Minor Update:

- Added an Online Party machine at the start of the level

- To address criticism regarding the large seagull, there are now more visual cues to make catching it easier. Its flight speed was also decreased slightly.

- Corrected a dumb oversight since the previous update where the first Rift Gate's Time Pon requirement was left at 0. Sorry about that - it has been reset back to 4.

- Attempted to prevent the camera from zooming close to the player at wall-jumping sections

- Gave the Time Pon's HUD icon correct compression settings

Unless players report anymore major bugs, this is the final update. For real this time. Thank you for playing Color Block Fortress!!

Quick Patch! Notes:

- Fixed Snatcher's NPC model not loading after the map is cooked. Because the script fails to load the original actor, a duplicate class of the same actor was put in its place.

- Corrected a potential softlock where you're able to bring the Mafia Boss Jar inside Rift Gates

- Addressed a collision issue regarding one of the level's walls

- Minor visual adjustments

- Minor design adjustments

Unless anymore major bugs are reported, further updates for this map will most likely cease, as I strongly feel it is 100% complete.

Thank you all for playing Color Block Fortress!!

hotfix

hotfix

New small update. Changes:

- The Coffee Clerk Mission has been overhauled
Rather than collecting a certain amount of pons, players must now catch a flying seagull holding a vault code ticket. The design of the mission itself remains mostly the same, still reqiring level memorization to beat it.

- Added clues on how to beat the Time Stop mission, as some people couldn't figure out how to get its Time Pon to appear

- Reduced depth of field effects in order to see the large seagull & vault code ticket from farther away

- Applied vertex coloring to background elements

- Added more minor details
Thank you all so much for continuing to report issues and providing feedback after all this time!

hotfix: due to debugging a previous fix, I had forgotten to set the Time Pon requirement for the second Rift Gate back to 4, causing the final gauntlet to be inaccessible

Hotfix: Fixed an object not properly spawning, fixed hud issues, fixed delayed buttons, and fixed intersecting faces on a model. See main change notes below

Color Block Fortress | v2.3.0 | Change Notes:

- Unlike Rift Pons, Time Pon collection will not be synced. This is to prevent potential soft locks
