2026-07-18 · interactions, quests, and branching dialogue

• Added authoritative press/hold interactions with nearest-object focus, cooldowns, once-per-player use, an in-world prompt, and a remappable E-default Interact control.

2026-07-18 · advanced player movement and camera follow

• Added authoritative acceleration/deceleration, air control, coyote time, jump buffering/release, extra and wall jumps, wall sliding, bounded dashes, moving-support velocity, and maximum fall speed.
• Added a remappable Dash control (Shift by default) and protocol 18 held-jump/dash input plus controller snapshot state.
• Added presentation-only Camera follow with viewport, zoom, dead zone, directional look-ahead, smoothing, and world clamping.
• Legacy Player controllers keep their immediate movement, original snapshot shape, and existing physics validator hashes until advanced movement is enabled.

2026-07-18 · advanced physics construction

Current

• Added capsule, convex polygon, offset, compound, one-way, and collision-filtered Colliders with density and full Workshop ghost editing.
• Added dynamic/kinematic Rigidbody modes, damping, continuous collision detection, and bounded Motion for moving platforms and rotating obstacles.
• Added fixed, hinge, spring, rope, and slider joints; ordered contact events; and server-authoritative impact Breakables.
• Added protocol 17 contact events and optional Breakable health. Physics stays pinned to Rapier 2D 0.19.3, while unchanged projects retain AABB 1 compatibility.
• Added ready-made Moving platform, One-way platform, Rotating obstacle, and Breakable crate pieces.

2026-07-18 · rotated colliders and angular physics

Current

• Added authoritative rectangle/circle collider shapes, independent collider rotation, friction, and bounce.
• Added opt-in Rigidbody angular motion. Circular bodies can roll and objects can slide on rotated slopes under pinned Rapier 2D 0.19.3.
• Added protocol 16 angular snapshot state. Legacy projects keep axis-aligned, rotation-locked behavior and their existing physics hashes.
• Added ready-made Slope and Rolling ball Workshop pieces; Test Rift uses the target Rapier adapter.

2026-07-17 · creator platform expansion

• Added generated property, event, error, limit, asset, and compatibility references.
• Added Audio Source and presentation-only audio.play() / audio.stop() under protocol 15.
• Added approved immutable PNG/WAV references with private moderation workflows; public upload gates remain off until operational readiness.
• Added richer catalog search, filters, views, creator details, reports, and deterministic related Rifts.
• Added RiftScript 1.1 typed values, functions, entity queries, timers, signals, and bounded prefab spawning.

Existing riftscript 1;, project schema 1 migrations, bundle format 1, AABB physics 1, and Rapier 2D 0.19.3 compatibility remain supported as documented. See migration guides before opting an existing source file into newer language features.

Published versions are immutable. Additive authoring features receive a version badge and checked example. Incompatible clients and unknown future data fail closed; PixelRifts does not guess or execute creator JavaScript.
