Map editor released - Version 0.24.0

Abstractanks
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

I finally uploaded a new version containing my map editor this morning. This marks quite a big milestone for me, as that was quite a struggle to get working across all three platforms. It was also in the desura version years back, so I was a matter of personal pride to get it back into the release.

I've converted the message area on the itch page to a discussion board. If you have any questions on how to use the editor - or any other feedback - let me know there!

Besides the editor, there are a few other changes:

  • New Map: Hexagon - a big FFA map for 2-3 players
  • Going to the the in-game menu pauses the game in single-player
  • Fixed a bug where unit upgrade levels were not visible from network clients
  • Improved victory / defeat screen
  • Improved shadow quality

I also worked on the 'web' part to get authentication and dedicated servers running again - it seems I broke it with an earlier bugfix. I will have dedicated servers running (sporadically at first) and their games are recorded! These records can later be used to generate rankings.
