Update: Level Editor Character Animations! + Bug fixes!

Hello humans!

We've been building a lot of cool tools for Chapter 5!
While we work on the chapter, we thought it would be fun to share them with you in a little update.


Manual Character Animations: Animate limbs!
While you could already play existing animations on characters, now you can go a step further and make granular adjustments to a character's pose directly inside the Level Editor!



This is great for cinematic moments (we're using it for Chapter 5) as well as creating new and interesting attack / movement patterns for the enemies of the game, specific to your level.




Animation Tutorial!
So how do you make crazy new animations? We made a tutorial! :D

Other cool Level Editor Features

[h2]Animation Folders[/h2]Now you can organize all your animation tracks in handy folders! This is great for big and complex animations.

[h2]Use Key Triggers[/h2]Ever wanted to make the players of your level press a button? Now you can.

[h2]AITriggerArea now lives in the Triggers folder![/h2]This might seem like a minor change to highlight, but this confused a lot of people!
If you want to triggers things when the player walks into an area, use the AITriggerArea.

Bug Fixes

We fixed a number of bugs with this release:
  • Exploit in LBS: You can no longer get both Armor and Sword.
  • Twitch Notifications in the game are back! You can now see when both developers and other streamers are live.
  • Fixed a terrible crash bug happening to people in Story Mode.
  • ...and many other small things.



That's it for this update. Let us know if you make a super cool animation with the new tools! :D
