Optimizations - Jimmy

I've been working on various optimizations to speed up Logic World, and this week I've significantly improved the circuit simulation performance. I made a little video to demonstrate gameplay in an insanely demanding world before and after the optimizations. [previewyoutube=ogGwdZnv5X8;full][/previewyoutube]

Moddable Sound Effects - Jimmy

Historically, sound effects in Logic World have been closed, hardcoded things. Mods could play the built-in sound effects, but it was difficult if not impossible for them to add custom sound effects. It was also an annoying amount of work for us to add new hardcoded sounds. Well, this week I redid our sound effect system, and sounds are now loaded from disk at runtime. Adding a new sound effect, for us or for modders, is as easy as dropping a .wav or .ogg into your mod folder and writing a small data file.

Ground Types - Jimmy

Taking advantage of the new easy sound effects, I've added a system for custom ground types. Every point on any object can declare its ground type, and each ground type can declare a specific sound effect for players that walk or jump or land on it. I've also been experimenting with ground types that affect the movement logic of players walking on them. [previewyoutube=li2SrhRwRu4;full][/previewyoutube] Ground types are the latest in my series of tools to help me build epic environments for doing logic in. I'm super excited about these worlds, and I can't wait to show them to you in forthcoming Wednesdays :D

Bugs Fixed This Week

• Fixed non-connected input pegs sharing a circuit state with some random piece of circuitry in worlds that have filled up all the starting circuit state indexes
• Fixed a couple issues preventing you from loading a second save after already doing so once in a given session
• Fixed exclusive pegs not having a deterministic update order relative to components
• Fixed some potential issues with unconnected exclusive pegs
• Fixed music not playing if the path to the music contained a '#' or a '%' or was a UNC path or various other edge cases

--------------------------------------------- We'll keep releasing these weekly updates right up until the game comes out.
