GearBlocks Demo 0.7.8145

Hi all, another minor demo update is out now with some small usability improvements and visual changes to the in-game maps.



Release notes:-

• Minor usability improvements:-
  
  • Builder tool actions (unfreeze, duplicate part, and delete part) now work even when targeting a manipulator handle.
    
  • Unfrozen (individual) parts can now be directly deleted, without having to freeze them first.
    
  • Move manipulator part resizing now works even when "transform" and "resize" actions are bound to the same keys.
    
  • When no tool is active, the targeted part is only highlighted if it has an activatable or tweakable behaviour.
    
• Improvements to the "desert proving ground" map:-
  
  • Implemented height based texture blending in the terrain shaders.
    
  • Replaced terrain textures.
    
  • Added grass and trees.
    
  • Implemented a rudimentary "weather" system that adjusts the sky between clear and cloudy.
    
  • Improved atmospheric scattering to better visually blend between the terrain, distant terrain, and sky.
    
• Improvements to the "flat plane" map:-
  
  • Expanded its size to 8x8km.
    
  • Replaced floor texture.
    
  • Replaced sky with an environment cube map.
    
• Raised boundary height to 2 km in all maps.
  
• Bug fixes.
  
• Upgraded to Unity 2019.4.38.
