The Last Leviathan v0.3.1 - игра последней версии

This release is the first in a series of brand new content releases showcasing the work we've been doing over the past 10 months. We’ve completely rewritten the editor so its massively more powerful and this update focuses on the new S.U.P.E.R. Editor functions with the addition of some brand-new power-blocks:

New Blocks
We’ve added the following to this version:
The Piston
Butt Hinge
Powered Hinge
Powered Ball Joint
The Controller

There are more new blocks that will hit the BETA branch very soon, more on that later.

The Controller is a very special block that gives you the power to sequence block functionality over time. This is an R&D block and we're looking forward to seeing what you guys do with it.

There will be a tutorial video coming soon for this very special block, but let’s see if you guys can figure it out on your own first…

The Editor Re-Write
The Ship Editor has been re-written from the ground up to make it hugely more powerful and in preparation for Monsters. What it also gives us is more freedom to create, removing the grid-like limitation you had before and opening up possibilities for greater building tools. The new editor has been dubbed the SUPER Editor and contains the tools:
Build Mode (Default): Standard building interface

We’ll be doing more tutorial videos very soon.

Other Features of Note
Bounds Limit: there is now an option to turn the bound limit off for your creations, this means you can build ‘outside the box’ and not just think outside the box (see what we did there?). Three words: EPIC Massive SHIPS!!
Point at a block and press F to focus the camera on a particular block in the editor.
Block Properties panel is now scrollable and exposes more block properties than before. Block properties are also copied when you copy a block.
Billions of optimisations.
Save data – Even though we’ve changed the game on a fundamental basis all your current save data should be fine, as should your ships. If you notice anything not right about this, please add it to the bug list. We need to know that stuff!

As always, if you want to build HUGE ships or are still experiencing low framerates, please adjust your graphical settings at start up to 'Fastest' and untick/lower the various graphical settings in the options menu.

There are no monsters or multiplayer yet. Both these items are HUGE investments in time for such a small team. We have started monsters but they will take some time to get right and we will only release when they are, they HAVE to be frickin awesome don’t they!

Corrected Keel display weights.
Blocks with the ability to resist damage, now show their ‘Damage Resistance’ value as a %age in the Block Info panel.
Options screen now has a "Reset Battle Seas" button but only when invoked from the Main Menu. This, unsurprisingly, will Reset your Battle Seas progress allowing you to start again.
Bug-Fix: The Battle Seas, Versus and Events panels were still enabled after they had been faded out.
Options screen will now display an appropriate confirmation message if you Reset the Tutorial, Battle Seas or Option defaults.
Balancing: Some small changes to damage, armour and health systems.
Power: Some minor power changes to several blocks.
Bug-Fix: Battle Seas win text had a typo that was corrected.
Tweaks to some Battle Seas opponents in Cog and Hulk Class.
Bug-Fix: Corrected a typo in a Battle Seas completed message.
Bug-Fix: Fixed typo in "1 Stars" message in Battle Seas activity.
Bug-Fix: Ingame Keys dialog no longer destroys the Ingame UI thereby resetting Throttle and Rudder, etc. You can now continue to sail with the keys panel visible.
Bug-Fix: Block rotation would sometimes "gimbal lock" leading to loss of rotation in one axis.
Bug-Fix: If you had previously unlocked Hulk Class Battle Seas with lower star requirement, it is unlocked again as long as you earned at least one star in Hulk Class.
Bug-Fix: Battle Seas was missing some of the new ship additions.
Bug-Fix: Typos corrected where "Destory..." was used instead of "Destroy..."
Bug-Fix: Rudder power was applied even when not moving causing weird "rudder spins". Rudder only applies force when moving and has a small application ramp.

• Rebalanced the sails - The largest sail imparts a lot more force. The smaller ones have been reduced slightly. Costs and weights have also been re-aligned to fit with the thrust that they give.
• Fixed issue on the sails where the large and extra-large sails thought they were logically bigger than they were
• Fixed issue with the sails where one would see a chug when hovering over a sail with the same sail selected. Fiddled with the cloth settings on the sails to improve their look to compensate for the vertices loss.
• updated min & recommended specs
• Added joints that have less strength
• Definable start position (Default to origin if not found)

• TIP - add 'bottom' to the keel tip to give a hint on where it goes as a number of players/youtubers weren’t aware that it is mean to be placed at the bottom of a ship…

• NEW Block rotations - WASD keys now give players more options to rotate
• Creative Waves Option – Creative mode only – Added options to play with the waves

• Cannon balls now continue into water at a reduced speed and do damage if they hit stuff
• Lights in scene - there's an Option in the settings to enable/disable dynamic lights.

• added new rounded blocks for ship building coolness
• Implemented NEW 3rd person firing, tested it, took it out again! back to the drawing board!

• Fixed timing of AI triple cannon so that they fire at the same rate as the player
• Updated Version notes in main menu
• AI - In ships that are built very obviously backwards, turn the helmsblock around so that the AI doesn't just run away thinking that its actually moving towards the player

• Fixed BUG - thumbnails not actually updating the thumbnail for the ship
