Screenshots
Changelog
v3.6.0
Highlights
- Map editor overhaul: SetVariable / LoadMap triggers are now visible and configurable, Space+drag panning, fit-to-map on open, readable labels when zoomed out, double-click to open maps, working panel close buttons, and an unsaved-changes warning on exit.
- Missing files warning: the game now tells you (system dialog at startup, popup in-game) if any game files failed to load.
- Workshop moved to a new host- with a new signing key. Mods approved from now on need 3.6.0 to install.
Fixes
- Crash when inspecting Bomber / Spitter / Warden spawns in the editor
- Trigger settings (variable conditions, multi-fire, set-var, load-map) no longer jump to the wrong trigger after deleting one, and are now covered by undo
- Trigger settings were lost on save for maps without cutscenes
- Map Properties player settings (abilities, HP, bombs, speed, damage) now actually apply and save
- A broken map file no longer wipes the map you had open
- Text like "°" renders correctly; long text in fields is cropped instead of squashed
- Editor playtest: pause/death menus say "Back to Editor", and Retry really retries
- Custom map list no longer selects maps just by hovering
- Placeholder sprites for med-relay, power, water and antenna (Kenney, CC0), plus spitter and warden
⚠ Android
