Build 151104 - Content Update #4

(one of our artists is missing, therefore I had to improvise with the header image)

Hi everybody! Content Update Number 4 is here with good and not so good news.

First off the good news:

Yet again, it's only been two weeks since our last Content Update and we tried to push as much as possible.

We added another two bonus levels (canyon single- and multiplayer WIP) to the game and the second ones were made beautiful by our art department.

The not so good news is, that we have to switch to the latest version of our engine Unity due to porting problems for XBOX One (yes, the game will one day also be on Xbox One, yay) BUT
this means that we will have to lightbake all of our levels again!
Lightbaking is a really time intensive process therefore we will not be able to keep up our 2-week-update-schedule.
That said I can't exactly tell you when the next update will be, but I can assure you we are still working on everything and I will at least try to keep you up-to-date via announcements.

We also disabled the halloween feature a little bit earlier than the 7th because of some tech-difficulties. We still hope you had a little fun with it!
So let's go with today's Update!

CONTENT

Our art and level design gang have been working on... wait for it... levels (what a surprise!):

Singleplayer:

  • Following levels now have graphics: Forest bonus level, Canyon1-3
  • New Work in Progress Levels: Canyon4-6, Canyon Bonus level

Multiplayer:

  • Following levels now have graphics: Forest bonus level, Canyon9
  • New Work in Progress Levels: Canyon Bonus Level

FIXES

Coders coded code. A lot.

General:

  • Fixed Button misplacement
  • Fixed a bug where characters sometimes were the same size at the start of a level (except for the 2 first multiplayer levels)
  • Fixed a missing material for the "loading" icon in the mode selection (it was just pink)

Online Multiplayer:

  • Fixed other Player sometimes lookin in the wrong direction

Remember that you can always check out what's planned for the future of Shift Happens here!

As always, feedback is highly appreciated! Hope you feel the game is getting better :)
Cheers!
