Hey all, and happy Halloween! 👻
For the past month, I have been pushing out frequent updates to the Level Builder. These updates all contained new features, improvements, and fixes. I decided to intentionally roll out these features in frequent, smaller updates to iterate upon them and gather feedback quickly while keeping the Level Builder fresh and exciting!
Today, I'm releasing the final update of the month - Beta 1.4! That means all these features are all available on Steam right now! These four smaller updates together have contributed towards what I like to call the next major version of the Level Builder - version 2.0 - because there's so many features and improvements since the first public version released last month!
I've tried to prioritize adding the most useful and highly requested features. Check out this trailer showing most of the new features added in Beta 1.1 - Beta 1.4, the four Level Builder updates released throughout October 📅
Thank you all for the feedback and suggestions so far, it has been very helpful!
Enjoy, and happy building! ♥
