betatest" to get access to the ability to upload your levels. The feature is in beta so expect some bugs; I especially recommend potentially using mouse and keyboard instead of a gamepad for the editor for now. We'll be updated and fixing things as issues appear. Thank you for your support and patience! Let's hope everything goes swimmingly.
Oh! Also, if you make a level you're especially proud of or see a level you really like, there's now a twitter account at which you can tweet the levels (preferably with a screenshot!): https://twitter.com/BabaLevels The periodical featured levels will be at least partially picked from levels sent to said Twitter account.

Baba Is You Level Editor open beta!


Things have taken longer than intended, as they tend to do, but were almost there! In fact enough there to start publicly testing the beta! Specifically, the open beta bit concerns the online level-sharing feature, that has so far been off-limits outside of the closed testing group. I apologize for the lack of announcements or updates; things have been very busy all year. Since this is the first time were setting up something like this and we want to get an idea of how much there is to worry about and what kind of troubles and such well need to prepare for, the level-sharing is quite rudimentary initially. The way itll work for now is: - When you upload a level, you get a 9-symbol level code (in the format XXXX-YYYY) that others can use to download your level. - The game contains a featured levels list that well update every now and then by hand with new interesting levels. - When playing a level, you can at any time report it in the pause menu. Please do this if the level contains offensive things or is otherwise thematically unpleasant. The main way to access these features is via the Steam beta branch system; a lot of Steam players have been able to check out the progress of the editor over the past months already, albeit without the level-sharing. Now then, Ive felt very bad about the fact that people not on Steam havent been able to access the beta; its especially unfortunate for Nintendo Switch users, since theyve had to wait the longest for updates in general. Due to this, heres how I plan to go forward: - The update will go live on Sunday (Dec 13th) or Monday (Dec 14th), most likely. There are still some final things to be handled (although the editor will still be slightly unfinished even when the level-sharing goes live there will be translations & music missing, among other things), and I will try to get those sorted out this weekend. - I have an idea that I want to try to possibly offer limited access to the beta editor for those not on Steam. This might not work, so I wont promise that it will be a thing yet, but I will investigate the possibility and share news on it when it either becomes apparent that it could never work or that its feasible. Apologies, but there are factors here that are beyond my ability to affect. - The beta wont include the new upcoming levelpacks, as those need some more work and assets. - The beta will be available throughout December; the actual update unfortunately probably wont be released in 2020 after all, since even if everything went swimmingly, there are some necessary procedures we have to go through that take time. Sorry about that. Once we know for sure when everything will be done, Ill make a cool trailer and set a release date. Apologies for missing the planned date, but I hope this public beta alleviates things somewhat. Finally, thanks to all of you for your amazing support and kindness towards the project over the years! I really want to offer all of you some neat extra content and hope that the editor works and is fun to use. I also think that Baba & friends will appear in some future games, although nothing is set in stone regarding that. You can read this message also on my blog: https://www.hempuli.com/blogblog/archives/2338

A tiny, tiny patch - March 17th

The in-game gamepad control database was broken; thanks to how Steam works it probably didn't impact that many players, but it's fixed now in any case!

Tiny update - March 9th

Version ID: 277 Hello! This update merely fixes some small bugs & slight errors in a couple translations. As usual, the level editor has been worked on and things progress on that front, though. As mentioned in the previous patch, you can opt-in to the betatest branch to get access to the unfinished editor. Bugfixes etc: - The word Fall was bugged thanks to the removal of seemingly-pointless-but-actually-important code in the previous update - Small errors in a couple translations were ironed out

Awards! Small update - February 28th

Hello!
Baba Is You won the "Outstanding Achievement in Game Design" award at the DICE awards. That's really cool! See the winners here: https://www.interactive.org/awards/2020_23rd_annual_dice_awards.asp As the subtitle also implies, there's been a lot of work done on the official editor. In fact, we're finally at a stage where some outside testing has been performed on it! If you want to play around with the test version of the editor, head to the betatest branch (no password required.) Note though that things are still very rough around the edges, and that the level-uploading system doesn't actually do anything right now. I'm going to make a post soon that details the exact features of the editor; this post has been a bit overdue but better late than never. Unfortunately, the concentrated effort on the editor means that there aren't that many general bugs to list, but in the end I feel this'll be worth it if it means you get the editor in your hands faster! Version ID: 274 - The Portuguese translation has been updated! There's now a clearer distinction between Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese in the translations. - Fixed a bug that caused the language menu to break on gamepads after changing language - Fixed a bug where watching the intro cinematic broke save data Level adjustments: - Platformer (found in Rocket Trip; the old level was very fiddly)

