It’s hard to believe, but Gimkit Creative just had its 1 year anniversary. It’s incredible to see all the maps you all have built in the year since. Your creativity inspires us!
To celebrate, we wanted to push out one more update before the end of the school year. This update is pretty neat, bringing in 3 new devices!
But for now, we likely won’t be making any updates to Creative over summer break. So go enjoy your summer, and here’s to everything we’ll build together in the next year!
NEW: Damager Device
This device allows you deal a specific amount of damage to a player.
You can set a custom message to display on the activity feed for when a player is knocked out by the damage
Or go even more advanced with Blocks to apply a custom amount of damage
NEW: Camera Point Device
This device allows you to move the camera the another location on the map, detached from your player
Use this device to create cutscenes, security camera mechanics, or to highlight features/areas of your map!
NEW: Player Coordinates Device
This device allows you to detect when a player moves
For more advanced map-makers, you can also grab a player’s coordinates! We use this for Don’t Look Down & Dig It Up to show your height on the map
