v0.5.4 — important update for desktop version!
Whimtale game engine » Devlog
⚠️ Whimsy Desktop users, update to this version right now! This patch fixes several bugs, one of them was capable of destroying your project with a specific order of actions.
🐞 Bug fixes
- Desktop version: Fix a bug that would overwrite your previous project after you create a new project, reopen Whimsy without saving that new project, and hit “Save”
- IDE: Fix the small screen warning being too large to fit (oops)
- Scenarios: Fix random number block returning values out of range
Though this patch is a quick hotfix, I’ve already prepared more goodies. You can peek into new features like savegames in the staging build — make sure to leave feedback in Whimsy Discord server!