Patch - November 16th


It's been a long time since the game last updated! There's been a lot to do, as my previous announcement noted. This update should get the game into a more stable state, so that future updates are easier to push out. Version ID: 253 Features: - Languages! The game now supports 13 languages, with more coming later. Note that the translations only affect the UI and menus; the graphics are English-only. We tried hard to look into localizing it all but it would've been too massive of an undertaking. (Please report any issues with the translations, be it on Steam or in-game!) - You can now see the version ID in the bottom-left corner of the main menu! Relatedly, I moved away from the two-letter version naming scheme because it could've been confusing. Fixes & Tweaks: - You can now disable gamepad detection entirely in the settings -> control settings menu. This is because some players had the game detect non-gamepad devices and such and because certain gamepads' input was erroneously interpreted. - The game will get an official level editor in 2020! I'll make a flashier announcement about that in a bit. Anyway, there have been some underlying changes in preparation for that. More about this in the "For modders" section. Level adjustments: - Tunnel (located in Volcanic cavern; the level didn't utilize the intended mechanic) For modders: - As noted previously, this update will break the in-game editor. It'll also break the in-game "custom levels" -menu, although I'll try to fix that quickly with upcoming patches. If you wish to use the old in-game editor, right click the game on Steam, go properties -> betas and select the branch "old-editor".

Note about the next update


Hello! Huge apologies for the lack of activity on Baba Is You - there has been just so much to do, and not only business-wise. We have an update coming soon, some of which has been in the works for 6 months. Due to this long time of accumulation, I've done some other changes on the side to make future work easier. Makes sense, I think? Anyway, one of these side things has been starting work on the official level editor. Since the debug editor already within the game isn't super nice to use even in terms of its more basic functionality/UI, I decided to overhaul quite a bit of stuff. It's neat! This means that the final editor will (hopefully) be able to offer a better user experience. However, since the editor isn't finished yet (and won't be in a bit; more news on that coming later), as the next update arrives the current editor will be broken. Like, probably unusably so. Therefore I'd recommend that anyone who has been making levels using that editor back up their game and use an older version. I could technically even set up an "old version" branch on Steam to allow access to the times when the editor was as it is now. Again, apologies, both for my lack of activity regarding Baba and for these upcoming inconveniences. It'll almost certainly be for the best in the long run! TL; DR: The in-game editor will break soon, back up your game if you'll miss it!

Noita coming to Early Access on September 24th!

Noita, a game I've been working on in the Nolla Games team, will be coming to Steam Early Access on September 24th and has a new trailer! Check out the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smkdscv6SJs Noita's Steam page (if you're interested, do give it a wishlist): https://store.steampowered.com/app/881100/Noita/ The game is an action roguelite with the twist of every pixel in the game world being physically simulated. What this means is that the world is made of different materials that can be destroyed and react to each other. Wood burns, and water coming into contact with fire creates steam that in turn condenses back into water, and so on.

Patch - August 1st

Version ID: HX Fixes & tweaks: - The game now stores a temporary save file when you save! In case the save file gets corrupted, you now have a backup to save the data. Yay! - Fixed the game storing sub-second frame timing data improperly; not very important but I guess the game tracks your playtime more accurately now - Fixed a graphical glitch in an ending-related thing - Fixed a case where the borders of the levels were considered Empty - A lot of underlying work for translations - Fixed a rare bug relating to an endgame conditional word Adjusted levels: - Meteor Strike (found in [spoiler]ABC[/spoiler], an unintended solution) - Triplets (found in [spoiler]Meta[/spoiler], a large unintended solution) - Rocky Road (found in Forest of Fall, changed Foliage to Rocks to keep the name sensible) - Hidden Path (found in [spoiler]Meta[/spoiler], covered some words with red herring-like potential) - Out At Sea (found in Garden, added water that I had removed during development for the name to make some sense)

