We’ve got a radical update for you TUnight.
NEW GAME WORLD: LITTLE CRUSADERS
Major Changes
- New Game World: Little Crusaders with 3 maps (Market, Amphitheatre, and Throne Room)
- Migrated to Unreal 4.14: Lots of major engine changes and improvements
- New main menu
- New loading screens
- Each Game World now has their own menus with their own music
New Condo Lobby
This Condo Lobby is significantly smaller than its predecessor, however it makes it easier to find Condos. Players can still access Condos not shown at the doors using the Condo Lady. It now also has a physical position at the top of the tower, and is accessible through either the Jetpack or the elevators.
New Tower Rooftop
This new area is above the new Condo Lobby, and includes the new bar Project 12, which sells similar items to the Nightclub store. It also includes several TV screens which act like theater screens.
Plaza Changes and Fixes
- Added tons of LOD’s to the Plaza, which should improve performance somewhat.
- Improved level streaming logic for Plaza, which should improve load times somewhat.
- Added launchers (Platforms that launch the player from one place to another)
- Tower -> Boardwalk (and Vice versa)
- Tower -> Left Hand Side stores
- Tower -> Right Hand Side stores
- Night lights in Tower now turn on earlier at night, and turn off later in the morning to take into account mountains blocking out light during these times

UI Changes

- Map name and round numbers now show on the scoreboards of every Game World (so you can never lose track)
- Added background to text area in Typing Derby so you can always read the text
- Pressing enter when a confirmation prompt comes up (such as quitting the game) will accept the prompt automatically
Minigolf Changes
- Improved Minigolf aimer appearance
- Garden: Trees now fade out when the camera intersects so you can always see your minigolf balls
