New shop with new products
Phew, we did it! The Coogelbahn shop now runs on a new shop system.
Why? Well, the old system was basically OK, but unfortunately offered few options for customization or the integration of other content (like this one, for example), and it also had its quirks and was cumbersome to use.
A major disadvantage of the switch: The customer accounts created in the old shop system are unfortunately no longer active and have to be created from scratch. However, I think that's manageable, since the move would have required at least reactivation of all accounts anyway.
New products
Of course, there are also a few new products just in time for the change, especially regarding the alternative levels.
The classic GraviTrax levels always have a hexagonal shape and I often found this uncomfortable and had to expand it with height stones to get the shape I actually needed.
So now there's a triangular-shaped plane. It's actually a hexagon, just with one hexagon shifted. Then there's the star plane, which has three outriggers around the center. And finally, a 3x2 plane. This one is narrower and elongated.
Overall, this may not seem very useful at first glance, but the added value only really becomes apparent when building, when less space needs to be planned for levels or the levels suddenly make completely different building strategies possible.
