Happy Friday!

Oook. Lots in this one. Here are the notes:

-Fixed a few UI related errors happening under the hood. This would keep some windows from closing or working properly.
-The single layer overlay now slightly darkens layers not on the same layer as the camera rather than make them totally black.
-Fixed a bug where notifications weren't appearing for things like hunger, thirst, void sickness, drowning.
-Vertical paths and several other overlays no longer start activated when opening jobs, rooms, and other toolbar menus.
-Block surfaces will now no longer be obstructed by the single layer overlay.
-Room function auto-jobs now start with 'Items In World' by default. They also use the produced item as the default selected item, and start with a Threshold and Queue Set count of 1. This is to ensure players have to do as little as possible to get auto-jobs going.
-Fixed a bug where the auto-job threshold amount for Items In World ...

Hey there,

Here are the notes for some fixes I just uploaded. A couple save/load issues fixed in here.

-Fixed a bug where the main menu screen would still be visible after loading into a previous save.
-Fixed a bug where settlers were not doing their idle movements.
-Fixed a bug where the error popup window was not centered. >:|
-Fixed a bug where settlers could walk around after dying.
-Fixed a bug where the game could crash on save after issuing a move order.
-Fixed a bug where the season index wasn't being saved. This could cause some longer term season issues.
-Added top bar statuses for drowning and void sickness.
-Fixed a bug where workers could get stuck trying to path to a missing work point. This would appear as them standing around trying to get to a started job.
-Fixed a save/load bug related to entity diets.
-Added stone anvil prop.
-Fixed a bug where entities could get stuck equipping items.
-Fi...

Hello friends!

Thanks for waiting a couple weeks for this patch. I received so many bug reports and notes of feedback that I needed to take a bit longer to get this patch completed.

The main points of focus for the patch were entity state issues (starving, drowning, dying of thirst, freezing, etc.) and the room editing window. The state issues should mostly be fixed up, but I'm sure there will still be the odd occurrence of someone getting stuck, or bugging out. It's tough for me to find every little edge case during my own tests. It will get better and better as I address each bug report, so thanks for the patience with that stuff.

And, as for the room edit window, I've optimized it a bunch to not be so laggy. Plus, I've improved the feedback to communicate what players need to get a room working. i.e., if they don't have someone with the right skill in the room, don't have the right props, don't have an owner group assigned to a function, etc. I have...

0.10.0.2 has been uploaded!

Here are the patch notes:

-Tuned food and water items to give a larger instant refill.
-Optimized some UI elements to help reduce drops in FPS.
-Fixed a bug where settlers would not do life saving jobs. i.e., not build a torch when needing to warm up.
-Fixed a bug where job progress was being reset to 0 when an entity walked through it.
-Fixed a bug where plants weren't saving if an item was spawned on the same tile.
-Tuned plants to reproduce naturally at a slower rate.
-Fixed a bug where settlers couldn't find a heat source if it was too far away.
-Added the Warmed status for entities that have warmed up at a heat source. This reduces the cold tolerance for a brief period.
-Added the Wounded status which lowers entity energy at a faster rate. The intention is to have them sleep earlier to heal missing HP. Once HP is full, the wounded status goes away.
-Fixed a bug where entities with buff...

Hey everyone! Thank you for testing and reporting issues for the buggy beta build. It means a lot. I've just uploaded a new version with some fixes for various things.

I'm still figuring out an issue with pathfinding which makes it so entities always think they're in combat with underground enemies. I've temporarily disabled the underground tomb discovery to avoid this while I fix the real problem.

Before I list the patch notes, let me explain the next steps for beta. My main priority is fixing serious game breaking issues. There are a few but we'll get there. Plus, I want to fix a lag issue that's coming from the UI. The FPS drop some of you are seeing is from this. I'll need to optimize a few windows to improve frames. Once those bigger issues are somewhat out of the way, I'll focus on tuning/balancing, adding in disabled scenarios, and changing/fixing things that are annoying based on feedback. I know there's a progression issue with how Ancients unlock summo...

Hey gang!

It has been a while since I've posted anything regarding the game's development and I thought I'd take a moment to do that.

The next update 0.10.0.0 Sacred Scrolls is quite big. One thing that I really wanted to focus on for this update was progression. For a lot of the game's development, I've focused on systems to broaden the game's possibilities, and quality of life improvements to help user experience. I've largely neglected adding too much content because it's harder to add new systems if you have to make sure all the previous content isn't broken as a result. So, when I say progression, I mean two things namely: content (more blueprints, items, props) and tuning.
Alongside this progression work, I've also changed and improved how combat and taming works. Combat behaviour has totally been re-written as it was super frustrating and buggy. i.e., warriors not going to targets. Taming now works in a completely different way as players were getting confu... Read more

Hey folks!

Sorry for such a long period without putting up announcements. I had my nose against the grindstone trying to fix things in the game.

This patch has quite a lot in it. Take a look at the notes, check out the build, let me know what you think! :)


-Fixed a bug where palm trees were not maintaining the same position as their sapling.
-Changed entity name colors to represent their gender.
-Fixed a food/beverage reservation bug which caused multiple entities to go and try to drink/eat the same item. Fools.
-Cleaned up the top hud stats to be a bit clearer.
-Fixed a bug where populations could exceed the player set amount.
-Actually fixed right-side climbing for human children.
-Fixed a bug where death notifications weren't showing the cause of death.
-Tuned the Collect Water job to produce 3 water items and Wells to produce 5.
-Tuned daily item spawn for trees to... you know... actually have a chance to spawn items.... Read more
