0.5.0pre11 is released!

Added icons to a few buttons.

All text in the game now comes from a language file, making translations possible in the future.

Started working on a new feature called Logic Boxes. They work but the feature is not done yet.

> Started working on a new feature called Logic Boxes. They can be used to control level parts just like nodes (buttons, toggles, timers) can. Additionally, they can be controlled by nodes. A logic box can have one or more input and output pins. The pins are like nodes; the input pins can be toggled by other nodes, and the output pins can hide, show, and toggle any level parts. The behavior of a logic box is determined by its instructions.

Currently, logic box instructions are written in assembly language; specifically, the assembly language for the X3216 instruction set. The X3216 is a virtual 8-bit microprocessor that runs the logic boxes. At the moment, this feature is esoteric, but it will be expanded and made more accessible as I finish working on it. For now, info can be found in

/StreamingAssets/Docs/LogicBox

> Added a new sample level that demonstrates a Logic Box in action.

> Added icons next to quite a few buttons.

> Changed the hotkey to open the Message Log from "Tab" to "F1".

> The Message Log now tracks multiple logs, and they can be navigated using the "next" and "previous" buttons.

> Tweaked some more graphics.

> Made the player react to lighting.

> Changed the button and toggle sounds.

0.4.0 is out, and it brings some new features to the game! Moving platforms can now have more complicated paths, and nodes can be turned into triggers that get activated when the player enters them!

0.3.2 is out, and it's another bug-fix along with some improved graphics! There's also a credits menu on the title screen.

I'm currently working on the new level browser, rewriting the networking code, and changing how online levels are stored. With the new browser comes a new look for the UI - here is a sneak peek at how it looks so far.

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Finished work on the emotions of a new character for the tank universe
