Newton's Fourth Law news & patch notes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45099826/c697cf21ce7caf155d97138b8f8b341cf0cf6d72.png

New Features:

0.1.1 brings several new features to make Newton's Fourth Law more accessible and smoother to use.

• Several rooms have been added that feature animations to help break down different concepts and equations. I hope this will make the game more accessible to players who are still learning these concepts.
• After reaching certain milestones, entries in the new physics guide will be unlocked, giving players a more in depth look at each of the concepts and equations, including when they can be used, derivations and example applications.
• The guide is integrated with the new in-game calculator, the IT-84000, allowing players to click on equations and just substitute the values they need. Equations can be inserted into each other and the calculator can solve equations with one unknown without needing to rearrange them.
• Some numbers have been changed to make calculations smoother
• Some UI tweaks to improve visibility
• Changed the exit door in the library to the ground floor
• Added outlines to subtitles for easier readability

Bug fixes:

• Players falling through the floor in the "interruption" level
• The camera in levels 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 should still be able to function correctly now, even on old laptops without a dedicated GPU.
• Many other small bugs

The first update is here!

- Players falling through the floor in the "interruption" level - The camera in levels 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 should still be able to function correctly now, even on old laptops without a dedicated GPU. - Many other small bugs

BugFixes: - Reduced errors in the time between photos in levels 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 for PCs with weaker graphics cards so that the velocity players calculate is more accurate. - The player is now prevented from accidently clicking the cubes when trying to take a photo - Corrected a minus sign on the whiteboard in level 1.4.3 - Fixed a bug on the main menu where holding the mouse down button would loop the click animation - Increased the size of the textbox for the conveyor cube velocity text so that wrapping doesn't occur - Reduced smoothing on the First Person Controller script after complaints of "feeling dizzy" - Corrected some typos and standardized the hint formatting - Players should now be able to get the "May the Net Force be with you" Steam Achievement - Changed "Input Power" to "Total power supplied to the Physics Cube" to make the instructions clearer Future work: - Started prototyping animations for each level to better explain the physics concepts.
