Hey folks,
I'm pleased to announce the return of our Winterfest Event starting on December 11th, 2015! The event will run until January 10th, giving everyone ample time to try out some of the new content we have in store this holiday season! More details will be revealed later next week, so stay tuned for further updates regarding the start of the Winterfest event!
Additionally, the Marble Blast Advent Calendar has returned for 2015! You'll be able to track theĀ Advent Calendar progress on this lovely little page here (go ahead, give it a looksie). Make sure you log in to the Marble Blast Website daily and visit your profile to claim your reward every day! There's possibly some hidden rewards in the Calendar this year ..
Lastly, I've also gone ahead and added a new tier of "Thank You", "Donation", and "Karma" achievements to the website to really honor those outstanding members that make our community as exceptional as it is. Keep up the great work, community members!
Best Regards,
~Aayrl

A quick update for our fellow Marble Blasters. If you are playing MBP 1.60, you'll be happy to know the Platinum Team is adding the Shader Engine in an upcoming patch. All Marble Blast Ultra, Singleplayer, and Multiplayer levels will be re-textured to the original texturing for your enjoyment.
Note that DTS Shapes are NOT part of the Shader Engine for this release; they should be complete for PlatinumQuest.
Custom levels support the shaders as well! You can make them yourself by adding textures with their respective specular and normal versions to the /data/interiors directory, so you end up with this:
textureName.jpg , textureName.spec.jpg , textureName.normal.jpg
For example:
edge_white.jpg, edge_white.spec.jpg, edge_white.normal.jpg
You can use paint editing programs, such as GIMP, Photoshop etc, or use CrazyBump for a quick method; it is 30-day free trial for Windows, and unlimited to Mac (as it's in Beta stage).
