New Stratosphir Footage

On November 6th, as promised, a new Quick Look was released, showcasing some of Statosphir’s new tricks. Unlike other footage, this was completely unedited, totaling six minutes of content. Here’s a summary of what happened and what we saw:

-Improved graphics. Although this has been known for awhile, many people were amazed at how much the graphics and overall appearance of the game has been improved.

-A new level made with Project Stratosphir. The basic concept of the video was watching Dave play through a level made with the new tools. This showcased some of the new features, including tile rotation, scaling, and gravity flips.

-Multiple uses for blocks. A few of the blocks offered in the game already have been modified to work with the new features. For example, the wooden floor found in the Adventure Set now serves as a ladder when put on its side, and a scaled stone door has many places where the player can climb.

-On-The-Go Customization. Although we have heard of this and seen some of it in action, on-the-go character customization was showcased. Accessible from the pause menu, you may change what your character is wearing in the middle of a game. You may also take your icon screenshot from the same menu. When you are done, your character will display a short animation of them looking at their new clothes.

-Gravity switches. Quite possibly one of the most anticipated features in the new update, we were finally able to see gravity changes in action. Activated by touching floating orbs with arrows, changing the gravity will cause the level to flip a certain direction (based on the arrow), causing you and any enemies to fall with it.

-Combat. Throughout the video, the player fights several enemies. The combat system has been greatly improved, with new fighting movements and enemy responses. When a flying skull was destroyed, a large distortion effect took place around the explosion. We were also able to see the new bomb cannon being used. A crosshair mode has been added, allowing you to see where you are aiming the cannon.

All in all, this was an amazing Quick Look. With Stratosphir set for launch in December, the community is only growing more anxious.

Thanks for reading, everyone!
