Since it's Valentine's Day, and this is my 50th news post (yay!), I decided to do something special for you guys. So, here it is: an open beta of MMSC5!!!
EDIT: I should probably tell you guys the controls:
*Hold Left/Right and click an object to rotate it
*Hold Up/Down and click on an object to resize it
*Hold Shift and click on an object to flip it
*Hold Space and click on an object to layer it (this doesn't work yet)
This serves three purposes:
1) You guys get to try out the game and make suggestions for improvements and stuff, and it oughta satisfy you for the time being until the real game comes out.
2) If ToastedToastyToast wishes, I can upload the source file there as well and he can re-program all the stuff that's not working (the mute button, the layering system, etc.)
3) As you remember, for MSC4 I held a competition where the winning scene got to be included in the preloader. I can now hold that competition before MSC5 is released, allowing the completed game to be published with the polished preloader rather than tacking it on later.
This of course leads me on to the contest itself. Make the best scene you can using the MSC5 beta version, screenshot it and send it to me. The best scene will be used in the preloader as with MSC4 (and you will gain credit for this). The deadline for entries is either March 1st, or whenever MSC5 gets released, whichever comes first. Get your entries in!
Happy Valentine's Day Newgrounds!
EDIT(18/02/2012) The latest version of the beta is up and fixes most of the issues you've raised so far. Play it here. NOTE: I will not be updating the beta again. This is it until I release the finished game. Just wanted you to see I am incorporating your feedback.

Lol, there is no difference between the previous one and this one :#
What is the point of a scene creator?

To MAKE SCENES. The clue's in the name, genius. And yeah, there are plenty of differences.
