Developer's comments

Dear MuX-icians: With this new update, along with a bunch of new components, we have reworked the Interaction system, resulting in a much improved button-pressing experience. Instead of having to carefully touch a button, you can now press, poke, whack and slam to your heart's content! We also added a major improvement to the visual feedback. Event components now light up when firing, making it easier to follow what is going on. We have also added the first version of our in-game Wiki. In the Wiki, you can read articles about all of the components, as well as various important concepts, such as connections, signals and commands. Some Wiki pages also feature examples, to help you understand the various concepts and components in MuX. To enter the wiki, either find the i button in the Hub, or type loadx wiki into L_IZA. Please note that MuX is a work in progress, and everything is subject to change. We hope you have fun with the new update, and we'd like to give a warm welcome to all of the new players who have joined us since the last update. Please feel free to share your thoughts and creations here in the steam forum, on reddit, or on social media. Stay MuX-y! -The MuX team
