GearBlocks Demo 0.7.8145

Hi all, another minor demo update is out now with some small usability improvements and visual changes to the in-game maps.

Release notes:-

• Minor usability improvements:-

  • Builder tool actions (unfreeze, duplicate part, and delete part) now work even when targeting a manipulator handle.

  • Unfrozen (individual) parts can now be directly deleted, without having to freeze them first.

  • Move manipulator part resizing now works even when "transform" and "resize" actions are bound to the same keys.

  • When no tool is active, the targeted part is only highlighted if it has an activatable or tweakable behaviour.

• Improvements to the "desert proving ground" map:-

  • Implemented height based texture blending in the terrain shaders.

  • Replaced terrain textures.

  • Added grass and trees.

  • Implemented a rudimentary "weather" system that adjusts the sky between clear and cloudy.

  • Improved atmospheric scattering to better visually blend between the terrain, distant terrain, and sky.

• Improvements to the "flat plane" map:-

  • Expanded its size to 8x8km.

  • Replaced floor texture.

  • Replaced sky with an environment cube map.

• Raised boundary height to 2 km in all maps.

• Bug fixes.

• Upgraded to Unity 2019.4.38.
