Patchnotes 0.5.7 Early Access
Hey crew,

We just released the update 0.5.7 for Nimbatus.
It fixes some problems you found and adds two new logic parts.

New Features:



  • Added NOR Gate
  • Added Triggered Impulse part that acts similar to an impulse giver, but can be triggered by an input key.

Reworks:



  • Added Tooltips for Impulse Givers
  • Editor Settings (Center of Gravity, Tags, etc. ) are now persistent

Balancing:



  • Slowed down the turning speed of the Snake

Bugfixes:



  • Fixed overlapping music while inside Sumo Testarena
  • Fixed floating point input fields on systems that use comma as decimal seperator
  • First launch on Linux systems will now be windowed mode to avoid resolution problems
  • Fixed a display bug for the page control in the drone browser


Thanks for reporting bugs and posting suggestions, keep it up! 

Cheers,
Stray Fawn Studio


Remark: 
Its advisable to update your game before you go into a sumo tournament, as drones using the new parts won't be downloaded until you update.

Edit 05.10.2018
We just uploaded another hotfix to adress the following things:

  • Tutorial cannot be accessed
  • White Screen on Linux when starting the game

Patchnotes 0.5.6 Early Access
Hey crew,

Happy testing!
