FEATURE
The editor for casino/condo/crew floors and casino/crew lots is one of the last holdouts from the pre-beta version of CasinoRPG. In this update, we've completely re-thought and re-written the editor and related features from the ground up to offer a vastly improved tycoon experience:
- Editor is now opened with the "EDITOR" button in the top right of the screen.
- Editor now opens as a full-width panel along the bottom of the screen.
- When editing, changes don't persist until you save. This allows experimenting with layouts and changes without committing to them and the costs.
- In general, the editor is more lightweight and lowers CPU and memory usage.
- When done editing, there is a new review display that breaks down the changes and lets you reset them in groups (new items, changed items, wall colors, etc).
- The editor is now fully responsive to stretch or shrink to most any size screen.
- New casino metrics display makes it much easier to see how your casino is performing at a glance. Clicking each section drills down into a detailed view.
- The build menu now includes several new categories for items.
- Search bar on build and vault menu allows searching items by name.
- Added filtering options to all displays (sub-categories, themes, etc).
- Items are now grouped by color, and the color can be changed until the editor session has been saved.
- The left/right walls can now be modified separately.
- A new color wheel has been added for walls, enabling vastly more color choices.
- Managing employees has been simplified to hire/fire and change wages inline.
- Items in vaults are now grouped by level and type instead of just type.
- In addition to stats and level, vault items now show how many times they've broken.
- Added ability to filter vault items by area, and defaults to current (casino, condo, lot).
- Selecting an item on the floor shows the number of breaks and current level.
- Items are now visually lifted off the floor when selected for editing, and the tiles underneath are highlighted.
- When dragging an item, arrows point out on the sides to indicate you can drag.
- When editing/placing items or floor tiles, the editor panel is hidden to provide maximum editing area.
- New sound effects have been associated with editing actions.
- The "instant" button has been merged with the "accept" button/action on new items.
- When confirming a placement, you can check a box to take that action (instant or not) automatically for the rest of the session.
- All floor/lot changes are now shown real-time to nearby players on save (only some were before).
- Improved the countdown display on new/upgrading items.
- Upgrading an item has a new display showing the relative changes and a new instant upgrade option.
- Overhauled building menu on lots for easier upgrading, renovating, etc.
- Limited edition items in your vault are now marked with a "LIMITED" banner.
- New items in the build menu are marked with a "NEW" banner.
- Items now show as broken and are highlighted as such from within the editor.
- The display of locked items is more clear now.
- Closing a casino is now done from the metrics display inside.
- The metrics display now includes a live countdown to when the next simulation update happens.
- The popularity details window now lets you view a list of recent VIP visitors.
