Latest Patch 1.2.0
First of all, I’d like to let you know that Patch 1.2 has just landed!
It finally brings several new features to the game requested by the community. These additions should give you even more tools to build awesome new creations.
Here are the patch notes:
New animal swarm: Fireflies
New water preset: Winter Lake
New display base material: White Marble
New display base material: Gray Marble
New display base material: Brown Marble
New display base material: Green Marble
Improved screenshot quality: The game now forces a higher source resolution. Screenshots may take a bit longer to capture, but the quality is noticeably better.
Optimized butterflies and moths: Improved shadow performance.
Adjusted save success sound: The save confirmation effect has been softened and should now be less annoying.
Removed autosave success sound: Autosave no longer plays a confirmation audio cue.
Outside the Blocks & Umami
Another piece of news: there is now a new bundle where Outside the Blocks teams up with the cozy and charming game UMAMI!
