Floating Toros Update

10 Jun 2026Developer post

Floating toros

Toros can now float, allowing them to bypass various obstacles
Added to eliminate confusion with the old quirky invisible "run modifier" behavior
Shadows are rendered underneath
Floating reduces friction so toros can move quickly
Controls remain similar to running in previous versions
Mechanics have been adjusted to match the visual feedback: floating over region/color buttons does not press them, unfloating triggers buttons, portals, and goals.
Floating is completely undoable and redoable, but can smartly merge into directional moves to keep things smooth

Several new friendly protections have been added with associated messages.
Puzzle unsolve protection, enabled by default but can disable in menu
Overworld restart protection, since hold restart was removed
Future timeline protection, to prevent float/unfloat in the past from clearing your future moves

Toroban now runs natively on Mac OS (Apple Silicon)
This means that all Steam platforms are supported now: Windows, Linux, Mac, SteamOS

Fix sign achievement bug, wrong stats made it impossible to get the achievement!
Fix sign aspect ratios
Fix sign icon z-index, no longer hidden by anything
Fix mysterious-object logic to be the intended behavior
Show error dialog when failing to connect to Steam instead of silent failure

Multiplayer is still under development, but there have been many improvements made here, various puzzle soft-lock protections, friend restart protection, restart logic working correctly in multiplayer (undoable too), a new low-latency undo/redo consensus, and 2-4 player world content updates.
Latest rust, bevy, package versions
Demo timer (for showcases), benny test demo
Remove duplicate World inside RenderWorld, saves on memory and redundant code
Remove postcard, replace with internal Cereal framework (binary format with nested versions)
