Game Development: Spring Chicken

[jorb]

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



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".

$10 Your imagination may well grow wings and take flight, capped off with the Winged Cap!

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

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

• We have begun, and are primarily, working on a combat rewrite.
• We are considering a Food & Level Scaling rework.
• The main dev focus is the client rendering rewrite.
• Time to... like us on Facebook?

Enjoy!

Looks like a nice small update. Was hoping the food/state change would happen this update, love the idea.

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.
