Seriously considering jelly-creatures...



Also removing the black from the background of levels has been implemented.

Maps for W:A are already PNG format, just with color limits. So for simplicity a checkbox to convert black to alpha would be simplest for the user, to avoid false-positives. Saving a copy in the user directory is definitely something that could be done.

I've not personally messed with doing IndiMask maps, so I'm not sure what the format is. Damage resistant terrain is something I'd like to do but probably wont happen for a while.
Also, of course other map editing features such as object pre-placement will come in time too!

This is how easy it is to import any png file and use it as a level! (Though you probably want to add some transparency to your image, lol) Just added today.

Public release v0.1.34!

Edit: Mac and Linux builds!

Alpha release version 0.1.22 available tomorrow!
Almost had it done today but not quite!

Implementing a bitmap system paid off! First successful multiplayer game. Played with 3 separate people.



EDIT: Expect a public build once I fix game-breaking and application-restart-required bugs! Hype!

Big breakthrough, but it comes with some pretty bad news.

Good: My networking code is solid and more or less done.
Bad: To fix multiplayer desyncs I have to replace the entire physics system. The methods I went about doing physics I thought would be safe, were in fact not, due to the way Unity handles colliders behind the scenes. This means possibly weeks of work (and some paid assets) will have to be replaced and I'll have to set up my own. This will take some time.
More Good: A few performance and custom physics issues I have been getting will be completely swapped out with my own (hopefully lots faster) bitmap collision system. Still need to do some performance testing to see if this is viable or not.
