Hello Gamecrafters!
The Blueprints update is live right now! This is a major update which provides greater collaboration opportunities between engineers, artists and game makers. Creators can create blueprints, which are a group of blocks selected by a creator, for example a building, a vehicle or even an enemy type. This will make building 50x faster as you can select from a wide pool of blueprints very quickly!
These can be assigned to blueprint sets that can then be shared with everyone online via Steam Workshop. You can comment, like and subscribe to each blueprint set and we anticipate that there will be hundreds of blueprints for you to download soon.
We’ve created a few blueprint sets for you to download and use in your games and they can be downloaded right now!
You can UPLOAD your own blueprints too! So over the coming weeks we’re looking forward to seeing what you create and share. We’ll also be selecting a few of these blueprints to be featured over the coming weeks and if you’re featured you’ll win a special Gamecraft T-shirt!
So get sharing your beautiful art, your incredible contraptions and your awesome games right now!
FOG AND SKY BLOCKS
We’ve added new blocks to give you more choice for atmosphere when creating your games. You can create a bright and colorful platformer, or maybe even a foggy intense first person shooter
Ongoing Optimizations
The optimizations this time mainly focus on static cubes. Larger levels that have a lot of static scenery and objects should have some very noticeable performance increases.
On top of that we're also targeting our minimum spec machines. The Fastest quality setting now has resolution downsampling, and we've got some further optimizations to Havok that should really increase framerate on less powerful machines.
