Hi everyone!

Today's the day! After 4 months in development, hopefully it'll be worth the wait. Before that, however, i'm going to talk about a few more features for 1.2, as well as some post-release plans. If you haven't read the first part, read it here as it contains a lot of information regarding the major features arriving in 1.2. If you read it already, feel free to continue.

120 FPS 2009E!

One thing you'll definitely notice is that 2009E has been modified so it runs up to a full 120 FPS. 2009E allows you to change the frame rate using the following settings:

settings().Rendering.MaxFrameRate
settings().Rendering.MinFrameRate

As such we are able to get a full 120 fps experience out of it.

This means that users with high refresh rate monitors will get enjoyment from this change, even if it's only available on ONE client.

EASIER CLIENTSCRIPT CREATION!

Advanced users are now able to easily create ClientScripts by using the Client SDK's menu bar. You can place tags and variables where you want them, and you can even read the documentation. On top of that, the new ClientScript tester is unlocked, so you can view and edit it to your heart's content in the Client SDK if you want to learn ClientScript.

REWRITTEN!

Novetus 1.2 has been largely rewritten and reorganized under the hood for better stability and compliance with my current standards of coding. Although the entire rewrite process isn't finished yet (I still have to fix some codacy issues, there are some speed improvements I have to make, and a lot of the form controls are not renamed as of yet), the rewrite process is 95% the way there. It already is more stable than 1.1's launcher in its current state.

NOVETUS LITE!

Lastly, 1.2 offers a brand-new release option: Lite. Lite is Novetus 1.2, but with all the maps from the Finobe Map Pack removed to save space. This reduces the file size from 2.49 GB to 1.08 GB, at the cost of solo and server content to play and host. If you are limited on space, this is a good way to save it while not compromising Novetus gameplay.

POST 1.2 CONTENT!

Before I end this post, I need to talk about how where i'm taking Novetus after this release. As I am focusing on other projects, Novetus development will be handled a little differently.

- 1.2 will have "Content Pack" patches, which deliver more content such as items, maps, and maybe clients. These are faster to make, and as such they will come out faster than launcher updates. However, they do not change the version number. For example, instead of Content Pack 1 being 1.3, it will display as "1.2 + Content Pack 1". Map updates will only be delivered to non Novetus Lite versions, but all versions will receive Universal and Novetus Exclusive map updates and releases, alongside new items and other content.

- Launcher updates will increase the version number, as these updates take more time. Much of Novetus' development time was spent on the launcher, but I consider the launcher in 1.2 to be in a complete and finished state. Small features, changes, and fixes will be applied to the launcher, but there will not be as many large changes (one of these being the wrapping up of the rewrite) as recent updates.

Here's the full changelog for release 1.2!
