Game Development: Pickling Brine

Post by jorb »

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

Image

New Implementations
-----------------------
  • Added Pickling.
    • Craft a "Pickling Jar".
    • Craft "Pickling Brine", and fill the jar with it. The amount of fluid the jar can hold decreases when items are placed in it.
    • Put Beetroots, Carrots, Eggs, Herring, Olives, Cucumbers, or Onions in the "Pickling Jar". Over some time they will transform to pickled versions.
    • Pickled goods can often be used in the same recipes as their non-pickled versions.
Key Fixes
-----------------------
  • Added support for having specific "Icon Settings" per buddy list category of players, meaning you can set specific notification sounds and settings for various buddy groups.
  • Custom clients can now save custom hotbelt configurations on the server.
Small Fixes
-----------------------
  • Redrew several icons, primarily under the "Production & Processing" and "Siege Equipment" build submenus, in 4x resolution.
  • Minimap icons for most animals now reflect their being alive or dead, and display and notification settings can be configured for either such state of being. (Requires an up-to-date client.)
  • The status of toggles are reflected in their icons, both in the action menu and if put on the hotbelt. (Requires an up-to-date client.)
  • Lumberjack bonus is properly taken into account for the Sawmill.
  • Construction object outlines now reflect the shape of the object being built more accurately.
  • All list-widgets are now smooth-scrolling.
  • Fixed a number of UI scaling bugs.

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

Today's Patch Items, for the fair price of $9, is the "Picklers Puck".

All Gold subscribers have been awarded the "Picklers Puck", free of charge.

In the Pipe
-----------------------
  • Again urging any custom client maker who wishes to stay relevant to get with the new rendering times. Support for the old resources will be dropped at some point.
  • 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 a lot of the UI work.

Enjoy!

Why can't we pickle cucumbers? That's the basic of what is known as a pickle.

Ooo this is very cool! Very good patch. And also separately, I really like the innovation with tagging friends with different colors and sounds. I hope to see more variations of pickles, or even compote, in the future

Let us butcher dead hearthlings and pickle their organs.
