Zeepkist News

I know I said I was going to work on Zeepkist 2D and then sound, but I suddenly had a tingle of inspiration and decided to add Undo and Redo to the level editor instead!

Zeepkist v15!!

And that's it!
You can now Undo and Redo in the level editor!

It saves your history while testing, so you can test, go back, and still undo and redo to your hearts delight!

There's also no hard undo limit, I suppose it's possible to reach C#'s max List length but no idea, if there is such a limit it should be pretty huge :)




New Stuff
- Undo and Redo functions in the level editor
- Two new character colors, unlocked by default
- New players randomly get one of the default zeepkists assigned, instead of having the blue default zeepkist by default




That's all for now folks!!

The plan from the previous update still applies haha, do some more Zeepkist 2D stuff, sound update, then bump price :)

Happy Zeepkisting and enjoy the new update!!

[h3]THEME: Canyons[/h3]

• Build a level that has players racing around, through or in a canyon
  

[h3]DEADLINE[/h3]

• Your track should be complete and submitted by Saturday, 8th April 2023 at 18:00 UTC+1
• Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above
  

[h3]SUBMISSION RULES[/h3]

1. You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
   
2. Level collaborations are permitted (this counts as a level submission for each individual creator)
   
3. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
   

[h3]LEVEL RULES[/h3]

1. Scaling track pieces is permitted
   
2. Level MUST have an author time under 1 minute 30 seconds (between 30sec to 1min preferred)
   
3. Level MUST have at least 1 checkpoint. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
   
4. Level MUST meet any additional requirements set in the level contest's theme
   
5. Level MUST NOT have hidden finishes or hidden shortcuts (e.g using no-collision or invisible blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)
   

[h3]HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LEVEL[/h3]

1. Join our Official Discord server
2. Upload the level to the Steam Workshop
   
3. Link the workshop item in the theme's thread in #level-submissions

The leaderboards in all 2-3 rooms will be tracked and will be combined into a single overall leaderboard post-event on our Discord server!

You can checkout all 58 level submissions on the Steam Workshop!

Top 3 with the most championship points will receive a special racing helmet IN-GAME, a Discord role and 3,000 chat EXP in our Discord server!
