Super Switch Headz Podcast

[p]Mark was fortunate enough to appear on the latest episode of Super Switch Headz talking all things Axyz and spiritual successors. Find the episode on your podcast platform of choice, or watch on YouTube![/p][p][/p][p]Marcus Horn of Siactro (Toree Saturn) & Mark Robinson from Space Lion Studios (Axyz) join this week for an indie developer roundtable discussing the phenomenon of indie games that borrow aesthetic and gameplay from popular games of the past. Why is it so prevalent and when does homage cross the line into plagiarism? We dive deep into the topic and talk about some of our favorite indie spiritual successor games! We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as the newest Pokemon leaks out of Nintendo, Elon Musk making an AI video game, the Pikmin "Close to You" short film from Nintendo Pictures, and much more. As always, we close with the games we’ve been playing. Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts.[/p]

Patch v1.0.9

[p]Hey folks! Been a hot minute but we come bearing a new patch. [/p][p][/p][p]The bulk of this update is in response to Unity's security alert announcement from October 3rd. For more details on this alert please take a look at the post put out by Director of Communication, Major Nelson. [/p][p]You can find that post here.[/p][p][/p][p]The key details of the post are the following: [/p][p]A security vulnerability was identified that affects games and applications built on Unity versions 2017.1 and later for Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. There is no evidence of any exploitation of the vulnerability, nor has there been any impact on users or customers. [/p][p][/p][p]As a result of this, we have followed Unity's instructions and made the required updates on our end. Simply update your build of Axyz to v1.0.9 and you're set to go![/p][p][/p][p]Other changes:[/p]
  • [p]Changed Heat Block material so contact will only light up that specific block.[/p]
  • [p]Adjusted the heat-up speed of the ball to be more forgiving when rolling around multiple faces of a block[/p]
