Feather Forcefields!
Hi everyone!!
Zeepkist 2D and the sound update are still taking a while, so I figured it was time to give Zeepkist another neat cool fun feature while the big stuff isn't done yet.
Introducing: Feather Forcefields!!
Feather forcefields are built as a solution for cases where you made a biiiig yump, but the landing doesn't quite fit right and Unity throws you some occasional landing bugs.
Feather forcefields will slow down your velocity along the forcefield's local Y axis (green), while not touching your velocity along the X and Z axis (red & blue).
There's settings for slow down force and max-slowing-speed, so they're highly customizable for your specific situation!
In game, they don't look like big blue transparent forcefields, but instead display as a bunch of white feathers floating around where the forcefield is active.
Happy Zeepkisting!
If anything's broken, let me know in the Discord!! (the blue-purple button in the main menu)
Happy Zeepkisting!!
Zeepkist Awesome Alpha - Version 15, Patch 24
- Changed level editor tip "Level needs 1 start & at least 1 finish!" to be reactive, now mentioning start & finish if those aren't placed yet, mentioning podium if that isn't placed yet, and letting you know everything is all good when you've placed a start, finish, and podium.
Zeepkist Awesome Alpha - Version 15, Patch 22 & 23
- Added 3 green concretes
- Added 3 "Roman Pillar" blocks

Zeepkist Awesome Alpha - Version 15, Patch 16-20
Hey everyone!!
I went ahead and took a shallow dive into the online photo mode "camera mode" code, to see if there were improvements to be made!
And there were! In fact the whole thing can probably use a big overhaul in the future, but for now I figured I'd just slap on some extra better options to improve usability in the meantime!
SO
New Camera Modes!
I've added 2 new camera modes to online photo mode!
Static Follow and Dynamic Follow
Static Follow follows your target player statically, from a fixed point behind the other player.
Dynamic Follow does much the same, except the camera will stay level to the horizon.
Static:
Dynamic:
The difference isn't super big, but they're nice options to have.
You'll need to hop into the keybinding settings to bind keys to "Camera 6" and "Camera 7".
Only Spectate Favorited Players
kAN and the boys also told me they were interested in a way to only spectate players they'd favorited, in order to more easily watch what their friends are doing. So I made it so you can "spectate priority" people from the leaderboard now!
By default I've bound them to Ctrl+N and Ctrl+M. (The bindings for looping through all players are M and N)
You can change these in the keybinding settings if you'd like!
Favoriting People From Leaderboard
To aid with the new "Only Spectate Favorites" feature, I've added "Spectate Player" buttons to the Leaderboard view!
This should make it a lot easier to spectate people!
Remember, favorited people will always be able to join your lobbies, overriding the "max allowed players" in a lobby!
Patch 17:
- Someone found a bug in singleplayer which I fixed!
- Improved Dynamic Follow camera
- Press Camera 6 and Camera 7 multiple times to toggle between looking forward and backwards!
Looking backwards:
Patch 18:
- Fixed favoriting people not working as non-host
Patch 19:
- I had to decouple the "spectate favorite" system from the "join room priority" favorite system because it doesn't work on the backend. Uhh anyway these are now separate systems! The "spectate favorites" can be set through leaderboard view! :D
