Hello!

Just uploaded the latest build which focuses on fixing a bunch of issues players were having. I'm still looking into some bugs regarding game load hang. I did also add a new event for the wilds which happens after a few seasons. I'm currently in the process of adding many more events and tuning previous ones. A lot of this week was focused on adding internal tools to do this more efficiently.

Here are the patch notes:

-Fixed a bug where Ancients, Void Woken and Void Imps could starve when migrating.-Added better warning that migrating abandons settlement.-Fixed a bug where entities weren't attacking with tools.-Made a change where pathfinding is...

Hey folks!

Just uploaded a fix for the water bug that people were encountering where settlers were dying of thirst. Sorry about this issue. Things should be back to normal.

Thanks,

0.8.10.0 Beta Update Notes

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Hey friends!

Just uploaded the latest build to the Beta branch. This one was mostly focused around improving combat but I did also add a new summon for the Ancients. This one is called the Void Imp. Void Imps are really good at mining and Ancients have used them as pets for hundreds of years. Ancients definitely look down on imps (moreso than any other races) and you'll often find them naming their imps absurd names as a way to degrade these little clawed beasts.

Void Imps don't eat or drink but they have very short lifespans. Around 20 days. You can summon Void Imps with Arcane Dust, a new item which you can craft with Void Shards and Bones.

Happy Friday folks!

I just uploaded 0.8.8.0 to the beta branch. I'm going to fix a few more things before pushing them to the production build tomorrow.

Also, you may be experiencing some bugs with old saves from 0.8.4.2 and before. That's because I didn't properly handle the change to age. So, you'd end up having all your settlers become children. That's one of the last few things I'm fixing up today to get into the prod build.

One big thing I've changed is the tutorial. It now has way more steps and is hopefully better at giving the player a sense for the game. There are several steps missing for it but most of the things are there. However, ...

This is a real small hotfix update to follow up with 0.8.8.0 as some people were having issues. As well, I'm forcing the tutorial to restart because the previous tutorial was so different and this potentially caused problems.

Anywho, thanks!

-Re-made the tutorial.

Hello!

This is a small patch to fix some problems people were having with settlers getting stuck. Should be fixed the next time you load your save. Sorry for the issue.

As well, I've moved around and cleaned up some of the hud in this build. There's also some little additions to overlays to show previous zones and rooms when placing different things in the world. Oh, and I've also fixed an issue where settlers were spawning all as one gender or one appearance type. Should be varied now.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hey there!

Wow. This build has been super intense for me to put out. Lots and lots of tiny design details behind this one. There are also a few things that I'm not even done and that's why this build is going to beta rather than production. HUGE disclaimer: this build might be buggy or questionable. There's just so many changes and additions that I didn't have time to triple check every detail. Apologies in advance if I break your game. : /

Mainly, this build is all about overhauling UI for rooms and various info displays. But it also changes up how Happiness works. Before, happiness was this very obscure stat that had a bunch of hidden values working in the background. Now, Happiness is a modifier on a brand new attribute called Will. Much like Hunger and Thirst, Will is a stat that starts at 1000. Happiness affects this stat over time, just like Metabolism affects Hunger. As the game progresses, Settlers will start to collect behaviors which affect their Happ... Read more

Hello!

Hope you're all having a great day.

Just uploaded v0.8.5.0 to the beta branch.

This version is, I think, pretty cool as it adds a lot to the survival aspects of the game. That being said, it also might be the least stable in terms of loading saves. I've added a few things but also changed up some previous functionality so I'm not 100% certain everything will load perfectly. I didn't have any issues with the several old saves I loaded but you never know.

So what's new in this patch?

First up is age. I've completely changed how settlers treat age. Before it was based on seasons and children were treated as a profession. Them being a profession doesn't really makes sense especially when looking at elders. Elders shouldn't be stripped of their profession just because they get old. As well, who knows, I may want a child who's a super warrior to show up and I don't want to limit that because child is a profession.

Wow, wow, wow. Wh... Read more

Hey super fam,

I've uploaded the latest version, 0.8.4.0, with the newest feature, settler Uniforms, to the beta branch.

*There are new tutorial steps for this feature. You can reset the tutorial from the settings menu if you'd like the game to explain it as you go.

What is this new Uniforms thang?
A lot of people have expressed that equipping settlers is tedious. The Uniform feature is a way around the micromanagement and monotony of going through each settler, one-by-one to equip items and gear.

Here are the important terms to know:
Gear Set - a loadout of items that Uniforms use to determine what settlers should auto-equip. Many Uniforms can use the same Gear Set.
Uniform - a preset which determines the items settlers need to equip based on Gear Set and prerequisites. There are three prerequisite categories: profession, selection group, and individual.
Profession Uniforms - settlers will equip items from this U... Read more

Hello!

This is a small update to fix a memory leak which was occurring with UI text. Though, it may not be the fix for every mem leak in the game, this one is huge and should help with a lot of crashes.

Thanks,

Waylon

Howdy!

Today's update focuses on our trusty companion, the tooltip. I've also updated some other UI elements such as the workstation window to communicate things a bit better. This patch also includes the changes from the beta branch version 0.8.2.0.

Here are the notes:
-Fixed incorrect seed/item inline icons for cherry corn, chaga fruit, plant fiber, sweet root, stoneleaf, and skyberries.
-Stoneleaf will now drop husks when harvested rather than when cut.
-Fixed a bug where workstation blueprints would have 1 frame of showing incorrect default info.
-Updated blueprint, prop, plant, tree, block, item tooltips to show:
-Health/toughness,
-Item yields for deconstructing/harvesting/cutting/logging/mining,
-Rooms that may require the blueprint object,
-Permitted seasons (planting),
-Hours to maturity (planting),
-Season yield (i.e., apple trees).
-Decay rates.
-Container permitted items ... Read more

Hey folks!

It's me, I survived my travels and am back to provide you with that sweet, sweet Odd Realm goodness.

This update has a new priority utility option which has been requested for many moons. Here's a rundown of how it works:

-There are four states for a job priority: 0, 1, 2, 3.
-States 1 - 3 simply determine the order in which a job will be completed, where 3 is the most important and 1 is the natural default for all jobs. 0 on the other hand, will never be completed and is useful for planning.
-Job priority setting works in concert with all skills. So, if you set the priority for a mining job to 3, your laborer will focus on that over the harvest job they may have been planning on starting.
-There are two methods of setting priority: through the utility options menu or as you set the job. When placing jobs, you'll notice four colored boxes right above the tool bar. These determine the current priority for the job you are placing. Whereas... Read more
