Here are this week’s updates in Goo Create and Goo Engine (there's a lot of them):
New and Improved UI: A major overhaul of the UI design has been made to make the whole design more consistent and intuitive. Creation and publishing are in the top middle, project related menu items are in the top left and tools, help and user options can be found in the upper right corner. The hierarchy list is now properly sorted alphabetically and arrows and dots have been added for better feedback on what entities are children of others. Menus and dialogs are now consistently displayed as pop-overs. Hiding, browsing for, and importing assets are now easier with new big icons.
Improved Project list: Projects are now displayed in a neat list for easier browsing. You can also add tags to your projects to find them even easier.
UI Color themes: There are now two UIs to toggle between in the lower right corner of Create. Choose between working in a dark or a bright workspace to fit whatever mood or environment you're in.
New and More Powerful Asset Library: Any asset can now be saved into the asset library for import into another project. Save your favorite scripts, sounds, skyboxes, textures, materials and state machines for import into new projects.
When duplicating an entity, the clone will now share materials with the original. A button has been added to the material component to copy the material.
In the export tab the direct link to your project will now always redirect to the latest published version of your project.
The HTML component will now fade when selected so you can properly reach its gizmo and move it around.
The animation panel has been made more intuitive with an added checkbox for making an animation loop forever or a desired amount of times.
Added a link below the screenshot to the full-size image.
When two assets are created with the same name through import or duplication, a number is added to the name to easier tell them apart.
UI and grid settings are now saved locally to make it consistent across all your projects.
When deleting an entity, its assets are no longer deleted with it. To get rid of unused assets, click the gear icon over the asset list and use the "remove unused assets" function.
Added buttons to the timeline to create and remove keyframes, and timeline channels are now automatically activated when adding keyframes to them.
Moved canvas size into the project settings under the "document" component.
Fixed an issue where HTML components would carry over into a new projects canvas.
Fixed an issue where snapshots had an incorrect timestamp.
Due to performance restrictions the texture offset sliders have been removed from all texture channels except diffuse, offsetting the diffuse will offset all other texture channels as well.
Optimized saving process to make sure all changes carry through when publishing.
Mouse pointer location is now correctly calculated even when having zoom activated in your browser.
State machine states can no longer link to themselves.
Fixed an issue where the browser would crash when creating a really long timeline.
Fixed an issue where replacing an image in the scene wouldn't update with the new image’s pixel ratio.
Camera entities' frustums are no longer affected when changing the size of the entity or parent entity.
Fixed an issue where the timeline wouldn't return the user to the editor cam on stopping the scene.
Fixed an issue where the tween opacity action would sometimes cause other entities to disappear.
If you experience weird issues with this release, please make sure you've cleaned your cache from old data. Do this in Chrome by pressing Ctrl+Shift+R (or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). In Firefox press Ctrl+F5 (or Cmd+F5 on Mac).
