Melon Sandbox has just released its latest update, version 27.5, which brings a plethora of exciting features to enhance gameplay and creativity. This update includes new musical instruments, a music editor, wigs, ropes, rotation freezing, camera zoom scale improvements, preview mode, animation capabilities, SCT themes, an updated file manager, and enhancements to the mod editor. Here's a breakdown of all new features and functions players can expect in the Melon Sandbox update 27.5:
New Musical Items
The update introduces a variety of musical instruments in the mechanisms tab, including:
Drums: Perfect for creating rhythmic beats.
Flutes: Adds a melodic touch to your compositions.
Xylophone: Offers a unique sound for musical experimentation.
Guitar: Both acoustic and electric options are available.
Piano: Ideal for creating complex melodies.
New Music Editor
The music editor allows users to create melodies using these new instruments. By accessing the context menu and clicking on the pen icon in the upper left corner, players can compose music. The editor enables users to listen to their creations in real-time or activate the instruments to hear them play together. This feature allows for the creation of beautiful, multi-instrumental melodies.
New Wigs
In addition to musical elements, the update includes four new wigs for character customization.
New Rope Usage System
A new rope system allows players to tie objects together. By clicking on two objects, a rope will bind them, enabling creative scenarios and interactions.
New Rotation Freezing Function
A new function in the context menu allows players to freeze the rotation of objects. This feature is particularly useful for flying objects like rocket engines, as it simplifies their control without needing a gyroscope.
Increased Camera Zoom Scale
The camera's zoom scale has been increased, allowing players to view the entire map more easily.
New Preview Mode
The map editor now includes a preview mode, which lets players test maps without leaving the editor. This mode offers all the same possibilities as regular gameplay, streamlining the map creation process.
New Animations
Players can now create animations by setting start and end points for movement, rotation, or scaling. Animations can be set to restart after returning to their initial position, adding depth to map interactions.
Theme Changing
In the map settings, SCT themes can be changed, offering more customization options for finished maps.
Updated File Manager
The file manager now allows users to delete unnecessary files and optimize them for the new version, though this makes them incompatible with older versions. A safe mode has been added to help troubleshoot startup issues by launching the game without mods or saves.
New Mod Editor
The mod editor includes an ice block and a revised texture view with easier border adjustments. Players can now see their mods loading during game startup.
Revamped What's New Tab
The "What's New" tab has been revamped to include an icon and a news section, keeping players informed about updates and mod approvals.
Overall, Melon Sandbox's update 27.5 offers a rich set of features that enhance creativity, gameplay, and user experience, making it an exciting time for fans of the game.