Small patch - July 2nd

Version ID: HQ - Fixed the secret mentioned in the previous update - Fixed a level selection -related bug - Fixed a particular Win-condition not working - Fixed a rare conditional statement not working - Maybe fixed a small graphical glitch related to the game's ending


[ 2019-07-02 01:37:22 CET ] [ Original post ]


Patch - July 1st

Version ID: HP Well, that took a bit. There was a large under-the-hood change that prevented patching until it was completed. Everything should now work again, although I'm slightly scared of the possibility that this not be the case. A lot of the work being done in the game at the moment is aimed towards being able to start proper work on the official level editor. Apologies for some longer-standing bugs still being in the game. Anyway! Fixes & tweaks: - New option in the settings menu! You can now disable screenshake. - There's a new secret thing in the game! - The map [spoiler]Center[/spoiler] now has a clear counter like other maps, so you can actually fully finish it. This should retroactively activate if you've already cleared the map. - Changed the way the level selector works. This shouldn't affect the playing experience apart from one level adjustment listed below. If you note new bugs with the level selector, I'm very interested in knowing about them. - Very end-game stuff: [spoiler]If you'd try to enter two levels at once, the game now opens a menu to pick from.[/spoiler] - Added a visual indicator for movement that "fails" (i.e. ends up not moving the object). So if Baba moves against a Shifting object, you'll now get a small visual indicator that some movement happened. - Fixed a buggy cutscene when the player states [spoiler]All Is Win And Done[/spoiler] - A large adjustment where all relevant sprites were moved to a "general" sprite folder instead of many of them being specific to the main game - You can now use "Return to map" in [spoiler]???[/spoiler] Level adjustments: - Elusive condition (prevented an unintended & tedious solution, found in [spoiler]Chasm[/spoiler]) - Floodgates (used to have tons of rules, adjusted the level to have the same idea with less fixed rules, found in [spoiler]Chasm[/spoiler]) - A Way Out? (just blocked off a bit of the level that could've worked like a red herring, found on the main map) - Another Way (same as above, found in [spoiler]Meta[/spoiler]) - ??? (changed the level to account for changes mentioned above ([spoiler]the map selector behaving like an object made an interaction in this level break stuff, now the level accounts for that[/spoiler])) For modders (spoilers!): - The maximum object number has been increased to 150, with Cursor using object150 - The map selector/cursor is now an object instead of its own thing. This means that it can be Pushed/Pulled and so on. As a result of this, the old "Set Selector" button in the unfinished editor now spawns one of these Cursor objects at the beginning of the level (assuming there isn't a Cursor there already). One Cursor is selected as the "main cursor" and when you beat a level, only the main cursor is positioned onto the beaten level. - A new intrinsic rule has been added to rules.lua, "Cursor Is Select". Select governs objects that work like map selectors. If you want to use it in your levelpacks, be wary in that it can be wonky in some special cases. - If you're using [spoiler]letters[/spoiler] in a level, you can now add the line "customobjects" to that level's .ld file to define custom words that are considered valid when creating the rules. These words gain the word type 8, which you need to enable for conditionals etc. using the "argtype" quality.

Heads-up about next patch

A new patch with mostly bugfixes will go live sometime soon. There's one change that may affect people who've made custom levels that I referred to in the previous patch notes, and I wanted to point it out again here to avoid extra confusion/frustration. To prepare for the official editor, the next patch moves sprite files that were in the main level pack's folder but that weren't meant to be specific for that level pack into the general sprite folder. That means that levels that assumed that their sprites are in the level pack -specific folder will load erroneous sprites. No crashes or errors, hopefully, they'll just not look like they should. Hopefully this won't cause too much trouble. There will probably be some upcoming changes that similarly impact things people have already made; I'll try to mention them beforehand.

