Engine v5.0.9

June 9, 2026

A patch to For Real.

3D models are now automatically optimized for better performance, with additional simpler versions used as they move farther away.
Objects built from connected moving parts now stay together during movement and animation.
Fixed a bug where players could repeatedly fall through solid terrain instead of being placed safely back on the ground.
Fixed a bug where heavy terrain edits could leave the ground non-solid on the server — players fell forever while the world looked normal. The engine now detects and repairs missing ground under players automatically, and reports it instead of failing silently.
Fixed a bug where leaving god mode could leave your character deaf to controls — interactions dead and jumps snapping you back to spawn until a refresh.
Fixed god-mode edits in busy worlds appearing to fail with a 30-second hang — saves now confirm immediately.
You can put the game in a box now: build a HUD around it, shrink it into a panel, letterbox it to a fixed shape — just drop <spawn-canvas> into your UI and style it like any other element
Card games, strategy views, retro consoles-in-a-frame: the 3D view is finally just another piece of your layout
Things can jiggle now! Set jiggle: true on any object — slimes squash when they land, tails and ears sway and whip on characters with dangly bones, signs wobble on their posts. Tune it with amount, bounce, and gravity.
Games with HUGE crowds are now real: armies, swarms, flocks of thousands of units that all think and move every tick
A runaway script can no longer freeze your game — the engine benches it for a few seconds and tells Savi exactly what was slow
Attach things to the right PART of a model — attachment: { socket: "muzzle" } puts a flash on the gun barrel, a hat on the head, a rider in the saddle. Savi names the spot; the engine finds it on the actual 3D model.
New getSocket lets scripts aim from those spots too — spawn projectiles from the muzzle, not from the object's feet.
Shadows no longer pop in and out when you turn the camera: objects behind or beside your view — walls, pillars, props, characters — keep casting their shadows into the scene.
Point and spot light shadows look noticeably sharper and softer-edged: shadow maps now use the free space in the shadow atlas instead of leaving it idle, and shadow edges get a proper soft falloff instead of a hard stair-step.
Preview thumbnails while a model generates now show a clean cutout of the object. White-ish objects no longer turn semi-transparent in the preview, and previews appear several seconds sooner.
