Resizing the grid is mostly useful for the more “advanced” users who want to build a lot so it might not be too bad if it’s just casually mentioned somewhere deep in the control settings menu, but we’ll see… I’m still thinking about how the game can teach this to new players without a big “Hey did you know you can do this cool thing?” notice. The problem with key combinations is that they aren’t immediately obvious…you have to learn them somehow, you rarely just accidentally find them by yourself. this is what happens when using Alt + 1 repeatedly: To make it a bit more clear what’s going on the grid overlay rescales now while snapping is active:Īnd you can change the grid resolution now, for example hitting Alt + 1 snaps to the center of a tile, Alt + 2 subdivides each tile into 2x2 cells, Alt + 4 subdivides into 4x4 cells and so on:Īnd finally you can toggle between snapping an object to the center or the corners of the grid cells by hitting the key combination for the currently active grid resolution again, e.g. We had scenery objects that can be build off-grid or alternatively snapped to a grid while holding the Alt key for a while. We had another fun art stream and Garret worked on some mixed stuff this time, including these nice Mine Carts that are alternate cars for the Wild Mouse coaster: The full change log is at the end of this post. This is also our first Linux release! Note that officially we’re only supporting Ubuntu 12.04+, as that is what our engine supports.

Pre-Alpha 5 is now available for download! Simply grab it from the download link that you received back when you purchased the game. I don't think we can make the Polercoaster work with our track builder. last month Garret had some time left and wanted to do a ride but it was 2-3 days before the planned release of Pre-Alpha 4 and I was busy with getting the build stable, so we did the Haunted House which was trivial to implement for me.Ī steeper drop is pretty high on our list but didn't make it in this month. Also depends a bit on what else we're doing that month, so if we've been very busy with other things and don't have much time left chances get bigger that we add one of these more easy to do coasters instead. Doesn't mean we might not add these, but they have lower priority for us. So chances are we'll for example add an inverted/powered/flying or the 4D you suggested first before you'll see a RMC/hyper/giga that are quite similar to coasters we already have but 'just' with less building limits. We're mainly adding new coasters based on how different to implement they are from the ones we already have, with the idea being that we get a nice variety of rides that feel and play differently like this and getting the technically hard to do rides out of the way first (gives us more time to tweak them if they don't work properly). We're currently not really going by age or commonness.
