| Multiple Room Update v0.90 out now! | 2023-04-21 | Hey all, We're excited to bring you a very special feature update! This time around we're adding multiple unique rooms per level! This allows makers to add up to 15 rooms to a level, and connect them together with room warps. This should greatly open up the limits of what's possible to put into a single level! You can access rooms at the bottom of the Level Info tab. To go with the rooms feature, we're also adding a new Keycard object, which is a collectible that persists between saves. This should make it easier to save progress/state between different rooms. This update also adds persistent saves when playing levels, which gives the ability |
