Story Changes

  • Added back in a slightly updated Sphere as an updated level.

  • Swapped out Mothership for Granite as a second, slightly easier level for the demo.

  • Added one additional small cutscene / VN segment.

Example mod: Advanced FPS Overlay

Features

  • Added built-in mod support and a new template mod for viewing object counts.

  • Added a new quick action mod for customizing gameplay.

  • Added annotation tools with adjustable brush sizes, smoother drawing, and a 0.1s default duration.

  • Added a new layering system for all objects, allowing for better control over parallax and player-relative rendering.

  • Added a new trigger to allow for multiple intro titles or to disable the intro entirely.

  • Added an on-screen input viewer accessible through the debug console.

  • Added the ability to zoom the camera in the editor using the scroll wheel.
