• Level Editor Improvements

  • Most items can now be rotated

    • In the right inventory menu you have 2 buttons each one for setting a different positional and rotational grid level. This allows for more customization in levels

  • You can now import XML levels by modifying the generated XML when saving a level!

• General Improvement

  • A new character model has been added! (as part of the game incremental redesign)

  • Performance has been slightly improved for Quest in this version due to a change in the stereoscopic rendering mode

  • Oculus Quest is using Phase sync now so you may notice an improvement with the tracking latency in-game

Wait… Multiplayer?

That’s right! Hyperstacks is getting multiplayer! The current implementation of multiplayer is unfinished and most importantly... EXPERIMENTAL! Don't expect it to work very well right now. You can connect to a default room by just pressing connect in the hand menu (experimental > join multiplayer room > connect) or you can specify an ID to create/join a room with friends

XML importing? What’s that?

XML importing enables you to be even more creative with your level designs by allowing you to escape the boundaries of the level editor! An example of what this allows is for example:

• changing text colour (using ) or font scale (using ) in text signs,

• Add items by text

• Avoid some level editor restrictions

• Other things that escape my knowledge

• Use it wisely you have great power in your hand now!

Miscellaneous Changes

• Experimental Multiplayer now has Nametags!

• Removal of Halloween themed things there isn’t a non-Halloween model for bombs right now sorry, I have not enough time for modeling yet saws still appearing in the editor item menu with the Halloween skin this has to be fixed yet
