One more maybe-final update for the 1.2 era! Thanks to much playtesting at the MassDiGI Game Challenge, we were able to find some and squash some bugs, make some minor optimizations, fix a level layout, add a new "Lighting Effects" option, and more. Possibly the most exciting addition, though, is the new "Backup Data" option! Clicking this option (under System) will make a copy of your "mondriansettings" file and place it in your User folder. Clicking "Restore Data" will restore the most recent backup. A backup is also created any time you exit the game. This way, you can copy your progress over to other machines, or restore your lost progress in case it disappears in an update! We've got you covered. This feature will eventually be Steam Cloud compatible, but at the moment, it is only local.
Our goal now is to begin focusing on new content for 1.3, so expect updates to slow down for a month, maybe a month and a half. We are currently looking for ways to bring Mondrian to PAX East, which means you can expect 1.3 to launch around the same time.
Features:
- Added Achievement Unlock check to every screen
- Added Backup Data under Gameplay Options. This will manually create backup a copy of your game data in your User directory
- Added Restore Data under Gameplay Options. This will replace your settings file with the backup copy in your User directory
- Added Automatic Backup Data toggle. This will automatically create a backup copy of your game data in your User directory whenever you exit the game
