New game engine for Massive Invisible Update
Over the last 6 months Chip’s Challenge creator Chuck Sommerville has rebuilt from scratch the Chuck’s Challenge 3D game engine adding 100s of new improvements & features.
“With 1,000,000s of players creating 10,000s of levels, we’ve learnt a great deal over the last few years.” Chuck Sommerville said. “The Massive Invisible update as the name suggests is huge. It’s so big we even thought about calling it Chuck’s Challenge 4.”
The Massive Invisible update includes 100s of new features and improvements including:
Hints are now uploaded along with the user-generated levels, allowing players to watch in-game how the original creator completed the level.
Enhanced Graphics with updated models and new graphically effects that take advantages of the latest Unity 3D features making everything looks super smooth; including character animations and a new psychedelic undo effect.
Improved Controls Woop now understands his surrounding, helping players to get even better times by moving diagonally while also avoiding walls.
The below video from May explains further some of the new features that are included with Massive Invisible: http://youtu.be/HUibXJg5TPc
“Hints are my new favorite feature.” Chuck Sommerville said. “Chip’s Challenge was based on a 32x32 grid, whereas Chuck’s Challenge 3D allows a 100x100 board with even more Game Elements. So it’s thrilling to watch some of the complex levels and their solutions being created by the community. Some are truly epic.”
The Massive Invisible update for Chuck’s Challenge 3D is on Steam for PC, Mac & Linux:

That's the main done, now it must be time for pudding :cc3dwhoop:
Nearly time for pudding
From the creator of Chip's Challenge comes the latest update for Chuck’s Challenge 3D, which includes a loads of savoury snacks:
FEATURES
Mouse Menu Scrolling GUI - For mouse users, buttons will appear near the side of the screen when you move the mouse close to the edge.
5 Second Penalty - when you undo you'll get a 5 seconds added to your time now instead of 1. Plus there is a little animation.
Clone Machine Effect - objects that the clone machine will create now have a GFX.
Deep Links - you'll be able to create a web URL that not only opens Chuck's Challenge 3D in Steam, but it will also download & play a particular levelid.
BUGS
Hat Notification - this was being over active and so will now actually tell you when you have a new hat.
Hat Memory - the interface remembers what hat you were wearing.
Local & Server Levels - the game shouldn't get confused by these and local levels will be marked as 'local' in the levelid field.
Things that we are working on but are being more default then we thought:
Thumbnails - this one is just being mean as some old versions are over writing the new nice thumbnails, so we need a solution that gets the server and the game working together.
Game Logic & Undo - this is work in progress because it is huge.
Surprise - other fun stuff but it wouldn't be a surprise if we told you what it was :cc3dwhoop:
Lite bug bits for Snappy
We've just done a mini Steam update that's fixed a few bits & bobs you helped us find:
Create - Hand tool is working again so you can make big maps again
Create - Controller second pad now moves the Game Grid
Controller - the Logitech F710 is now supported
We know it's been a while since we've done a bigger update but that's because we are plotting ;)
Update v1.1.58: Full Controller Support & New Audio + Video Settings
Thank you for playing Chuck's Challenge 3D, we hope you are enjoying it. Over the last two weeks we’ve been working on improving the game with your most requested features. This update v1.1.58 includes:
Additional controllers supported, including Xbox 360 & PS3. Plus, restart is now bound to Y & play to X.
Refined Windows 8 style interface, automatically switching between pointer and mouse cursor.
Resolution & quality are now in-game options in Settings, this means the game now has full controller support.
The volume levels for both SFX and Music can be adjusted rather than just being toggled on or off.
Fixed the bug where the initial second is slightly shorter, hence solving the restart time hack.
If you have any suggestion for new features please add them to the Steam discussion page.
