Hey Moddio creators! We have been hard at work and can finally introduce a few feature: engine versioning. With this new capability, we can now release different version of our game engine, which means we can move faster on improving Moddio for you. This means that, as a creator, you have more control over your game and what engine features you want to take advantage of. You can choose to upgrade to the latest version to access new features, or you can stick with the version your game was originally developed on to ensure stability and consistency. The choice is yours!

What that said, welcome to the inaugural post for our very first engine release!

We’re excited to announce the release of Moddio Engine 2.0.4, a significant update to our no-code, open-source game development platform. This release focuses on improving performance, refining existing features, and introducing new functionalities to help you in your game development journey.

What’s New:

• Engine: Optimized player attribute stream update
• Engine: Refactored all attribute updates to include changes to min and max value
• Engine: Custom physics tick rate is now enabled
• Engine: Walls now have built-in friction value of 0.1
• Roles: Script action name label color now has precedence over player type color
• Servers: Made fixes for autojoining games
• UI: Leaderboard design updates
• Bug fix: AI behaviours wasn’t reflecting the unit settings (e.g. chase distance, max attack range, etc)

Getting Started with 2.0.4:

This release can be used for old and new games. To try out the new engine release on any game, head over to www.modd.io and go to the game you’d like to change. Click on Editor > Game Settings >Engine tab. You will see a new option labeled “Engine Version” and you can change this to “2.0.4-beta” to try out all the new features. Get started and let us know what you think!

Your Feedback Matters:

Your input is vital in making Moddio Engine the best it can be. We encourage you to try the new features out and give us any feedback in our Forums. If you encounter bugs you can also report them on the forums or in our Discord – make sure to tell us what version of the engine you’re using.

Thank you for your continued support and creativity. We can’t wait to see what you’ll build with Moddio Engine 2.0.4!
