Alongside the sale, we've also updated 001 Game Creator with a bunch of awesome additions and bug fixes. Here are some of the highlights and, as always, you can see the full change log here: http://www.engine001.com/changes.htm
Tooltips
It took a while but we've finally added tooltips to all major windows and their respective sub-windows in 001! Our Help Wiki will always have the most detailed explanations but these tooltips should provide users (particularly newcomers) with some much needed help in understanding what all of these options/controls actually do.
Engine Performance Stuttering Resolved
This crucial fix has resulted in improved smoothness in higher framerate games and has consequently improved the accuracy of Spawns/Timers!
Fixed Framerate / Time Stepping
A new option inside the Game Settings window which allows game timing to be more predictable, resulting in more consistent gameplay regardless of game performance. Essentially, this tells your game that the FPS is always whatever you've set so if there's a hiccup, it'll run the game X number of times until it's caught up. This should help to resolve collision detection issues (Actors falling through floors, doors, walls, etc. when they're not supposed to)
PLEASE NOTE: If your game already suffers from performance issues, then this setting may make things worse! It's also advised that the "Minimum Framerate" option is set to nothing lower than 30.
