Why is this release a joke in your opinion? Some explanation would help. I did not test it yet but I intend to try to speedrun it when the Archlinux package gets updated.
The link for the official announcement for those who missed it: https://supertuxproject.org/news/2016/09/25/0.5.0
So I tried the new release a bit. The run is mostly the same apart from a few things. The Yeti quick kill is now impossible with a small tux from what I tried, so If you miss it the first time with the big tux you need to restart the level before dying or it’s a loss of 30s :-/
The new running animation feels a bit weird.
The stability is a joke.The editor is a joke. And changes, like the now useless run animation, seeming as you can only run anyway.
You seem a bit too negative. I’m glad this project get some releases from time to time and I think the editor is a good thing. The french translation at least is a lot better with this release.
If you got crashes you need to report them upstream and I’m sure they will work on it as it’s quite a big deal.
They won't fix them if they are those that work like 10% of the time like some general crashes I found. And I wouldn't report it anyway.
There are loads, especially in the editor. Also they are mostly 10%-working glitches, and the devs HATE them.
