New development version of Boundless:

We have updated Boundless with our latest development build (originally referred to as the C++ build). This versions offers the latest features, best performance and will eventually become Boundless 1.0.

We aim to update the game every week.

Updates will include new features, bug fixes,optimisation and content iterations.

Note:

It will also include features still in development that are: incomplete, lack polish, use placeholder assets, and contain bugs.

There will be world wipes but we hope to do these infrequently.

Here is a list of features that are not in the Legacy version

New worlds: Includes inverted slopes and a more alien world.

Item props models added: meat, stick, seeds.

Mould block now uses foliage system to look extra soft and gross and spore-y.

1st Pass: Weapon and items rendererd in GUI and for drops with some placeholders.

1st Pass: Texture blending supported for newer blocks.

Added control remapping for chat, inventory, worlds menu, full screen and toggle debug info.

Emote animations. Type a / followed by the emote name in the chat window. Examples: /wave /shrug /laugh /yes /no /facepalm

World regeneration - Blocks modified outside of a beacon will be regenerated to their original states over time as long as players are not within their immediate vicinity.

Native support for DualShock 4 controllers on Windows

Grass/Soil block interactions now fully supported, with the 3 grass types being freely mixable with the 3 soil types.

Many, many new slopeable block types such as rock.

Many, many new craftable block types such as rock also (Recipes pending…)

Many brand new block types like mud, growth and thorns.

Legacy version of Boundless:

The legacy version of Boundless is still playable as a Steam Beta. If you are coming back to play the game, your creations are still preserved in the legacy version. This version contains all worlds originally released when Boundless was launched on Steam. This version is no longer updated and will be retired in the future but remains accessible for players whilst the development version is expanded.
