changedHi all, Well it’s finally here. The thing you’ve all been waiting for; the Grapple Gun! Oh yeah, and a First Person Camera …. AND ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!!! That’s right, starting right now, you can opt into a Beta branch on your Steam library that allows you and one of your friends on your Steam Friends list to play in each-others Worlds together for the very first time! Race, Build, Explore, Destroy, Paint, Decorate and battle across your varied landscapes and designs! To opt-in to the Beta, you’ll need to do the following:
changedFrom here go the Betas tab. In the drop down menu, select the ‘Beta’ option.
addedYou’ll see the options for starting or joining an Online World under the Settings menu on the World Selection Screen. Simply choose ‘Start Online Game’ and then press the Green Tick so it says 'Enabled'. Then close that box and load a World as normal. Congrats! You now host an Online Game. Any of your friends can then join the game by either using the ‘Join Game’ button in that same menu, which will open the Steam Friends list for you, or going direct to the Steam Friends list themselves. Then click on the name of your friend playing LEGO® Worlds, and press ‘Join Game’. Give it a moment to load, and then enjoy! So what else in new in the Beta? First Person Camera Well, after huge demand, we have finally given the people what they wanted! A first person camera is now available under the pause options. You can also quickly cycle between camera modes by pressing ‘C’ on the keyboard, or by clicking in your left stick on your Xbox One or Dualshock 4 controllers. The camera will help those who want to explore the various depths of their Worlds caves, and offer added freedom with building too! Grapple Gun We’ve also added a nifty Grapple Gun! Zoom around your map in new ways as you zip from point to point with your handy grapple gun. One of our demo Worlds at E3 will actually be a Grapple Gun course, so hopefully we’ll get some fun footage of people trying it out! New Vehicle Controls (Rotational Controls) Another update that is hopefully well received, is a new controls setup for Vehicles. The current setup is what was referred to in our last Dev Diary (found here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/332310/discussions/0/350532536104894292/) as ‘Directional’. We’ve added a much simpler ‘Rotational’ controls setup, where movement is defined by a button press, rather than pointing in a direction. This means that on an Xbox controller for example; A is forwards and X is reverse. Updated Biome Atmospherics & Large Scale Ambient Occlusion Those of you that read our Dev Diaries will have seen these two aspects mentioned recently. We have added several key changes to some of the visuals within certain biomes, as well as some much needed lighting improvements. The full scope of these changes can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/332310/discussions/0/357284767255140967/ Shiny! Road Tiles We’ve added a few of the official LEGO City Road tiles into the Brick Building tool! Set up your cities and towns road networks (and help solve the problem that is the British M6 whilst you’re at it for bonus points!) We’ve also thrown in a couple of new quests as well for
