Upcoming Update (Version 16.56)

[Rotem]

So, you've all been waiting for something juicey and I was too, BYOND strongly implies it's about to declare out the next stable build which means I can finally shove in all the cool shit from the beta versions.

I know that, this doesn't sound impressive unless you've actually spent time lurking in BYOND forums watching what people achieved with it and even then, I'm not sure you connected the dots about what that means, so allow me to speak in terms you'll understand: Lumos, we're adding Lumos... and cat's eye potion or whatever else it should be named.

Aside from that I've applied a few fixes as well as an improvement to the "beta" map mode, I've also removed completely the old map mode, you can still get it to work by editing your skins but I don't really want you to.

At this time, I do not plan to add any new clothing, quests or any sort of content that you yourself can add, the game is open source, I feel like I've laid a ton of groundwork and simplified a lot: scripting quests, adding monsters or items, it's never been easier.

I've responded and explained previously how quests work, it's a very easy thing to do. I also made it clear we can give voice to NPC, if you wanna try voice acting, give it a go.

So, to summerize, Lumos, we're adding Lumos.

I have completed the changes, I also added more potions in, rare potions.

We're only waiting on BYOND to announce a stable version which should happen very soon, probably this week.

From BYOND devblogs, it seems we'll be on beta for at least another week so I still can't update, although at this point I'm very tempted to switch TWC to the beta and force y'all to install it.
