A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

IXE Version 59
2025-03-14 13:58 UTC · Community Announcements · Knuckle Cracker
- Fixed issue that prevented spirit ships from being in inventory when choosing max ships in the map generator. - Changed GetCreeperOnLine to return when it finds the first creeper on the line. - Changed inactive parts to not run controllers. Also changed them to not interact with creeper/enemies/sand/particulate. - Added support for "MSG_FrameAdvance". When RPL registers for this message, it will be called for every frame (not game update, but every frame refresh). - Don't show ship count on inventory button when available ship count is >= 10000 - Added "Create Editor Project" button the map
Version 52
2025-02-05 18:27 UTC · Community Announcements · Knuckle Cracker
- Reset manuallyEnteredEditMode on finalization to prevent console opening from triggering edit mode on a finalized map. - Cleanup up and slight performance increase in creeper sim.
Version 51
2025-02-04 14:10 UTC · Community Announcements · Knuckle Cracker
- Fixed bug in EmitCreeper. It was reading the current creeper value incorrectly, so it could pick up a value from the wrong map location. - Set 'manuallyEnteredEditMode' when opening console.
Version 50
2025-01-24 18:31 UTC · Community Announcements · Knuckle Cracker
- Changed SetCameraZoom RPL api to properly set the zoom so other UI elements know the new value. - Added Get/SetFCCell api (to get/set individual field container cells). - Added a button to script compilation tab in editor that will open the directory that the mission uses for custom units/scripts. - Added a button to the info tab in settings that will open up the log file directory. - Added GetUnitDirection RPL api. - Added Get/SetUnitBuild and Get/SetUnitAmmoSupply to rpl apis. - Updated RPL Destroy API to handle destruction of unit properly when the part is the root unit part. - Make RPL G
IXE Release 45
2025-01-16 00:42 UTC · Community Announcements · Knuckle Cracker
IXE Release 45 - Changed SetAmmo and SetAmmoMax RPL APIs to treat amt as a float rather than an int (the value internally is a float, the API was just treating it as an int). - Added "simpleconsumption" arg to PhantomBeamController - Compile global scripts as part of finalization process. This allows :once to run after a finalize in a global script set to run when paused. - Prevent exception in GetControllerArg2 rpl api when accessing non-existent key. - Don't force default interactions into a mission after a mission load. - Update sand dropper module "embers" button to read "EMBERS" - Moved r

Version 34
2024-12-15 15:43 UTC · Community Announcements · Knuckle Cracker
- Updated story18 "Horizon" so the factories can't be nullified. Also turned off physics for nexus. - Updated story16 "Turbulence" to ease off on breeder and particulate. - Added auto play toggle to help. - Don't save/load inventory placement hints in the story. - Ensure a timeout is applied when any apex ship, not just the first, is destroyed. - Changed spirit to not launch or return to an incomplete spirit ship. - Changed HI Res monitor scaling to work based on monitor height, not width. Only resolutions greater than 2000 high will trigger the auto-scaling. - Removed small text from the vide

- Reduced contained creeper block and removed sand from behind emitters in Ephemeral story mission. - Show mission title on mission completion dialog. - Save the inventoy build timeouts. - When closing the game menu, ensure the save/load pane is also closed along with it. - Fixed typo in "1st First Digimaker Kill" (double first). - Set first 4 story missions to have shield with correct LOS settings. - Fixed issue with LOS not persisting the losSandPassBits. This would allow a nullifier to work through shields after a save/load. - Fixed issue with close button appearing on top of key mapping pa
Creeper World IXE has been released
2024-12-12 19:48 UTC · Community Announcements · Knuckle Cracker
Creeper World IXE is now available! It has taken a few years, and a lot of code, and a lot more code, and some code to polish it all off... But at last I can share it with the world. Take on the Creeper in this new weird, pixel, sand, creeper, particle, ship, strategy, tower, oddball of a game. It was a blast to create, and I hope you have a blast playing and creating in it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44277698/473e0e6dc7ecbb5882e8dd0f9f9278d4c2e278de.png
