A New Season has arrived and brings new items, new props, the Level Instance device, and a new, easy way for players to support creators by liking your Island! 

 

New Items

Physics Trees

Trees that fall, roll, and cause damage! These trees can damage players, vehicles, and buildings – Timber! 

 

Physics Boulders

We introduce to you three new physics boulders! Create traps with Trap boulders that will be stationary until triggered, use the new Balance boulders in a map to create tactical enemy eliminations, or place Physics boulders that can sink (or be used for resources)! Time to get those maps rocking.

Like This Island!

It is now easier than ever for players to tell us when they enjoy an island! With 21.00 we've added functionality to the UI that will allow players to give a thumbs up to an island on exit. This gives players a quick and easy way to tell us which islands they loved without adding them to a Favorites list. This feature is rolling out as a test. During this testing phase, creators will not be able to see how many likes their Island has received.  

Other Updates and changes

• The Island thermometer has been unified so the same system will be used for small and larger islands! The selection tool that now replaces the old hovering mechanism will inform creators about the saved memory cost of removing the selected item. 

• The level Instance device has been released. This device will make it simple to create your own prefabs! Read more in the Level Instance Device document here
