A new, simple option for players to support artists by loving their Islands has been introduced with the arrival of a new season, which also introduces new items, new props, the Level Instance gadget, and more!
NEW ITEMS
PHYSICS TREES
Trees that blow over, roll, and hurt things! These Timber trees have the power to harm people, cars, and structures!
PHYSICS BOULDERS
Three new physics boulders! Create traps with Trap boulders that will be stationary until triggered, use the new Balance boulders in a map to create tactical enemy eliminations, or place Physics boulders that can sink (or be used for resources)! Time to get those maps rocking.
LIKE THIS ISLAND
With the 21.00 Patch, the UI now has additional features that enable players to rate an island when leaving. Players now have a quick and simple option to let us know which islands they adored without having to add them to their Favorites list. This function is currently being tested. The number of likes an Island has earned will not be visible to creators during this trial phase.
OTHER UPDATES AND CHANGES
- The Island thermometer has been unified so the same system will be used for small and larger islands! The selection tool that now replaces the old hovering mechanism will inform creators about the saved memory cost of removing the selected item.
- The level Instance device has been released. This device will make it simple to create your own prefabs! Read more in the Level Instance Device document here
