Solotility 0.2.5.4 Release

Publishing another version of Solotility, I did some massive changes to the Node Editor ( previously called Mindmap editor ). It’s no longer only functional for mind maps, I implemented some basic math operations to allow users to test value scaling and planning, also new “dialogue nodes” have been added to allow for creating dialogue-trees. A few other updates have been added aswell. Full update log can be read below. As usual, the application can be downloaded from here.

Now I really have to focus on Demox for some time… it’s difficult sometimes though since I’ve found it to be really fun working on Solotility! 😛
