"The Last Exhibit" Patch Notes

Features

• AddedSteamCloud Saving is now fully integrated. In particular, your save file, Museum layout, game settings, Mondrian Maker settings, local leaderboards, and even your Active and Inactive Levels will all sync across your various devices. Make sure you have Steam Cloud enabled for the game under its Steam Properties and you should be all set!

• Menu: Holiday events are no longer network-bound.

• Menu: Restored Fullscreen/Windowed mode toggle.

• Menu: Restored Windowed resolutions, which will properly resize the game in Windowed mode. Fullscreen will still fill the game to your native screen resolution.

• AddedMenuAdded “Download” and “Skip” buttons inside the Workshop Subscriptions popup. This way, you can skip downloading Workshop files if you don’t need or want to.
• AddedMenuAdded an alternative “Download Workshop Content” button to the Options menu.
• AddedGameAdded Right Triangle and Quarter Circle Blocks, plus powerup and obstacle variants for each.
• AddedGameAdded particle effects for popped Right Triangle and Quarter Circle blocks.
• AddedWorkshopUploaded several new levels to Steam Workshop that take advantage of the new blocks! These are also available on mod.io & as a free download on itch.io.
• AddedMakerAdded two new block shape selectors for Right Triangles and Quarter Circles.
• AddedMakerAdded Right Triangle and Quarter Circle block selectors.

• Maker: Click any value (Scale, Angle, Red, Green, or Blue) to bring up a number entry box. Type in any value from a slider’s minimum to its max!

• AddedMakerAdded a “Nudge Snap” checkbox. This snaps blocks to Grid setting when nudging to help prevent misalignment.

• Maker: Introducing Speedpaint mode! Now, when you Open a level, you can check off the Speedpaint box under the “Open Level” button. Doing so will paint your level one block at a time, and all sliders will move along with each individual block. You can use this to capture a quick video of your creation being built to share on social media (and it’s great for GIFs!) or just behold your masterpiece being constructed one block at a time. Note that there is a half-second delay before the Speedpaint begins, giving you some breathing space for editing your video. You can press any key, controller button, or mouse button to cancel the speedpaint and just load the level. Since the Paintbrush cursor that’s shown during a Speedpaint is not attached to your mouse cursor, rather each block as it appears, we recommend moving your mouse off-screen during a Speedpaint so it doesn’t show up on top of the final result.

• AddedMakerAdded new Keyboard Shortcut for making a New Level (Control-N).
• AddedMakerAdded new Keyboard Shortcut for changing Color Harmony (Control-H).
• AddedMakerThe “Instructions” panel has been replaced with a new list of “Quick Links,” which includes a brand new Mondrian Maker and Studio PDF manual, free of charge. When clicked, this manual will automatically open in your web browser, Adobe Acrobat, or your other default PDF reader. “Free Admission” players get a Black & White version of the manual, while “Lifetime Pass” players get full-color. A high quality print version of the manual is available from our Shop.