Patch - May 28th

Version ID: HJ (You can press left control + J to view the version ID while in the main menu.) Fixes and tweaks: - Fixed a small ending-related visual bug if the grid is enabled - Fixed a rather severe oversight where certain rules were adding events to the undo buffer in the wrong order, causing errors - Added an additional check for situations where the player would've cleared an area but due to e.g. level repositioning between versions didn't get the flower for it - Fixed a bug where floating Baba and a weak Wall would have a mystery interaction - In certain cases where the game would freeze, it displays a special effect instead (this'll be expanded on and it might not appear in the game at the moment) - Large underlying code reworking related to [spoiler]conditionals[/spoiler], not relevant in the game right now but it's work for the future - Related to the above, [spoiler]conditionals with parameters behave in an equivalent way whether the condition has a Not or not[/spoiler] - Fixed the word [spoiler]Facing not accepting directional words[/spoiler] - Related to above, made [spoiler]Empty Is work mostly as intended[/spoiler] - Fixed [spoiler]"Empty Is X" particle effects appearing everywhere even if Empty had a conditional word[/spoiler] Level adjustments: - Whoops (a very small change; level found in [spoiler]???[/spoiler]) - Collaborative effort (removed an unintended approach, found in [spoiler]Depths[/spoiler]) - Acrobatics (one of the changes listed above broke the level, found in [spoiler]Meta[/spoiler]) - Tectonic Movements (fixed a small readability issue, found in [spoiler]Mountaintop[/spoiler]) - Seeking Acceptance (made the level more symmetric, purely a visual thing, found in [spoiler]Mountaintop[/spoiler]) - Heavy Cloud (this might actually be a large change, found in [spoiler]Space[/spoiler]) - Keke And The Star (fixed an unintended solution, found in [spoiler]Chasm[/spoiler]) - The Heist (removed red herrings, found in [spoiler]Cavern[/spoiler]) - Gallery (this'll need more work, but made the limits of the level clearer, found in [spoiler]Center[/spoiler]) - Backstage (fixed a fairly tiny alternative solution, found in [spoiler]Cavern[/spoiler]) - Maritime Adventures (removed an unnecessary element, found in [spoiler]Garden[/spoiler]) For modders: - I will start working on features related to making the game ready for the level editor such as adjusting the data structuring; these changes will almost inevitably break mods. I'll try to list in these patch notes changes that I think might be like this. My apologies in advance. - More modder-specific patchnotes will be entirely spoilered, so behold: [spoiler]- "Not On Keke And Baba" now requires the object not to be on both at the same time instead of either one to make the functionality equivalent to "On"; all conditionals with parameters work now the same way. - The "operatortype" -value has been removed from values.lua; it made the system needlessly more complicated. If you want to change objects to conditionals, use the 'type' value. If you want a conditional with parameters to allow other parameters than objects, edit the level file and add changes "argtype" and "argextra". - I'll be moving sprites from the Data/Worlds/baba/sprites/ folder to Data/sprites/ because most of the ones in the former aren't really meant to be specific to the main game.[/spoiler]

Tiny update - May 13th

I meant to wait a bit longer and have a larger update done, but I wanted to get one of these changes out faster so here we are. - Added guest credits to "Across" (level in the [spoiler]??? area[/spoiler].) Apologies to Corey Martin for missing that when adding the level. - A relatively large underlying code rework to prepare for certain even larger future changes. This will break mods, but might cause other issues as well. Apologies for the trouble; once I get this and that later additional change done things should* be more stable. * Hopefully

Game Developers Conference week - slower response

Hi! I've just arrived to the Game Developers' Conference, and the hoten internet here is a bit dodgy. Unfortunately this means that my ability to respond to feedback and questions may be hampered. Apologies and thank you for your support!

Soundtrack patch

Hello! Thanks to everyone for the kind response to the game! This is just an audio patch that fixes the MP3 files in the soundtrack; they had been processed on a very low bitrate by accident. There'll be a patch with bugfixes and tweaks a bit later.

  • Baba Is You is an award-winning puzzle game where you can change the rules by which you play. In every level, the rules themselves are present as blocks you can interact with; by manipulating them, you can change how the level works and cause surprising, unexpected interactions! With some simple block-pushing you can turn yourself into a rock, turn patches of grass into dangerously hot obstacles, and even change the goal you need to reach to something entirely different.



    The game has over 100 levels that experiment with the game's mechanics in a multitude of ways, requiring the player to understand and manipulate the rules of the game and figure out devious ways to make the objects in the game world interact. The game will also feature a level editor for making your own levels and campaigns.



    The game was originally created for and won the Nordic Game Jam 2017. Baba Is You also won the Excellence in Design and Best Student Game awards in the Independent Games Festival 2018, and was nominated a finalist in 2 other categories, including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The game was made using Multimedia Fusion 2 by Clickteam.
