Android Build Update, Upcoming Features and Week-long Sale
We've got some exciting news to share about Android deployment, new features in the pipeline and a week-long sale too!
We've been doing some work behind the scenes in order to bring Android builds up-to-date. In the latest version (2019.003.004) we've increased the API Level to 28 and both 32-bit and 64-bit modules are now supported.
Something cool we want to highlight: We've made a change to Map Connections so that they now also position vehicles containing players!
Of course we've fixed a few bugs and made some minor tweaks too, as we often do, so make sure you check out our full change log on our website.
Our feature requests vote box has been a huge success and thanks to this we now have a better idea of what it is you'd like to see implemented into 001. Today, we'd like to announce some of the things we're working on that I think you'll be pretty pleased about:
IAP/Ads for Android/iOS
Easily one of our most requested features - the ability to add IAPs and Ads for Android and iOS games. Well, part of the reason why we updated the Android build is because of this! Now that our Android build is a lot more robust, implementing these features won't be nearly as difficult. While we can't give an exact date as to when this will be available, we can say that it's now one step closer to being added. Look forward to learning more about this in the near future!
Dark UI
Something else a lot of you seem interested in is a Dark UI for 001's main graphical user interface. We're still very much in the early stages of implementing this but here's a quick test we did a short while ago:
NOTE: This is not what the final Dark UI will look like - this was only a simple test to see if it was possible.
UNICODE Improvements
A few months back, we added UNICODE support to 001 however, while successful, it's still fairly bare bones - as there are parts of the editor that do not support UNICODE characters. We're going to be continuing our efforts for full UNICODE support in future updates, so please look forward to it!
Lastly, from now until November 1st we're running a week-long sale on 001 Game Creator and its various DLC Kits - with 001 being 70% off and ALL our DLC Kits being 30% off!
