Notes

This release adds two new templates: one showing a simple "Spot the difference" type game, and another with a slightly more advanced demonstration of the scene graph feature using a skeleton sprite made out of several objects. It also shows how you can pick across the hierarchy with the new conditions.

Finally as ever there's a batch of further bug fixes, which hopefully are the last of this release cycle. We're aiming for a stable release soon, and all being well it can come out next week, but as usual it may be delayed if any serious issues are discovered. So please test carefully and let us know if you run in to any problems! As usual please note problems only mentioned in comments or on the forum won't be investigated - please report them to the issue tracker following all the guidelines.

  • Thanks for the update! Those scene graph crash fixes saved my life haha

    On this subject, are there plans to add scene graph to 9-patch objects? It'd really help me with a project

  • Just got to say thx for the update I need this update

  • Better Sprite Editor and a 3D Obj import feature so we can easily make isometric sprites !!

  • Preliminary results suggest that tile maps are "mis-tiling", tested a few related projects, main one that has issues stores tile ID's in arrays, considering the change here with tile IDs that might be the culprit. (The project works fine in r216)

      Please file an issue following all the guidelines if you have trouble - in general it's impossible to fix problems just from comments like this.

  • give us 3d

    • Scirra said they will not provides 3D because they want to focus on 2D and give us the best possible 2D experience. If you want 3D, there is many other engines for this :)

  • is there anyway to get that ellipse tool to draw from the top left opposed to the middle? its easier to grab the corner than finding the absolute middle.
