  FVD_MajorUpdate_1.1

  Hello everyone! :wave:This post is a little bit late. But nevermind. Update 1.1 for the Forward Vector Demo is officially live! The biggest part of this update is something we’ve been locked in and cooking up for the last three months: the in-game Level Editor is now available in Alpha!You can now jump directly into the demo and start building your very own levels! I am so happy (and slightly stressed) to finally get this into your hands.With this first version, you can:Build: Place platforms, obstacles, and elements to design your own custom layouts.Test: Playtest your creations in real-time right inside the editor.Share: Create your own in-game account and publish your levels to the server so everyone can play it from anywhere.⚠️ A quick disclaimer: This is a very early Alpha build. That means you will likely run into some bugs, and there are definitely features still missing. I decided to release it this early because I want to build this tool with you. I am heavily counting on your feedback to point out what needs to be fixed and what features I should prioritize next!I honestly can’t wait to see the crazy levels you all create with this. Be sure to jump into our discord server (https://discord.gg/zWs3qFXZNB) to share your levels, report bugs, and give us your feedback!Have fun building!
