Very quick update - a longer one will follow in the very near future with more info/details.

I just uploaded a new build - it has the majority of the new mission/story content (extending the game by at least an hour). To ensure you get the proper game play experience - reload a save game prior to entering the last gate.

This weekend I will be working on some of this content, though in mostly minor fixes and tweaks (the same goes for all other story/mission content and game play elements as we go through Early Access to Release) - I uploaded it now (while there eare still tweaks to do) because I'm greatly looking forward to your feedback on it (and it has a bunch of bug fixes). Along with tweaking the main story/mission game - I'll be adding at least two instant action scenarios that will feature the backstory of something you get during the new story content :)

thanks!

Voting and new blocks!

You can now vote on what you think we should add (click on the voting option from the main menu of the game). We will update and adjust the list over time- please let us know on the forums what you'd like to see!

Community driven features

• New players permissions default to off. Press ENTER to ask the host for edit permissions
  
• Reminder: Hosts can give edit permissions through the 'Z' social menu
  
• Voting is in- you can get to it from the main or pause menu
  
• Fireflies are back at night, and the desert has heat shimmer again
  
• New Glass Block you can craft out of 5 glass panes
  
• New skylights in each set (you can learn them from uncommon scrolls)
  
• New Highborn and Desert chandelier (you can learn them from rare scrolls)
  
• Added inner corner connections to the Desert and Highborn Shingles and Roof

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a crash preventing people from joining a multiplayer game
  
• More performance improvements
  
• Fixed flicker of grass on some blocks
  
• Added in some logging to track down the invisible-chunk crash

We are preparing for PAX East right now and the following changes are being made:

- Level Selection Screen for quick level changing. Since people at PAX will have different skill levels, I'm implementing a level selection screen that gives people easy access to switch from the Tutorial to the hardest level available at the time.

- Zero fade. Right now there is no fading between levels so someone only seeing the game for a little amount of time will be able to see/play as much as possible.

- Helpful Menu Text in the Bedroom

- Beginning of Steam SDK for Achievements and Leaderboards

- Xbox Controller Support

- Controller SDK Support for Xbox Controller, PS3, PS4

The full CC Build will have a lot more changes which will be coming later this week.

Less than five days to go until Sacrifice of the Vaal goes live! We've posted its official trailer here and a full summary of content here.

Hey ArkCoNauts!

We are thrilled to announce that you can now opt in to the new multiplayer first look, through a beta branch build on Steam!! This is to allow the players to help us track down the worst of the bugs, and be sure we have a good smooth build before we fully integrate it with the main build. Be aware, this build will be more buggy and will have things still feeling somewhat “under construction.” as we finish rounding it out. That being said, we’re excited to hear all of the feedback from the community as you get your first taste of the multiplayer experience!
