Hello and welcome to the first ever Atmosphirian news broadcast. Today is July 30th, 2010, and I’m your host, Colin.
Atmosphir has received several updates over the past week. The first update, 0.9.8.2, brought the long-awaited teleporters into Atmosphir. These interactive props are designed to transport any player or object from Point A to Point B in an instant. Teleporters take up one space on the design grid, and at this time cannot be scaled or free-placed.
Teleporters are activated simply by standing on them. There may be a charge or cool-down time, as determined by the designer of the level. Interactives, such as beach balls, boxes, and coconuts can be sent through the teleporter. Players have confirmed that bombs can be teleported, though the momentum of the shot will not be carried over unless the teleporter is designed correctly.
Version 0.9.8.3 was released today, bringing the community three new ranged weapons. The Plunderer K-460 is a bomb cannon whose bombs explode on impact. The Berryblaster SW-22 is a new laser weapon which fires a pair of pink rings for each shot. The final weapon, the AX-70, fires two red lasers in rapid succession. Head Moderator Adz was kind enough to provide the community with footage of each of these weapons for players who are cautious to spend their money. Each weapon is available in the store for 300 atmos apiece.
A new category has also been added to the store. This “animations” category is currently empty, but Dave has promised that there will be news about that in the near future. He did however confirm that there will be several basic animations which will be free of charge, while the more advanced animations will be on sale soon. Prices have not been announced.
That’s all for today, everyone. Thanks for watching.
