General - Fix for some keys mapped to multiple things in the character designer.
General - Fix for two statues unlocking the same design.
DirectX - Fix for crash when saving thumbnail of character design (attempt to render from system memory).

These fixes also means that Youropa should be running on Steam Deck without issues! If you do hit any issues on Steam Deck, be sure to let me know!

Super Youropa Update

I'm happy to finally bring you a new update, packed with features, tweaks, fixes and changes. It's the biggest update ever, with lots of cool improvements. Let's take a quick look...

Create mode lets you build a level while playing it. And you can share it on Steam Workshop directly inside the game.

What's new?

Create mode - Build levels while playing them, including a full tutorial.
Share - Built-in sharing makes it easy to show your friends the levels and characters you've designed.
Improved character designer - More options and easier to use.
Paintable statues - Find and paint statues to unlock unique character skins.
More levels - A new hidden area to find.
Challenge mode - A new mode to unlock.
Hundreds of smaller bug fixes and adjustments - Everything from optimizations to coyote time and crash fixes.
Adjustable Refresh Rate (beta) - Select the framerate that fits your monitor.
OpenGL renderer (beta) - Might make the game run better on some machines. OpenGL is now the default renderer, add "-driver directx9" to the command line to force the D3D9 renderer.
DirectInput (beta) - Support for more controllers.
Adjustable Physics Update Rate (experimental) - Select the physics update rate.

Sharing a character design from the updated character designer.

Bugs?
If you find a bug (very likely) let me know, so I have a chance to fix it. As always, it's easiest if you drop an email at [email protected]. I read every email sent, but I might not have time to reply to all of them.
It would be super nice to hear how it plays with mouse and keyboard, and whether it runs well on Steam Deck, or somethings need to be fixed.
If you have been creating levels in the original editor, there might be some issues carrying that over to the new Creator mode. If you encounter any problems please send me an email, and I'll help you out.

Painting a statue unlocks special character designs. Can you find them all?

Switch!

Youropa was just released for Nintendo Switch. If you'd like to support me, why not get that version too? https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/youropa-switch/
Until next time, take care & have fun!

Creator Mode - Preview
We've finally gotten to a point where we'd like you to take the Creator Mode (name is not final) for a spin. If you'd like to try it out, do this: Join the preview Right click on Youropa in Steam Select "Properties" Go to the "BETAS" tab Select "Beta - " from the dropdown Steam m
We've finally gotten to a point where we'd like you to take the Creator Mode (name is not final) for a spin. If you'd like to try it out, do this:
Join the preview
Right click on Youropa in Steam
Select "Properties"
Go to the "BETAS" tab
Select "Beta - " from the dropdown
Steam may need to restart before it downloads the beta version, depending on your settings.
Once you're in the game go to "Create" mode, and either make a new level or load one you already made. Hit "C" on the keyboard or "LB/L1" on the controller to enter Creator Mode. The rest has onscreen display to help you out.
Work In Progress!!!
Slowly we hope Creator Mode will be able to replace the editor completely, but for now there are a number of things that it doesn't do. Here's a quick list of things you should be aware of:
- No auto saving!!! you need to open the editor, select a block and move it for the level to be saved. Auto-saving in Creator Mode is top of the list for the next version.
- No undo!!!
- No styling!!! to adjust time of day, weather etc. you still need to do it from the editor.
- No editing of wires or patrol paths go to the editor to edit those.
- Some objects change rotation etc. when being created the preview of what you're about to make is not always accurate.
- UI WIP!!! the object selection is pretty confusing if you're new - we're working on making it much more accessible.
- The game is running while you're editing so watch out for enemies etc. This may change in the future.
- Overview going into overview while in creator mode can cause weird stuff .. we aim to make the overview navigate a little like the editor at a later stage, to make it easy to adjust things far from yourself.
- Unlock some objects won't become accessible until you've completed parts of the main game.
- Jetpack to let you get easily around there's a jetpack .. Hold "space" or "A" on controller to go up, the jetpack will let you hover in the air. Tap "space" or "A" to drop down.
Give us feedback!
Again please note that this is a preview and some things aren't working and almost everything else will change. But having said that we'd love to get your feedback, so let us know what you like and what you don't like - and be sure to post your cool creations and ideas, to help us make the game better.
We really hope you have fun with the preview!

