New development version of Boundless:
We have updated Boundless with our latest development build (originally referred to as the C++ build). This versions offers the latest features, best performance and will eventually become Boundless 1.0.
- We aim to update the game every week.
- Updates will include new features, bug fixes,optimisation and content iterations.
Note:
- It will also include features still in development that are: incomplete, lack polish, use placeholder assets, and contain bugs.
- There will be world wipes but we hope to do these infrequently.
Here is a list of features that are not in the Legacy version
- New worlds: Includes inverted slopes and a more alien world.
- Item props models added: meat, stick, seeds.
- Mould block now uses foliage system to look extra soft and gross and spore-y.
- 1st Pass: Weapon and items rendererd in GUI and for drops with some placeholders.
- 1st Pass: Texture blending supported for newer blocks.
- Added control remapping for chat, inventory, worlds menu, full screen and toggle debug info.
- Emote animations. Type a / followed by the emote name in the chat window. Examples: /wave /shrug /laugh /yes /no /facepalm
- World regeneration - Blocks modified outside of a beacon will be regenerated to their original states over time as long as players are not within their immediate vicinity.
- Native support for DualShock 4 controllers on Windows
- Grass/Soil block interactions now fully supported, with the 3 grass types being freely mixable with the 3 soil types.
- Many, many new slopeable block types such as rock.
- Many, many new craftable block types such as rock also (Recipes pending…)
- Many brand new block types like mud, growth and thorns.
