Game Development: Duckwall

[jorb]

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



New Implementations
-----------------------

• Added "Duck"s! Mallards placed in coops may come to lay eggs, and those eggs will be "Duck Egg"s, from which "Duck Drake"s and "Duck Hen"s hatch, by way of "Ducklings". Feathers, eggs, and meat. Will add "Ugly Duckling"s at some point.

Key Fixes
-----------------------

• Thingwalls displaying their tooltip will now show their connectivity to other Thingwalls. In adding this we had the opportunity to extend generically the support for providing additional information through map markers. You may have to see a Thingwall again to update the resource to unlock this cool new info.

Small Fixes
-----------------------

• Map marker information should now be properly invalidated when relevant, and there should be no need to reload/reload to refresh them.

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

Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $7, is the "Sailor Duck's Cap".

$7 Who never, never starts an argument? Who never shows a bit of temperament? No one, but... !

All Gold & Silver subscribers have been awarded the "Sailor Duck's Cap", free of charge.

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

• Our primary development direction is toward object-controlled-objects.
• Time to... like us on Facebook?
• Time to... follow us on Twitter?

UPDATE YOUR CLIENTS... for cool new map stuff.

Enjoy!

Cool?

Two questions...

Is there a Golden Duck Egg? Or perhaps...a Golden Goose?

And second, why did you neither feed nor water your ducks in the announcement image...

this is a metaphor, the ducks are the player base and the coop is the game

Client broken?

[xyzzy57]

Shouldn't ducks require a duck pond?

[fatfunnyvalentine]

I see the ducks are wearing hats - are tamed ducks able to be kept in a safe fence in the way of sheep, cattle, etc? Or would they fly away like doves, or despawn like chickens?
