Angeldust News

Here's the list of changes in Angeldust v2.14:


A feature that 99,9% of the community was asking for: an improved combat system to replace Angeldust's old click fiesta. Hold the left mouse button, right trigger or tap-and-hold on a touchscreen to keep attacking:



The new combat system repeats in a 3-burst pattern. You can still spam attacks like before when the going gets tough. Some players have already created a new 'short burst' clicking style. Just see what tickles your fancy.


Ever found yourself unable to talk to another player because you didn't speak the same language? Introducing: quick messages! Pick a line and Angeldust translates it for all players near you. Be a polyglot:



Open the quick messages menu like you would flourish before. On a keyboard, you can use the shortcut numbers to quickly select a line. Double tap the quick messages key or button to flourish like before.


The Angeldust game server will now send out notifications if a player has telecharged towards you. This makes playing together more fun since you know when people join you:




Last – but certainly not least – is a new feature to help out new and existing players. The shovel in the hotbar will now glow and give off sparks when unlockable new materials are nearby:

• Improved 'play together' matchmaking
  
• Improved user interface
  
• Improved game controller support
  

Here's the list of changes in Angeldust v2.13:


About 99,9% of the community asked for furniture ːsteamhappyː! Angeldust v2.13 brings tables and chairs that can be used in a variety of ways. Connect 'em, stack 'em, combine 'em, love 'em:



Angeldust chairs are smarter than you think. On their own, they are stools; near a table they become chairs; near a column block they morph into bar stools. Stack 'em for decorative frames and more:



There's a wide variety of tables and chairs. With over fifty new blocks, there's something for everyone. Ranging from bamboo to dark wood, you'll certainly find furniture fitting for every build:




A very vocal minority asked for an 'invert Y' menu option. Here it is. No one is left behind:




Speaking of leaving no one behind – the 'play together' (random group) feature in the telecharger now works better than ever and will always try to drop you in a group of players. If no group is around (yet), just wait a bit and others will join you. You're never alone.

• Added two table and two chair blocks to 'build alone' game mode
  
• Always revert cinematic mode to 'off' on startup
  
• Improved game controller support
  

It's been a crazy start of 2017 with four major updates to Angeldust in a single month. The Angeldust update train will keep thundering on, bringing exciting new features quicker than a certain blue hedgehog in his best days.


One big community request has been to add table blocks to Angeldust. Those are coming in the next update, Angeldust v2.13! A plethora of table materials will be at your disposal:




Simply bringing table blocks to the – erm – table wasn't quite good enough for Firefly, our lead developer. And so tables can be stacked, combined and used for building a table tennis table, storage shelves and display cases (amongst other uses):




What good is a phone call if you can not speak table without chairs? That's why the next update will also bring a cool assortment of chairs (appearance subject to change):



There are rumors of these chairs having special, secret properties. We believe those rumors. Because we spread them.


With dozens of new blocks, we hope you have fun decorating your creations once the next update lands. We're already looking forward to seeing your screenshots roll in on the community hub!

It's an exciting time to discover and play Angeldust with all of the big changes of the past weeks. Keep the suggestions rolling in and we'll do our best to accommodate them as well as we can ːsteamhappyː !

Here's the list of changes in Angeldust v2.12:


To get new players up to speed with the in-game controls, hints will now pop up to explain the basic controls. Previously this feature was implemented only for touchscreens, now it's there for keyboard and mouse and game controllers as well:




The entire game engine is rewritten to use UTF-8 text encoding throughout. Sounds technical, but it means that you can now type using the Cyrillic and Greek alphabets and use many more characters in chat messages and player names:






An initial translation of the game and website into Russian has been added. If you are interested in helping improve the quality of the translation, hop over to the new Russian Angeldust forum:

• Improved keyboard input handling for different keyboard layouts
  
• Improved text rendering
  
• Improved game controller support
  

Another week, another update. Here's the list of changes in Angeldust v2.11:


Angeldust v2.11 brings pathways with signposts and lanterns to the game world near the village so new heroes don't get lost anymore. All signs point 'inland' – into the game world:



If you have claimed land near the village, you'll probably need to remove some of the new signposts. Have fun shoveling ːsteamhappyː!


The 'play together in a random group' feature now drops players on a pathway. Players will need to actively go against the arrows to lose their way. Let's hope this solves the issue of players only encountering birds in a forest.


Panel blocks next to column blocks will now snap together:



You can use this new building mechanic to create gapless fences, windows, sunrooms, jails and so on. There's probably dozens of building ideas that have yet to be explored:




Claimable land is reduced in price! Just 2.000 coins per 32x32 square! Current players have been refunded the coin difference.

• Tweaked creature spawning diversity
  
• Balanced 'arctic wastes' area difficulty level
  
• Major Android stability fixes
  
• Minor text fixes
