This iteration is all about adding a little polish to both the game engine itself and to the developer tools. On the Engine side of things there are tons of small improvements, but the biggest thing in this release is the ability to record in-game video. On the developer tooling side of things we’ve added a bunch of debugging features to help smooth future development work.
