Features • The Mage’s Guild can now be visited on Glimmerglen (3-04). It’s filled with new quests, NPCs, and rewards. See the barber there for some fresh, new hairstyles! • Creative Mode has been updated with several much-requested features: o Islands can be quickly tested on the fly by pausing the game and selecting “Test Play Island”. o You can now place enemies! Note that they will only come to life when you select “Test Play Island”. o Lots of “logic” objects have been added to create puzzles and gameplay challenges for other players. These include buttons, pressure plates, traps, interactive doors and lights, a connection tool, and more. o To help show how the new logic objects work, we’ve created a special Steam Workshop island showcasing various behaviors. You can download the island here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756113825 • Quests can now be tracked across islands in the new Quest Log! Simply select which quests you want to track. • You can now set the multiplayer visibility of your game to PUBLIC! Selecting PUBLIC visibility means that non-friend players will be able to join your game. • To prevent island vandalism, game hosts can set permissions for friends and non-friends on their home, canvas, and creative islands. • You can find public games to join in the “Find Games” menu. • In the Find Games menu, each game’s connection quality is now displayed. • Character creation facial options have been expanded with freckles, wrinkles, and more. • The Ranger class has a powerful new skill – the “Explosive Shot”.

Changes • Durability has been removed from all weapons and tools. Armor sets with durability-related perks have been given different perks instead. • Gem dust recipes have been moved to the Workbench tiers (to make it easier for non-Mage players to craft skills). • The number of character slots has been increased. • Split-screen guests now select from the same character pool as the host. • Text on sign posts can be changed by the player. • Player chests now have a preview showing the item in their first slot. • The amount of gold lost when you die is now capped at 100. • It’s easier to level up through the first few player levels. • Portal shard drop rate has been increased. Portal shards and stones can now also be obtained from some quests as a reward. • Light sources can now be switched on and off by the player. • Added coal to Dusty Junction (1-02) so that class-specific armor and weapons can be crafted sooner. Only affects new or regenerated universes. • Moved a quest from Callum’s Claim (1-09) to Dusty Junction (1-02). This only affects new or regenerated universes. • Added “V-sync” to the display settings. • Lots of improvements to the UI, including an icon to show which texts are editable, better controls in the Creative Mode backpack, and more. • Improvements to visual effects when mining trees.
Fixes • Improved stability for islands with a high number of props (furniture, chests, etc.) • Fixed crashes that affected some users. • Fixed rare cases of saving errors that would cause islands to be saved incorrectly. • Improved multiplayer performance. • Improved camera movement, especially for the automatic camera. • Various minor bug fixes.
