Update #16 - Playground
Detailed Patch Notes
- Playground world added. Playground bridges the skill gap between Tutorial and School, providing a more free form and accessible experience to new players. One trial, one course, and card collections are available in this patch, 5 additional courses and several trials will be released over time
- Added sticker sheet trade-in. Collect full sets of stickers and earn special rare rewards
- Added readable comic art for School, Wholesale and (partially)
Playground. These are earned by finding the six hidden comic pages in each world - Increased player ground acceleration speed from 1 second to 0.8 seconds
- Many equipped items now show in first person
- Preserve character rotation interpolation for smoother rotations at frame rates above 60 fps
- Added two rare followers earned through the sticker sheet system, Rusty and Pinny
- Added new Vertical Spinnable climbable object type. This object is similar to the vertical pipe climbs in school, but you can spin around it horizontally like a fire pole
- Added texture streaming support. It should now be easier to play on higher quality settings
- Fixed surf bug where players would sometimes not move the direction they’re facing when jumping from a surf object
- Fixed surf bug where players could stack speed indefinitely by jumping.
