I'm sure a good portion of you are playing with the beta. Here's a thread devoted to your favourite additions - I'm not sure how Erik will feel, but hey, we're consumers. And in the midst of all these bugs, it's nice for the team to know they're appreciated.

My favourite -

The extra co-ordinates. Quarce, Quince and Sense rock my world. Much better than Four Times, Five Times and so on.

Second-best is the new fades on lightning and the like. It just makes things better.

I'm a man for the small touches, so I notice the little extras that make things go from 'cool' to 'cool!' without much notice.

Matt

Is it just me, or are the splatterings different? There's something new about them that I can't put my finger on, but I really like.

Well, someone's got to say it - the level editor. I mean, the small additions are really cool - but if I had to choose whether to play 1.6 without them and with the editor, or without the editor and with all the small changes, the choice is clear. Heck, I'd play 1.6 with the editor if Erik and Mike decided to replace all the roaches with penguins and make Beethro a male nurse wielding a rubber chicken.

I love how the room turns to green when you complete it. Also, I really like the stats that appear when you right-click.

I can't pinpoint one thing. The editor and more importantly the ability to play other people's holds comes at the top, but everything else is really good. I especially like the fact that I no longer need to count turns until the next tar growth/queen spawns.

I didn't know about that.
That is absolutely brilliant.

Yes - they're using what looks like a collision detection routine for blood spatters. They almost seem more "3-D" somehow. It's a detail I like.
