Project Lounge
Build 11 - About damn time
Anyway, lets get to the main features. I can't remember everything what's in there so I'll go through most important parts:
LOUNGE TERRAIN:
- New structure, allows more detail and looks prettier itself.
- Resizable.
- No need to preview low-poly anymore, changes are immediate.
- Optimization for when sculpting, smaller FPS drops.
LOUNGE GENERAL:
- UI change, should be easier for eyes with less orange and white colors blending.
- Entities:
Spawnpoints. Previously you could only have one spawnpoint, now you can have several of them on Lounge and when spawning player will go to the random one of those.
Lights. Now you can have lights in your Lounge, however keep in mind that they are a bit perfomance invasive, so try to use them sparingly.
GENERAL:
- Distant fog that blends with sky to make smooth blend in further distances.
- Workshop support for Lounges. You can now upload Lounges and play Lounges uploaded by other people.
That's the main features for now. There's one more Christmas update coming up quite soon, sorry once again and enjoy festive season!
Regarding Upcoming Update
The way terrain works will be changed and it wont load up in the old Lounges after the update, but everything else should be fine and old Lounges should still load up, however the terrain will be reverted to new default.
This new update will allow custom terrain sizes and also bigger partitioning allowing more detail to be shown on the terrain.
Sorry for the inconvienence, if you've got any more questions regarding the upcoming update let me know.

Build 9
- New Arcade called Dootris inspired by Tetris and MrSkeltal meme.

- Arcade screens now made to seem like they are lit.
- Terrain casts shadows onto itself, no more "flying" shadows.
- Minor perfomance improvement.
While testing Trivia I've thought that it must be develop in a bit different approach, so It's going to take more time on to it.
Let me know if you run into any issues!
Build 8 Notes and some other news.
- Fixed items not being sorted properly after going back to menu and back into Lounge.
Regarding the upcoming mentioned content update. It's going to come a later due to need to smash all the bugs in both Trivia and Tetris arcade. However, the new upcoming update will also feature some other content than Trivia and Tetris.
Sorry for being out of promised schedule.
