Optimized level generation (v1.4.5) Public Beta

LEVELS OPTIMIZATION

The recent series of updates dropping after v1.4 have been massively important for the game's long term performance as it continues to be expanded upon. However, it felt like every time one hole was plugged up, another sprung a leak.

Most recently, level generation became the most common point when player's games would freeze, Jack decided to fully rebuild how maps were generated (v1.4.4)!! This has greatly improved performance. BUT several level-layout "rules" became broken through this rebuild. These errors in level generation were leading to impossible layouts, wonky room patterns, and several other bugs.

v1.4.5 BETA

After this update, you should be experiencing fast load times, fewer freezes (hopefully 0 freezes, but please report here if you do), and no more broken map layouts! But we're going to need your help testing it.

You have our deepest apologies for a rocky window of development. We cannot thank you all enough for your patience with us, and for reporting bugs with such diligence and accuracy! That assistance has taken us this far - and we'll be sure to repay that generosity in kind!!

ACCESSING THE BETA

Accessing the public beta branch is simple as can be and only takes a few steps:
