[previewyoutube=h8AwAvSZsxc;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] Hey guys! Krayfishkarl here and welcome to another Droplet: States of Matter update! Early Access 1.38 is now available! This is a housekeeping update that cleans up several different levels and touches them up with miscelleneous fixes. I'll rapid fire through the highlights. Firstly, I made some graphical updates to the Industrial Junkyard level. The factory portion has received a visual makeover with new details. I've improved it in not only appearance, but also performance. In particular, I refactored the code for the conveyor belt objects to run a lot smoother. I also took the liberty to improve the general gameplay flow of the level, making it faster to run through each of the lever puzzles. Naturally, I've updated the required times for the time trials to accomodate these changes. Next, I reshuffled some atom locations in a few levels so that they are more intuitive to find and more consistent with the rest of the game. This includes not only Industrial Junkyard, but also Arctic Rig and Macro Kitchen. And lastly, I made some small changes to the Galactic Science Festival to address some feedback. A few extra landmarks were added and some of the cutscenes were tweaked to communicate information better to the player. That's all for now! And with that, thank you for following the development of Droplet: States of Matter!
