Hey everyone!
Since the last update, we've been hard at work making improvements to the tile and layer system. We've also added the ability to change the color and opacity of the grid overlay that was added in last week's devlog. We've also added new episodes to our ongoing GME video tutorial.
These changes are NOT implemented yet!!! This is a log of our development process and the features are not available as of yet. They are, however, planned to be released in upcoming updates. Please also keep in mind that everything on this list is extremely early in development and may not reflect what may be released in any official future update.
New Tile System:
We've been working on a system that will allow you to add tiles to already existing maps. This system will allow players to spawn tiles individually instead of being limited to the grid size they set when creating their map. This will also allow players to stack tiles on top of each other! Eventually, we hope to evolve this into the ability to hide individual layers from players. These changes should automatically apply to maps made before the update but please keep in mind we are still testing things to make sure they don't break anything before we make any official promises.
Grid Color:
We've also been expanding upon the grid system that we added last week. You can now choose the color of your grid using a color wheel!
Grid Opacity:
You can also set a custom opacity for the grid.
Tutorials:
Finally, we have released the next three episodes of our video tutorial. These videos cover walls, water, effects, weather, tokens, and minis. Check out the links below, and don't forget to check out our previous episodes that cover basic controls, props, tiles, and layers.
