I've been hard at work these past two and a half weeks building two features I really like. I like them so much in that I thought them worthy of an announcement!
First up, the colour picker:
With this feature you can quite literally modify every colour aspect of the game. One of the advantages of keeping true to single-colour wire-frame graphics is that awesome customisation options like this one can be created.
Not only that, but if you hit the export button, it generates a code that you can paste in a forum, or a chat or on the Community Hub and share your creations with the world. Here is an example.

Furthermore you can just select and copy that code, then go back into the game and press the Import button. Presto now you are using someone else's colour scheme.
I can't wait to see what you guys make. If you're having trouble using the import/export I recommend checking out the release notes here which contain gifs showing how to use the feature.
Up next, Player Stats
This is a pretty low impact feature but it did take some code tickling under the hood and it is a prerequisite for Steam Achievements. Can't give stuff I you can't track stuff.
Sadly, they don't do much right now... Apart from display themselves... But you can take a screenshot and post it in the community hub to show how much you die.
Vecter is heading to EGX Rezzed 2020
That's right everyone I'll be there to meet you all and hopefully get some more people to try out my little baby. I do recommend you come by and say hi even if you have been playing Vecter because:
a) It's nice to say hello :)
b) I'm not coming to demo it on a regular PC, I'll be there with the Vecter Arcade Machine
And, depending how much time i'll have to prepare, the arcade machine will have a special leaderboard attached to it that will only be available for the 3-day period during EGX and will only be accessible from that Arcade Machine.
One of us! One of us!
Okay that's it from me, I'm out catch you later! bye bye! Happy holidays! See ya!
