Foundation Update LIVE

(For detailed change-log specs, plz see the Steam forums discussion here).

This update is focusing highly on starting the process of stabilizing the game as-is.

We tackled a lot of the "ease-of-life" issues that hadn't been addressed yet. That said, some of the "need to refactor large amounts of the codebase issues" (specifically lag teleporting and the replay system) have been pushed out to Foundation Update #2 since they're a much bigger issue than just changing something that we've already made in the past. (Read: those will be addressed very soon, but they're big enough changes that one of us will need to spend a whole update just on that and nothing else.)



We also added some much-needed options in the menu, including the ability to turn vsync off, turn mouse acceleration off, and invert your mouse controls if needed. Thanks for pointing those out to us. :)

MA is also now be compatible with all sizes of monitors instead of solely 16:9 as it was before. We know some of you guys have been really hoping for this to happen ASAP, so we made sure to prioritize it for your sake.



This update period we also spent a lot of time working on some things that aren't quite finished as of right now, but we're really excited about them so I wanted to mention them here too!

Besides a ton of general polish, revamped menus, HUD and UI - we've been working on getting Steam Workshop support implemented for the level editor (and another SECRET upcoming feature) and am happy to say that it's definitely going to be coming in the next update, barring nothing unexpected happening. This will allow all of you to upload levels (and other SECRET things) from inside MA to the workshop and subscribe to other people's content. These features are not far off from being testable. We'll be giving details on the User Creation Update #1 coming up in a couple weeks. Keep your eyes peeled.



That's what we have to share for the moment! Although this update was very needed on our end, I'm looking forward to the upcoming updates we have planned 'cause we have some really super cool stuff to share with you guys and I can't wait. :) Thanks to every one of you that are supporting this project. It means the world to both of us (but especially George).

Also, don't forget to get your Mom a gift. :)
