addedAlpha 15 is ready and here’s what’s new. There’s a new enemy bird, the magpie – you can find her in the large area right of the shard destruction machine. Recent visitors to that area also reported sightings of squirrels. The nearby water temple is newly decorated and a pilgrimage site was erected there. Have you ever wondered what the blue orbs are for? They used to grant extra lives. We’ve changed that to a new mechanic: collect 100 to receive a free instant respawn on the spot, if you die. This should make it easier to unlock the eight new achievements – Cryptographer, Mother of Many, Sliver Hoarder, Fatal Dash, Transporter, Born To Kill, Catcher and Thorny Thistle. The editor received a few new features, too. Press + + to turn on a snapping grid for rapid level decoration in the node and the path editor. There are components for multiplexing events (“EventMux”) and for turning any value into a string (“EventPropertyLabel”) now. Here's the full list:
addedAdded new bird 'magpie'. (WIP)
addedAdded new animal 'squirrel'. (WIP)
changedChanged blue orb mechanic - collect 100 for an instant respawn.
removedRemoved permadeath from the game.
changedUpdated player death sequence.
