Update to v.1.5.1.2 - PUBLIC STAGE ! Updated!
Hello Village Elders!
Have you already missed the Public Stage? Well, we have a new update for it featuring some new additions, fixes, and plenty of upgrades.
New is the photo mode!
In a nutshell, you must be in the 3PV, then you can call up the photo mode. Here you can make settings just like on a camera. Rotate the camera, adjust the lens, brightness, saturation (black and white images!), exposure or colour effects. Have fun experimenting.
Also new are the QoL feature "Quick Build" and many new audio effects.
Now it's your turn!
