What’s new in Castle, Dec 3 2018
Hello Castlers! We released a small update to Castle for Windows and MacOS over the weekend. Most of the changes were incremental, but here are a few highlights:
Create new Castle projects faster
If you have an idea for a game, we’d like to help you get started on it right away. Now you can click this fancy button:
We’ll prompt you for a directory on your machine, and then we’ll create a boilerplate main.lua file there and start running it. We’ve also added a simple tutorial to guide you through some useful first steps.
Find other people
We noticed that people were creating Castle accounts because their friends were creating games in Castle. Now you can find people you know by typing their handle in the search bar.
We have a Discord now
We’ve created a Discord server where you can share what you’re playing, share what you’re creating, or ask for help. Join us!
Fixed some other issues
- Fixed an issue on Windows where some fonts and sounds would fail to load from
file://uris. - Several incremental improvements to share.lua, a library for shared state in Castle games. (More details forthcoming!)
- Fixed some weird behavior hiding Castle with
Cmd + Hon MacOS. - Fixed an issue saving your profile when it was empty.
Come and say hello
As always, we’d love to hear any feedback from you. Let us know on Twitter or Discord.
