Since the publisher of app is changed and we are new owners of app, we would like to inform that we added Trading Cards in Project Lounge, it's just a small "thank you" for all players who supported this project.
We understand that project was abandoned long time ago, and you are looking for "real" updates, not a trading cards, so we hope that we can work and update the game in future
Thanks again
Here is some preivew of cards:
Unstable Build 14 - Important
Unstable Build 14 is available through Steam Beta program.
!!! Please use Unstable Build 14 if you want to have Lounge compability with upcoming builds. However, please do keep in mind, game breaking bugs might be present. Not all features intended for build 14 are still in the build, so more are to come.
Current changelog (Subject to Change):
General:
- Network optimization.
- Physics optimization.
- Save file formatting rehauled designed for as much compability as possible with future updates.
- Heavy file size optimization as well as seperate files for terrain and lounge data. This means faster loading, less downloading.
- Physics detection change, objects should not fall through ground anymore.
- Water visual improvement.
- Made most of the small plant objects uncollidable, thus being able to walk through them.
- Added a button in main menu to lead to the Item Store from where players can support developers directly.

- Fixed the terrain shaping preview appearing outside the editor.
- Added more tips for the loading screen.

Editor:
- Added a gray grid going over X and Z axis.
- Added Undo and Redo for past 50 actions. CTRL + Z to undo and CTRL + Y to redo. It's eligable for following actions:
Spawn Entity, Delete Entities, Duplicate Entities and Entity parameter applying
- Added Entity inspection window. Click one more time on an Entity while it's selected and modify it's parameters without destroying it and making another one. Also a possibility for copying it's parameters from one entity to another.
- Duplicating objects will now move them to position of mouse cursor.
- Changed entity visualization featuring entity icon and it's facing direction.
- New Scene Gizmo that replaces an old one. Pressing on it's axis will change the camera perspective to an according axis.
- Object Selection tool now features options to choose between local and global positioning gizmo. Very useful for light entity!
State of Project Lounge
To all who have been wondering what's with the absence of updates and all that kind of stuff alike.
Right now I'm very busy getting ready for upcoming school exams and that means progress has been quite stagnant. My last exam will be on June 16th. After that day, the development pace will steamroll into full potential as it was on the launch days!
I hope to push out one major before getting back to full pace. It's going to include optimized saving system and upcoming Unity 5.6 which features network optimization and it's a really big deal for game like Project Lounge!
If you've got any questions, please comment here or on our Discord server, I'll try to answer all the questions!
Thank You for supporting Project Lounge, we still have a lot to go!
Founder's Edition offer to end soon
Founder's Edition offer is going to end in upcoming week.
The price is going to stay the same and to clear up any possible misunderstanding - this doesn't mean that the game is coming out of the early access. It's just so we could track people who supported Project Lounge in it's very early development as first supporters.
If you ever planned to gift this game to your friend or buy it for yourself, it would be the best time do so!
Thank You for being with Project Lounge and supporting it! :D:
Regarding Next Update
Next Update will make old Lounge saves uncompatible with newer build that's coming out soon. (14)
This is required to change how the Lounge gets saved and loaded. New format decreases the size of Lounges almost by 6 times. This will make loading into Lounges way faster and general loading faster.
There's also some other good stuff coming in the update, one of which is super-wanted feature by the community... good 'ol CTRL + Z
