Patch Notes

Update #5 is out!



A wild update appeared! This has a little bit of everything: the first version of our story system, caves have gotten a complete overhaul, much better traps, a live preview mode for the map editor, and a whole slough of engine updates and bug fixes to finish things off.

Like always let us know if you encounter any issues, enjoy!

Features
  • Out with the old caves, in with the new caves
  • Traps are physical objects now
  • Story notes will be spawned inside the dungeon now
  • Added a lowercase font
  • Engine support for movers now, like elevators and buttons
  • The editor has a live preview mode now, no more leaving the editor to test something out
  • Faster level saving / loading (3x faster at least!)
  • Added a graphics detail mode, that should speed up performance on slower systems
  • The Yithidian Orb is Orbier now

Fixes
  • Monsters no longer jump headfirst into pits and lava
  • Performance fixes with emitter visiblity
  • Fixed crash when a looping sound doesn't load
  • Entity groups in the editor rotate properly when placed in levels
  • Triggers on Dungeon tiles now only look within that tile for matching IDs
  • Editor now uses the same renderer as the game does
  • Skyboxes are pulled properly from dungeons.dat now
  • Fixed some weirdly rotated doors. Door, why you do that?

Also, have you seen prol3's lets plays of Delver yet? They're super cool. Like, super, amazingly cool.
