Engine v5.1.13

July 8, 2026

A patch to Connection.

When your game's music code hits a wrong note — an unknown drum name, a bad pattern — Savi actually hears about it now, with a helpful nudge toward the closest real instrument. And "tabla" just works.
Games open behind a smooth veil instead of flashing a half-assembled world for the first second — the reveal waits until the scene has actually come together.
Holding Ctrl while scrolling in god mode no longer flies the camera — Ctrl+scroll is reserved for your game's own bindings (and your browser's), so a zoom binding doesn't fight the editor.
Box colliders on scripted meshes now sit exactly where the mesh is — an off-center shape (like a car whose body reaches forward of its pivot) no longer leaves an invisible wall behind it or lets players walk through its front.
Testing in your dev room no longer touches your players' real saves — dev gets its own save space (starting fresh), while your published game's saves stay exactly as they are. Shared world data (terrain edits, shops, chat) still flows from build to publish like before.
If god mode gets switched off in your game while someone is still flying around in it, they can now always land back into normal play — no more being stuck as a ghost until they reload.
The god-mode help overlay now tells you Ctrl is sprint.
Games can now have real, permanent leaderboards! Scores survive server restarts and rank players across every room and session — all-time high scores, fastest laps, daily bests. Time trials work too: mark a board as lowest-wins and the best time comes out on top.
Liquid marks (paint-a-pond terrain) no longer leave invisible ghost objects piling up on the server for every player who joins — and rooms clean up the ghosts left behind by older sessions on their own.
When a 3D model can't download, Savi now gets a clear "model failed to load" message naming the asset — instead of the game silently showing a placeholder all day with nothing in the logs.
Games that build asset paths with ${…} templates no longer try to download those half-written paths behind the scenes — the phantom fetch errors that spammed logs every session are gone.
AI-generated models with layered shells (hollow casings, double-walled builds) stop coming out with scorched-black patches — ambient shadows now bake from the surface you actually see.
Game scripts can now ask which room they're in: api.getRoomMode() returns "dev" in your build room and "live" in your published game — handy for keeping test data (scores, shop stock) separate from your players' while world data keeps flowing from build to publish.
When Savi looks at your game, she now sees exactly what players see — your color grading and glow included — so her verdicts on how things look are finally trustworthy.
Scripted materials that failed to arrive after joining a room used to silently show up as plain default surfaces forever — now the engine retries the handoff on its own and tells Savi exactly what went missing.
Editing your scene reuses already-built materials instead of rebuilding all of them, so edits land faster and smoother.
Players on slower machines no longer get trapped in a rebuild-the-world loop that ends in a disconnect — if the world falls behind, the engine recovers once and then backs off instead of thrashing.
When a terrain texture can't load, that layer now shows a neutral grey instead of hanging invisible or wrongly-colored — and Savi gets told exactly which layer failed and why. If the texture recovers later, the real look comes back on its own.
Transparent generated shapes (glass, paper lanterns, light shafts) render both sides again — translucent builds that turned inside-out (caps floating, fins splayed) snap back to their assembled look.
When a game hits its voice-generation limit, the engine now waits exactly as long as the server asks before trying again — instead of hammering the same request every few seconds for hours.
Savi can read each device's live render-quality state again (api.getClientHealth()), engine-bug reports include per-device health instead of nothing, and api.resetQualityLanding() actually resets a stuck quality landing — all three had been silently dead since mid-June.
Setting a rotation hinge on a character mid-game no longer makes them jump sideways — the object stays exactly where it is when a script sets or clears its pivot, and only turns around the new hinge from then on.
Pixel-art sprites no longer get permanently stuck broken when the network rate-limits during loading — no more whole sprite sheets squeezed into one tile, wrong-size buildings, or characters that ignore the lighting. The engine now keeps retrying politely until the art arrives.
Characters no longer blink invisible for a moment when turning or changing animation in 3D games with pixel-art sprites.
Fixed 2D characters turning invisible after walking between places — leftover 3D animation names can no longer hijack a sprite's animation and point it at an empty image.
