So we have had a few major updates come out recently, and wanted to catch up on release notes for everyone to see. Firstly, we have todays client update which contains a number of fixes and improvements across the board:
Update v1.0.7887
Features
- Note: New blocks will be locked for a short time before they are fully available.
- New Block - Timed Trigger - able to trigger channels periodically on a timer
- New Block - Proximity Trigger - able to trigger a channel just by having a player walk into the area without anything visible
- New Weapon - D357-RUC-701D - A special rocket launcher for the Desctructoid giveaway (win an Xbox One console + copy of Gunscape!)

Fixes
- Fixed Enemy AI being less responsive than they should be
- Fixed some typos with music names
- Fixed player shadows not updating correctly
- Fixing blocks not saving properly in the Editor when going in/out of test mode

Improvements
- Added checks to instantly trigger a block if it was activated while a player is standing on it (e.g. standing on a disabled trap door, then it gets activated. Before it would not trigger until the player moved off and then back on to the trap door, now it will trigger immediately)
