Devlog Update 82 + Pre-Alpha 7

Hey! It’s been a short month for us due to Pre-Alpha 6 being a week late, but here’s Pre-Alpha 7 anyways!
As usual, grab it from the download link that you received back when you purchased the game. Use the key resender if you lost your download link.

The full change log is at the end of this post.

Devlog

Garret created a new Star Shape ride during the last art stream (which you can still watch here), and here it is done and in the game:

I’m really happy with how the animation turned out, especially with these physics-driven seat beams. I was also more careful with taking measurements for rotation speeds etc. from footage of real versions of this ride instead of eyeballing it (although my estimates weren’t too far off). I should go back and do the same for some older rides.
