Hey all the new beta branch for Escape This: Neon is live.

To access the build of the game the code is 'escapethis12345'

How to gain access to the build:

Step 1: Make sure the old install of the game is removed. Or that you have removed the Maps folder.
Step 2: Right click on the game and go to properties.
Step 3: Click on the Betas tab and then enter 'escapethis12345' in the textfield.
Step 4: Click the 'Check Code' button and then select the new beta build from the drop down. After doing all of that and selecting the build in the drop down the new beta build of Escape This should start downloading.
Please note that none of the old maps will work for the beta build.

I will be adding on screen hints to help you with controls and what not but for now i will explain what does what.

Movement:

W,A,S,D Keys will move your player.
Arrow Keys will rotate the camera and controls.

Making your own maps:

Your map needs atleast 3 things in order for it to be playable.

The first thing you need is a ground for the player to stand on. Second you will need the player its self and third you will need your exit point. Its all pretty self explained at this point but in the final product i will be adding tutorials to the game and what not.

If you would like to share your maps you may upload the text/map file to our forums.

Gameplay:

Currently there are 2 event blocks. Event blocks are blocks on the map that fire off an action. The two current event blocks are...
Death Block(Kills you on contact)
Inverted Gravity Block(This is pretty much like a ladder holding a direction key well up next to this block will move you up)

This is a very early build of the beta branch so i do expect alot of errors. However i want you guys to see the progress i make. I will try to update the branch 1-2 times a week.

Thanks.
