From the team
Hello fellow Homebrewers, it has been a busy month and we are glad to reveal the next quick update,
let's take a look at the new stuff we've got to offer.
Tutorial Rework
the tutorial was pretty outdated and people struggled completing it, so it's about time we revamped the entire tutorial section of Homebrew.
for the in-game tutorial there were 3 main features we focused on
- the tutorial must be simple, and straight-forward
- the tutorial should be optional
- the tutorial should be re-playable at any time
So keeping these features in mind we went ahead and built a new structure next to the runway.
It's a cozy place where you can walk around and get to know the game at your own pace, or just chill out and take a break.
It contains a number of billboards that are easy to follow, they should get you started right away and teach you the first steps into the world of Homebrew.
Next up is the builder tutorial.
We've added 2 new buttons at the top right corner of your screen,
they should make the tutorial and documentation more accessible then before.
More tutorial videos are in the works, they will be focused on explaining individual parts and should fill the gaps nicely.
We know what you are thinking... "Only tutorial improvements! :C"
To keep this update a bit more interesting, we've also included a new engine which should fill the gap between the Falcon 6 and D22 twister.
Give it up for... the "Dutser B6" !
This little 130KG engine has some serious power, with 280Nm at redline (7000RPM) and a whopping 300Nm heap from 2000 RPM to 4000 RPM
Great for motorcycles and light weight sports cars.
Next up is a new logic block, the "Electric Selector".
What does this do you ask?
Well, it's pretty simple.
It will let electricity run through one of its multiple outputs based on the number you give it
So give it a 0 and the electricity will run through the first output,
a 1 will make it run through the secondary output,
a 2 will go through the third, and so on.
And just when you think you are all out of presents, here are 2 more!
Yup that's right, you'l be able to enjoy wooden propellers and the new black type propeller, they have wider chords then the default propeller, thus providing more force with less blades.
Alright, that pretty much rounds it up for this patch, lets end with a list of additional bug-fixes and changes
Bug fixes and general changes
- Added admin controls for general chat
- Double jump not resetting properly
- RGB Inputs on lights not being capped correctly
- Server-related issues which would result in a memory leak
- Pickup-vehicles not re-spawning after they've been spawned before
- Nene and Ramjet continuously playing sound even when turned off
- Enter not opening chat after some menu management
- Builder measuring tool colors have been changed for additional visibility.
- Adjustable nodes and line colors have been changed for additional visibility.
- Buoyancy is now a LOT more optimized!
What if I have a problem?
To ensure that no issue is overseen we'll be monitoring steam, DISCORD and our other channels even more over the course of the following days. In the unfortunate event that you encounter a bug please follow these steps so that we can release a patch ASAP:
- See if you can replicate the bug
- Be as specific as possible about the issue, the more information the better. Preferably attach your output_log.txt file which can be located in: installed directory / HB146_Data folder (right click on Homebrew in your game library, select properties and then browse local files)
- Notify us on Steam or Discord (faster response time)
And lastly,
DREAM - BUILD - ENJOY
