Over 100 Dungeons Uploaded in the First Week! + Springs, Bumpers and Checkpoints

Let's celebrate, Quest Masters! We have gotten over 100 dungeons uploaded in the first week of the demo launch! As of right now, we actually already have 148, so the number is growing blazingly fast, and I can't wait for it to grow even stronger!

The game has been through 74 new builds within the last week, from 0.6.169 to 0.6.234, the most up-to-date version!

Let's look at some of the exciting new dungeon parts we have rolled out into the demo as a sneak peek!

Springs

The spring makes objects jump up high into the air that touch it. Use it in combination with enemies to create interesting combat encounters, mine carts to have jumping sections, or just as a tricky platform parkour. Springs interact with most of the objects that exist in the game, so feel free to experiment around and take inspiration by what people have already created using this new dungeon part!

Bumpers

Similiar to the spring, the bumper bumps away most of the objects in the game! The work super well in tandem with the springs for creating challenging parkour sections for example.

Checkpoints

The new checkpoint dungeon part allows you to have players respawn at customizable positions, resetting the dungeon to the state it was in when they touched the checkpoint. Make sure to make use of them in long dungeons if you want to minimize player frustration! Maybe you even find interesting other use-cases for them?
