Colored Blocks, Fog/Sky Color and other level editor tweaks
There's been several smaller patches to add various quality of life features bug fixes to the Level Editor over the last few days, some of the most notable changes include:
Ability to change Fog and Sky color of the level
New Colored Block object can be placed, it's just a basic cube that you can change the color of. Useful for decoration or thematic levels.
Area Selection, by holding Left Alt (default keybind) and holding Left Click (default keybind) you will be able to draw a rectangle on screen and select all objects within it.
Improved help menu, more info is provided
Steam Workshop redirects will now open through the Steam Overlay browser instead of opening the desktop browser.
Q and E (default keybinds) will rotate the selected object 90 degrees
Goal no longer moves up and down since this could cause weird offsets sometimes
Undo/Redo will now change your object selection to the changed objects
Compress files when saving, almost halving level file size
Text fields will now auto select the text when focused
And many more bug fixes and stability improvements!
Online Multiplayer, Speedrun splits and more
If you thought the Level Editor update & Steam Workshop update would be the biggest one for a while you thought wrong! This is another large update that lets you play Stickit online together with your friends in a seamless manner!
The multiplayer is opt-it, so you can leave/join servers whenever you want without having to leave a level or lose any progress. Furthermore you can play custom Steam Workshop levels together with your friends as well!
And if you wonder how your friends are actually able to make the climb, you can toggle the Spectator Mode by pressing K (default keybind) and see the game through their eyes!
You're also able to communicate with your friends through an in-game chat, which will additionally notify everyone in the server when someone in it completes a run! Maybe some friendly competition is in order!
There's also a dedicated speedrunning community for Stickit, so this patch also adds Speedrun Splits for the main level. In addition, the level editor now also lets you place and define speedrun splits for your own custom levels!
There's also tons of smaller bugfixes and quality of life being introduced in this patch, too many to mention, so hop on in-game and get a feel for this fresh new version of the game!
