Thanks to all the votes, the game's logo has been decided, and is now animated in the game as a new transition!
This didn't take too long to make, but was definitely interesting to deconstruct into animatable parts.
Pretty cool, don't you think?

Naming these memberships in the game's Wi-Fi Tier system is fucking awesome... XD.
Each one is a satire, centered around how internet companies label and categorize customers.

Mini update: I added rotation sensitivity. Now draggables respond to your mouse direction.
Yes, the clip is muted. I was listening to a show while working, and I don't want to get a notice...

With the settings in place and the animation system upgraded, here's a look at how the interface feels so far, along with some of the new changes.
Drag & Drop: There are 2 new animations when picking and dropping.
Settings: FructOS settings are working.

When you start up your machine, you have to boot it up, right?
I gave FructOS a boot screen and a little ping when it's done loading.
Pretty cute. And yes, the progress bar is that jittery by design, to emulate a real one. It's randomized.

FructOS Update:
Level Select - Drag a level from the playlist and drop it on the select tab.
Settings - Adjust the window, graphical, audio, and themes in FructOS (coming soon).
Themes - Some themes make the background react to sound, like the default in the clip.

In Bandwidth, the Main Menu is a fake operating system called FructOS, which behaves in an environment similar to macOS.
I wanted to replicate the dynamic UI animation to allow natural UX. So, I made a CSS-like animation system for the motions to be made!

Sneak peek into the new Main Menu design coming to Bandwidth :).
I updated the window sizes and base style to make it feel more like an OS. I even gave it a new taskbar on the left for Levels, Skins, Wi-Fi Providers, and Settings!

A look at the list for what's needed for the editor to be complete, AND one of the newest functions added: Group Replication.
The parenting order of the original objects will be applied to the duplicated objects.
No need to regroup everything!

The new Property Instruction system is working! Objects now allow instructions for visuals and actions/states!
The system supports ANY custom instruction, such as "Boss_Attack_State", "Collected_Value", "Play_Animation", etc.
This allows flexibility for future items!

I updated how objects are visually defined in the game! I can now use a set of properties and rules, and even create new rules later and define their instructions!
This system also extends to objects like triggers, bosses, collectables, and so forth!

I upgraded the Search Filter in the editor to have Fuzzy Search!
The search will now GUESS what you're trying to type. It no longer matters if you misspell a word or leave it incomplete!
It's not case sensitive. The game just auto displays it as capitalized.

I updated how the path playback system works! Now it plays back the path CONTINUOUSLY, until it reaches the end of the path or the song.
This is much more useful than the original section-based system, which didn't work well with smaller path lengths.

Progress update on the editor. We now have the Properties panel.
The panel is used for editing and modifying objects, including triggers or mechanics.
I think I'll also deprecate the Sync Editing panel since Properties covers that too. It's just context-aware.

A sneak peek at the new Building Block panel for the level editor.
In-game, you'll be able to see a drop-down of all parts, search by name, and/or filter by type.
To place a piece in the level, select the type you want, then click on a surface or in the air.

I had to thin the cube some, but honestly, it kinda works!
I thinned it so the trail aligns with the end of the player. Otherwise, it misaligned and looked weird.

Here's what they look like in the game. I had to make an upgrade to the game's Diffuse shader.
Now it has support for multi-layered colors, which come in handy for aesthetic and object styling in the level editor.

Something I worried about was having my game resemble Dancing Line, mainly because of the concept of drawing a line itself.
The line concept isn't novel, but I wanted mine to feel like a signal traveling from your modem to a web server, so I made it resemble a cable plug!

Editor Update: I changed the gizmos from sprites to meshes as the resolutions weren't pleasing to the eye.
In case you're also wondering why the rotation rings are squared, there's no gizmo to show rotation changes. Without them, rotation changes would be hard to tell on round rings.
