[h1]Better Boat Building Buttons, Baby![/h1]
Menus can't just look good, they have to feel good. They should to invite you into their GUI embrace with a tender whisper: [i]Together we will enact your will with ease and clarity.[/i]
Today's update brings Make Sail's build menu a few steps closer to realizing this soothing and unnervingly sensual ambition.
[h1]Learn tricks, get pieces[/h1]
In addition to improved visual feedback for a range of actions, there's a new tutorial. [b]Earn unique pieces[/b] while learning advanced maneuvers like cloning whole groups of pieces!
[h1]What's next?[/h1]
We're not done improving building! More convenience and power is already in the works. Plus more gameplay elements and other surprises. I'm not naming dates, but I will say that [i]creative mode[/i] is coming along nicely.
Thanks for joining us on our journey through the blue oceans of Early Access! Stay tuned!
