1.16.7 Hotfix Is Available - Please Upgrade!


Dear shipmates,

As some of you might have realized by now, we have released a 1.16.7 "hotfix" on top of the major 1.16.5 update. This new release contains two fixes over 1.16.5:

* It fixes a crash that would occur when Floating Sandbox detects that a new update is available;

* It fixes a graphical issue on some specific graphics cards, whereby the ocean would be rendered as completely white.

Especially the first issue is a bit annoying, as that bug was introduced in 1.16.4 and it is now making it impossible for us to allow Floating Sandbox installations worldwide to detect new updates. For this reason you are *strongly* advised to upgrade to 1.16.7; we will then re-enable automatic updates once enough users have ditched 1.16.4 and have upgraded to 1.16.7.

So, go ahead and upgrade!!! And talk to you soon with news on the next update!!!

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)

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exitπŸšͺ, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
