Welcome to Alpha 4.9.7 - Update #40!

Lots of bug fixes, sound effects and new ACK content in this update - enjoy!

New placeable visual effects

We’ve added a new section to the Prop menu in the ACK - Effects! These are placeable visual effects that have no impact on gameplay. There’s some smoke and fire props (the fire won’t damage players, it’s cosmetic only) as well as some dust motes and fog. They can all be turned on and off via events and they all cost 5 points.

Sliding bookshelves that move right

We’ve added right sliding bookshelves to complement the left sliding ones… every sliding bookshelf now shows a left or right yellow arrow to indicate which way it will move.
