Redirection

 
Redirection is now Open Source!Mar 8, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsAfter four years, I have decided to release the source code to Redirection, to allow for modding, source ports, and the like, You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/dan200/Redirection This release is inspired by id Software’s historic practice of open sourcing their games a few years after release (a practice they sadly no longer follow), and the vibrant community of ports and mods that followed in their wake. Like those releases, this code release still requires a retail copy of Redirection to run (currently 80% off here on Steam!), and is licensed under the GPL so that any changes people make stay available for the community. I’m excited to see what people do with it!

This update is focussed mostly on the Robot Arcade and features for Modders. Here's the full list of changes: New features Added a new Robot Arcade game: "Quest". Unlock Quest by completing the main campaign. Locked Robot Arcade games are now displayed with a padlock icon on the game selection screen. The button prompts for the built-in Robot Arcade games are now more helpful. Running Redirection with "-demo" on the command line now launches the game in a streamlined demonstration mode. This feature is used to exhibit Redirection at live events! Shortened the final cutscene of the main campaign. Added a message when completing a level with fewer than the allowed number of obstacles. Added one new achievement. Made some changes to support modders creating custom tiles: All tile types now support "alt" and "editor" models. Robot animation and sound maps now include additional entries for more control. The "animated" tile type now supports separate models, animations and particle effects when the tile is powered. Minor text fixes. Robot Arcade improvements Added a keyboard and a 2MB hard drive to the Robot's device list. This allows arcade games to accept keyboard input and to store save data. Because of the new keyboard device, the keyboard shortcut to reboot the Robot is now Ctrl+R. All functions in the io API can now be used to communicate with the user. The speaker device now plays audio at a higher sample rate. Also added support for sawtooth waveforms and a duty parameter for square waves. All error messages emitted by Lua APIs now have correct file names and line numbers. Renamed gpu.setColorMapping() to gpu.mapColor(). Removed some unused and undocumented functions to simplify the APIs. Changed the amount of memory available to the Robot to 512KB. Bug fixes Fixed Z-fighting during cutscenes on some GPUs. Fixed website links not working on Linux due to Steam's Linux sandbox. The links now open in Steam's built-in web browser instead. Fixed a few Robot Arcade methods which could crash the game if called incorrectly. Have fun! I look forward to seeing all your new Redirection levels and Robot Arcade games on the Steam Workshop!Redirection 1.1.0Dec 22, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsRedirection 1.1.0 is now live on Steam!

Here's the full list of changes: Changes Reversed the order of the final two levels in the main campaign. When publishing a mod, the Mod Editor now ensures that every level has a thumbnail and is completable. When publishing a mod with 4 or more levels, the Mod Editor will combine multiple level thumbnails into one to create the Steam Workshop thumbnail. This makes it easier to spot mods with multiple levels when browsing the Workshop. After publishing a mod, the Mod Editor will notify the user if they need to sign the Steam Workshop Contributor Agreement. Added a button to the Robot Arcade to browse Arcade Games on the Steam Workshop. Created a Steam Community Guide with information on creating Robot Arcade games. Progress on the "Master Builder" achievement is now based on Total Unique Subscriptions, so it won't go down when users unsubscribe from the mod. Holding Shift while pressing "Reset Progress" will also reset your Steam Achievements. Bug Fixes Fixed an occasional crash when reloading mods. Fixed the in-game music going silent after playing ~60 levels. Fixed the achievements "No Robot Left Behind" and "All Good Things..." unlocking early. Fixed being unable to continue past "Level Complete" message when using a Steam Controller. Fixed being able to rewind using a Gamepad when rewinding is disabled. Fixed "inverted switch" tiles activating when Robots pass over them in the wrong direction. Minor text fixes. I've been really flattered by the overwhelmingly positive response to Redirection this week, everyone seems to really enjoy rescuing Robots! It's especially great to see how many levels people have already uploaded to the Steam Workshop. I got into Game Development through modding communities like these, so it's amazing to see one forming around a game I built. I'm trying to complete every level that gets uploaded, and it's already becoming difficult to keep up! Thank you to everyone who's supported the game so far! In other news this week: Youtube Modding superstar Direwolf20 recorded a great little spotlight on the game yesterday.

You wouldn’t have to tell me that’s the point of the game to get me to help them, though, because it’s all in their eyes. They look genuinely terrified and/or helpless. I can tell this just from their blank expressions. Yes, I know they’re robots and that’s kind of impossible and no, I don’t care. You want to make sure the poor little robots get back to safety, right? Do you want to leave them there so they can rust into oblivion? Didn’t think so. …
