WARNING
This update will unfortunately render all level files made with 0.7.0 unreadable. You may still play these levels by switching to the "compatibility branch" for now, but these levels will be deleted in the near future as we get closer to release. This may happen again before release, I apologize for the inconvenience.
What's Expected in the next update?

Multi Object Selecting and Editing
More Background Themes
Piston editing variables
Improved Multiplayer Syncing
Improved Workshop Support (Level Tags? Publishing/Downloading Grouped Objects?)
Reintroduce the programmable seat object
Particle Emitter
Perhaps demo of first story level/campaign? (Might be moved to next update)
To follow this game more closely, keep an eye out for the game's Trello page where I am keeping a consistent feed of new bugs fixed and improvements/features added in each version.
