Yesterday we released some new features into JLI for beta testing (with many more to come!) We’d like to invite you to come try out the new content on www.justleapin.com and to share your comments over on the Forum.

The new stuff in this version (0.7.7):

Customize surfaces anywhere. You can now drag your uploaded Images, Textures and Videos onto almost any surface.

New space templates (Lost City, Treehouse, Cyberdeck, Monocle), and many new objects. Click below to sample the new Lost City template, or log in to personalize any of the new templates for yourself.

NEW FEATURES IN JLI 0.7.7

Customize surfaces anywhere. This is a lot of fun. You can drag your own Images, Textures, and even Videos to personalize almost any surface in your space: the walls, floors, ceilings, and other objects. You can also resurface separate parts of objects, like a sample character’s shirt or pants. To show off this functionality, we’ll be posting new YouTube videos on the Blog and Forum over the next few days – watch this space.

New space templates and objects. We’ve added a fantastic Mesoamerican arena (example: Premium: Lost City), a surreal Cyberspace world that’s nothing but Images and Videos (example: Medium: Cyberdeck), a Treehouse in the forest (example: Premium: Treehouse), a surreal and labyrinthine Stairway (example: Medium: Monocle), and several other brand new props, including a novel selection of Portals.

Improved movement controls. In response to user feedback, a number of controls have been added, including mouselook and acceleration.

Thanks for testing version 0.7.7!
