Greetings everyone!
Updates have been a bit slow, but here we are again at last! This version is all about fixing things and improving stability. We've made big improvements to co-op, object syncing and physics falling out of world, punching out and more.
Also, we shall be blogging next week on our general plans for VCD on Steam and almost certainly a progress report on the full version. For now, pics and changelog for v0.15 follow:
New punchout machine and interactive UI on the left, and fire from the lantern on the right.
Changelog:
- Added fire spawning from broken lanterns
- Fix for buckets showing water after being spilled
- Punchout UI is now on an interactive screen on the Punchout machine, which also has a proper mesh
- Mop cleans multiple nearby splats at once
- Removed shadow casting from machine hatches
- Fixed divide-by-zero causing glowing white water
- Tuned the muck detector, it's now much more usable
