0.7.0 Patch Notes
0.7.0 includes many fixes and improvements:
Sanctuary
- Upon completing World 1 the Lynx statue is now at the Story Tree to begin playing World 2 levels
- The Create Altar now allows you to place custom levels in the right-hand column to share them. Levels must first be completed once by the creator to prove they can be solved.
- The Create Altar now has a scrollbar for scrolling through your edited levels
- The Community Altar unlocks after level 15 in World 1
- Place one of the statues on the left-hand altar to find levels
- World statues will find levels in that world from all submissions
- The friends statue will show all levels shared by your Steam friends
- The Blueprint Reality logo statue will show levels highlighted by BPR, which will change on a weekly basis to highlight community levels
- For the first two weeks of the Fountain of Light Update, the highlighted levels will be the Blueprint Challenge Pack levels, which are no longer found at the Story Tree
- The Community Altar has a scrollbar for searching through long lists of levels, such as Friends’ levels
- Level crystals’ art updated and now show when completed
- Game credits can now be seen by picking up the Blueprint Reality object behind the player start location
- Trying to place a crystal into an invalid keyhole now rejects it with an effect
World 2
- World 2 puzzles are unlocked by completing World 1
- World 2 puzzles contain hot and cold elements that change the attributes of the ball or parts of the puzzle
Puzzle Elements
- You can now throw away the rail by grabbing the middle and tossing it away
Edit Mode
- Guardians will no longer appear in edit mode for either world
- Edited levels now show a number on the crystal that increments with each newly-created level to help differentiate them
- A lumen now correctly appears when you complete another players’ level or play your own custom level
General Improvements
- Significant performance improvements throughout
- Fixed an issue where elements would sometimes disappear after being pulled off the shelf
- Fixed some issues where objects like elements and crystals would become stuck to your controller
- The starting island in the tutorial is now larger to minimize initial disorientation
Known Issues
- A puzzle element can rarely become ‘stuck’ to your controller. You can usually throw the puzzle element away or simply open and close the Steam interface in VR to detach it
