The big tool this version is the Auto Lightmap Tool, which static lighting users should love.
I also have a few big quality-of-life changes in here for those of you who are using Scythe in production. I prioritized some things to make sure Scythe wasn't so annoying in some areas. Thanks as always for the support!

Even though this is a minor patch, a lot of crash fixes and refactoring was done, especially in the hotspot editor. Sometimes refactoring comes new crashes or regression, so report any in the discord.
Also this is the patch that introduces 5.6 support to Scythe!
Massive update to UV/Texturing in this one. This is probably about 2.5 months of work, as I was working on this a bit right before I had surgery back in November. I've also attached 2 hotspot textures to play with (by Nick Creecy)

A more advanced tutorial where I start from absolutely nothing except materials and we make an apartment hall.

This is meant for complete beginners who are just opening Scythe for the first time. I walk through how to make a few different rooms by blocking them out, then finish with basic texturing.
I'll be re-making the beginner tutorial probably every few versions, so if you're still struggling in an area, let me know in the comments so I can improve.

Here's a getting started guide on how to make rooms in various ways, then I show you how I make a hall with a door to a room and texture it all.
I realize I need a better mic.

Scythe isn't production ready yet, but here's what it's currently capable of and also some of its downsides so you see what the limitations are.

Showing the progress thus far on the block tool. If you're watching this and thinking "but it's not 1999, we don't make rooms out of blocks". You'll be able to do this with single plane rectangles (quads) as well. You can also just make a block and invert the normals too.

No special materials used, the UVs are all auto-world aligned to grid.

Boy this is a useful one. I added a way to maintain the aspect ratio so if you want to just stretch a wall to fit perfectly vertically, it'll keep the ratio and look beautiful in all directions.

It's still quite limited to what you can do right now, as this is all technically one mesh being extruded and sliced up, but it's still pretty fun and cool so far.
Cool what you can do with just a few working tools. Still a long way to go.

Some may not care about texel density, but I think it's important to get "close enough" to what the size should be on a face when you first apply a texture.
If you were making a minecraft-like game with 16x16 textures, you'd set your texel density in Scythe to be 16 pixels per 1 meter and it'll all just work based off of that. A lot of things will rely on texel density in the background, ...
