Game Development: Spring Chicken

Postby jorb » Thu Sep 12, 2019 7:38 pm

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

Image

New Implementations
-----------------------
  • Added "Coltsfoot", spring flower, curiosity.
  • Added a new spring experience

Key Fixes
-----------------------
  • Added support for logging causes of claim destruction.
  • Added support for displaying realm authority objects in the realm screen. May be a little slow in updating initially.

Small Fixes
-----------------------
  • Fixed a bug causing unnecessarily patchy snow. Should work next winter if not before.
  • Cattails and Spindly taproots can now spawn in wintertime, although they are less likely to do so.
  • Animals now have more fat during winter.
  • Beehives should now visually shut down during winter time.
  • Wild Beehives no longer spawn during winter.
  • Added a bird cadaver for the roasting spit.
  • Ice blocks melt slower in cellars, though you may need to move them to get the effect.
  • You can no longer raise fishing nets from frozen water.
  • You can now hearth home with a Kicksled.
  • You now fall off Kicksleds if knocked out while on them.
  • Kicksleds should no longer side face if you use a combat move while on them.
  • You can now leash horses to mine beams.
  • Water striders should no longer spawn during winter.
  • Reindeer should be more common during winter.
  • Bird Nests have more eggs during spring.
  • The Claim Pole is always visible when you have yeomanry, regardless of knowing the inputs.
  • Fixed, or at least improved, a problem by which disassembled wrecking balls would give siege warnings.
  • Fixed a problem by which a frozen over vortex could still teleport you away.
  • Fixed a few problems with various object types (caves, docks) erroneously sinking into the ocean come spring.

As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $10, is the "Winged Cap".

All Gold subscribers have been awarded the "Winged Cap", free of charge.

In the Pipe
-----------------------

Enjoy!

what about all tree's having no seeds? what about underground tree's having no seeds ? hope this is not a mechanic where we only get tree seeds on certain season time, it's already hard to do credo's and having to wait weeks to get a seed sucks really bad.

Well, if food & level scaling is seriously flattened, there is a chance some (not all) issues with combat will be solved .

Any comment on viewtopic.php?f=48&t=66322 ?
It has been seriously negatively been impacting our little starting village. Also, are you dead set on your idea for the satistion rework? I think I might have a good suggestion later tonight for something alternative.
the proliferation of automation is the rot of this game, with the next worst thing being the filth that plays it (you, probably.)

W7 - Hermit
W8 - Co-LS of R'lyeh, Owner of the Hermitarium Knowledge Group
W9 - LS of Niflheim
W11 - Hermitage (named Niflheim)
W12 - Hermit -> some rando ass village i forgot the name of that i joined
W10,13-15 - N/A
