ALIGNMENT : An Engineering Odyssey · published

Level 4 Tutorial Guidance

  • Refined the Level 4 tutorial flow, with updated instructions, tutorial videos, directional guidance, and mission dialogue.
  • Expanded localized tutorial text and fixed truncated Japanese text and repeated mission dialogue.
  • Improved the tutorial video interface and video switching. Tutorial content remains under active development.

Camera and Editing Controls

  • Improved mouse-wheel zoom and middle-mouse panning, including zooming around the cursor and dragging the map.
  • Camera positioning now uses smooth transitions to reduce abrupt jumps and unwanted movement caused by momentum.
  • Refined road-editing control points and on-screen controls, along with the positioning and tooltips of road and cross-section detail panels.

Localized Text and Saves

  • Fixed missing characters and other text display issues, and improved the display, renaming, and loading of save names in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages.
  • Improved custom-map importing and save loading, and fixed crashes that could occur when importing images or connecting roads.

Driving Improvements

  • Improved the R-key road reset, including a fix for resetting immediately after starting to drive.
  • Improved vehicle spawn and reset position checks to avoid occupied locations.

Roads, Terrain, and Scenes

  • Fixed issues affecting separated roads, ramp-to-terrain alignment, culvert burial-depth adjustments, and terrain around tunnel portals. Continued improvements to slope editing.
  • Updated selected level scenery, background vegetation, and road and slope materials, and optimized rendering settings for some low-poly models.

Experimental Traffic Improvements

  • Fixed road commits unexpectedly resuming traffic while a tutorial had paused it or the player had switched it off.
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + T to toggle traffic. This feature remains under active development.
