Major Update 8.7 – Run Mode, UI Upgrades, Chopper Blocks + Munger Tribute 🐾

[p]David here 👋[/p][p]We just got back from running our very first big game booth in Canada at Game Con in Edmonton. It was an amazing event and met lots of cool people![/p][p]Even while on the road (and every single day for the past few weeks), I’ve been grinding hard on this update. You might’ve seen a few hotfixes along the way, but now it’s time for the full drop.[/p][p]This update is packed: Running with customizable keybinds, a full lighting overhaul, massively improved controller support (with glyphs for all major platforms), smarter controller targeting, redesigned tool and seed UIs, visible XP bars and ability indicators, new Chopper minigame block types, two new slime spawners, and dozens of key bug fixes and QoL upgrades across the game.[/p][p][/p][p](Thanks to everyone who voted in the Discord polls!)[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][h3]Munger passed on to spirit-mode a few days ago. We are very sad, but we know Munger is always with us![/h3][h2][/h2][h2]I love you Munger![/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Munger as a Puppy over 12 Years Ago! We bought her from a Farmer, and he cried when he dropped her off at my house, and gave $100 back to be kind. Munger outlived all her brothers and sisters by many years according to the farmer who we stayed in contact with, because he kept in contact with the people who bought the litter over the years.[/p][p][/p][p]Munger's Favorite Cow she tried to hide in the Bathroom[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Munger Snoozing in the Back Seat (Munger was a master at finding the most comfortable spots and body positions - It was always really funny to see her build a nest out of blankets or move pillows around, to be just right) (She also slept is the funniest positions)[/p][p][/p][p]Munger with my cow Lodka (when I tried homesteading for 3 years) (Munger would play with Rufus outside and run super fast full speed - probably the most physically fit time of her life)[/p][p][/p][p]Munger Walking in English Bay Vancouver (Munger loved the sand, water and beach - And even went surfing with strangers a few times riding their surf boards and paddle boards) (I would let her go off-leash on the beach and she would be impossible to catch, but would have tons of fun)[/p][p] [/p][p]Funny Munger (Waking up from a nap)[/p][p][/p][p]Everyone thought Munger was a male bulldog, so we kept taking photos to get a good angle and show she was a female in this photo.[/p][p][/p][p]Munger helping with Game-Dev[/p][p][/p][p]Morning Stretch Munger[/p][p][/p][h3]Thanks for your kind words and emotional support on discord! ♥️[/h3][p][/p][h2]💬 Join the Community 💬[/h2][p]
