Optional Beta v0.22035 - New Freeplay Map, Marker Changes

We’ve updated the currently-running optional beta including a new freeplay map! - this will only affect you if you're participating in said currently-running optional beta, detailed in this post.

New Features
  • New freeplay map - Basin (This map is designed around a 2v2 match)
    • If you have a single ally, you will start in the same area and have quick access to each other's nests
    • This map also has destructible barriers at the top and bottom of the map which when destroyed open up new routes of attack (make sure the map option is on)
  • Allied starting locations have been implemented on all freeplay maps (if possible allies in groups of two will be put next to one another)
  • Towhead has had ramps added near each players nest, reducing both distance to landmarks and chance of being trapped by an enemy
Changes
  • Markers rework
    • Ants will now all immediately leave the nest
    • In order to create trails some ant will turn around on their way to the destination and start coming home early
    • This video explains the changes:

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a crash that would occur on “the other foot” level when creatures got close to bridge edges (after the formicariums are connected)
