1.17 Preview Video (Patreon)

1.17 has been a lot of work! 

The big new feature is custom clothing, but some other exciting features have also been added. The video is a bit lengthy, and probably a lot more boring than previous videos because it is hard to quickly demonstrate some of these features in an exciting manner (sorry no dancing VR guy this time!). Here are the highlights of what 1.17 brings:

• Custom Clothing
• Custom Clothing Textures
• Eye Materials and Textures
• Atom Textures
• Atom Presets
• Clothing Presets 

When will 1.17 be released?

We discovered quite a few bugs and annoyances while making this video, some of which have been fixed, but some remain. Some can even be seen in the video if you look closely. There are also some issues with import of some types of clothing items that may or may not be addressed in this release depending on time. Given it's current state, we plan to take the rest of this week to polish up 1.17 and then re-evaluate if it is in good enough shape for release. This is one of those releases that didn't fit nicely in a 30-day window due to the giant feature of clothing import. We also took about 7 days to work on 2.X last month, so that was also a factor. The plan is to do some 2.X work each month to make sure progress is made on the future platform. We do our best to hit a monthly release, but it is clear this is often not feasible, probably much less so now that 2.X is getting some active work.

We appreciate your understanding and support! We can't wait to get 1.17 into your hands to see what the community can come up with.
