Riven X 0.7 is now available. This release introduces fully functional implementations of the rebel tunnel and boiler puzzles. In addition, several levers and switches have been made operational throughout the game. Finally, significant engine enhancements have been made. See the release notes for more details.
I’m sorry that it took so long to produce this new version, but the amount of work done on the engine cannot be understated. I feel that, with a few exceptions, I now have a near final engine in terms of functionality. There certainly is room for a lot of optimization, but nevertheless I should now be able to implement the core gameplay puzzles much more rapidly.
The next release of Riven X will focus on exactly that. I will also try to produce more frequent intermediate releases, perhaps every 2 weeks.
I hope you enjoy this new build, and make sure to file bug reports for any issue you encounter!