The latest update which you can play right now contains a beta version of Level Sharing via Steam Workshop!
Try it out by playing a tiny adventure with 4 levels using this ID 569CBD27 - Just copy/paste it into the Share popup from the Main Menu.
And get creative and share your own adventures from the Create mode. Open the menu while having your map open by hitting "Esc" and select "Share [BETA]" to start sharing your own city. To share an individual level, hover over it and hit "0" (Zero) on the keyboard to start sharing.
You will need to accept the Steam Workshop agreement before you can access all the sharing features.
We will be smoothing out the experience and adding additional features over the coming weeks, so if there's something specific you'd like to see just let us know.
Here's a list of changes for this update:

Share - Added simple sharing interface for sharing levels and adventures (BETA)
TouchButton - Fix not triggering when landing on top without leaving trigger area
Soccer Ball - Fix sticking to feet when pulling away
Map Editor - Added settings for the map to adjust which powers You start with and how time of day is handled
Editor - Fix for Cassette counter not showing when quick opening Elements menu
Editor - Added animation to elements when placing them
Create Mode - Adjustments to file layouts and more in preparation for level sharing. If your levels break or have gone missing let us know.
Save Game - Separated save games for single player game and create mode in preparation for level sharing. If your save game breaks let us know.
Performance - Improved scene capturing performance by 33%
Performance - Reduced cloud rendering CPU cost by 45%
Options - Moved all options to separate save file
Editor Unlocks - Moved to separate save file
As there have been a good deal of internal restructuring to fully support level sharing, there may be things we have missed during internal testing.
If you find anything isn't working as expected let us know!
Have fun!

Update - July 4th

Time for the first post launch update!
We've been hard at work trying to resolve as many of the issues you've reported, as well as some we have noted from earlier rounds.
The biggest change in this update are camera tweaks which hopefully makes getting around Youropa a nicer experience. We've adjusted some settings, to make the camera a little softer in the way it follows the ground, and adjusted the way input is handled, so you can now tweak how direct your camera input is treated from the options menu. Overall it should help people who have experienced a bit of motion queasiness, and make for a smoother ride for all of you.
We've also tweaked map editing, so you can now connect logic across levels by linking wires on the map, and you can also delete wires and portal connections. For the wires, they will only use the "global input" from another level, if there is no "local input" attached to it on the level itself. Tell us if that doesn't make sense.
Here's a full list of changes to this update:
Resolution - Match desktop resolution on first run
Translations - Adjusted Norwegian translations
Translations - Fixed spelling mistake in "Camera Edge Prediction"
Paint / Powerup Platform - Fixed issue when entering platform while carrying an item (invalid state change during physics update)
Umbrella - Fixed collision model
Umbrella - Adjusted animation when carrying
Pogo Stick - Adjusted collision model
Pogo Stick - Adjusted animation when carrying
File Requester - Minimizes game when in full screen, and restores game after being closed
Achievements - Fix for "Loot Box" achievement cheat.
Physics/IK - Fix for NaN issue in soft IK
Wire - Added output
Controls - Mouse look input now matches joypad/keyboard input (Y inverted, so you may need to adjust your control settings)
Editor - Fix for text input not updating
Editor - Fix for switching wire style not updating visuals
Editor - Connecting wires on map also connects level logic. Only wires with no connections internally in the level will use the external input
Editor - Connections can now be deleted on the map
Editor - Fix for color picker closing menu / editor when pressing cancel
Camera - Fix for spin when entering vehicle
Camera - Smoother ground following
Camera - Adjustable input smoothing (missing translations for most languages) see Options/Camera
Camera - Allow overview to shift more
Camera - Minor adjustments during teleportation
Camera - Fix for jitter during transition to overview
Map - Fixed path to next objective not updating correctly when opening map
Map - Minor tutorial fix
Level - Smaller gap between pipe and platform in "Pipes"
Level - Moved bush to prevent you getting stuck in "TinyTower"
Level - More checkpoints on oil levels
Level - More checkpoints on vehicle levels
Secret news: We've started working on level sharing, so stay tuned for more news about that soon!
