Hey everyone!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I've uploaded the latest Odd Realm build, 0.8.22.0, to the beta branch just now. This update includes additions/changes to the fire and water physics in-game. I've also touched up the notifications a bit and added some new ones. There are also some fixes for a pathing lag bug related to issuing a attack or move order as well as a fix for not being able to assign a profession from 'none' in some places.



Here are the patch notes:
-Fixed an issue where item tracking numbers get cut off after three digits.
-Fires can now be started from props involving fire. This will only happen if adjacent tiles have flammable materials. If they're surrounded by stone, a fire won't start.
-Fires can now be started from lightning strikes when it rains.
-Settlers will now put out... Read more

Hey folks!

Just wanted to quickly let you know I'm running behind on the update so I won't be uploading until super late tonight or early tomorrow. Lots of great fire/water stuff added to this one. Sorry for the delay!

Thanks,

Waylon

Good day!

Really cool update for you today in version 0.8.21.0 on the beta branch. I know I'm uploading another beta build but the last build had some nasty issues. I wanted to submit this as a beta again so I could get some help testing it out before pushing to production. This time around I'm only going to focus on making sure this build is stable so I can move it on over to production in the next day or so.

NOW, what's in this build? I've essentially done a huge pass on the art of the terrain. You'll notice that there's an added tilt perspective to blocks. This is to make the world fit in with the rest of the game art.





Also, there are several new blocks for you to build as well as three new brick types to build with.

OH, and if you ever had trouble understanding what is on the layer your camera is... Read more

Hello all!

I've just uploaded 0.8.20.1 to the beta branch. This fixes a bunch of issues related to combat but also adds a new UI feature, health bars. The default has health bars display when in combat, below full health, or when SHIFT is held. There are some handy settings in the settings menu for you to change how and when health bars are displayed. Check it out.

As well, enemies will try to get to your settlers if there's no immediate open path by digging or breaking down obstacles such as doors and walls. Should make things a bit more interesting!

OH, and before I forget, dehydration/starving will now not immediately kill your settler but degrade their health. It's only when they reach 0 hp that they will die.

Here are the notes:
-Fixed a bug where entities may not attack when given an attack order.
-Fixed a bug where hold position orders could only be applied on the same z level as the camera.
-Fixed a bug where issuing a tame order ... Read more

Hi!

I've just uploaded today's new update featuring some cool critters. The build also contains a ton of extra items in addition to a handy entity highlighting tool which outlines all entities and shows their profession icon above them.

Entities should now appear on the map every few days whereas before you'd only get a few early on in the game. Keep in mind they will also leave after a certain amount of time if you don't tame them.

Speaking of taming, you can now tame every animal in the game and all entities can now fight. Want a Crab army? Sounds good to me. Want Rats to be your legion? Rad.

Here are some quick notes on the behaviours/benefits of the five new animals:
Dogs - Will seek out stealthed baddies in your settlement.
Sheep - Produce Wool daily.
Rats - If not tamed, will eat food and seeds in the settlement.
Snoots - Haven't given them anything special yet, but they will apply a poison once I add alchemy as a profession.

Hello! Happy Friday.

Just a quick announcement that I've moved the changes from the beta branch to production. Again, this update is not backwards compatible. Apologies for that! Working on mitigating the amount of times I have to push a non-backwards compatible build out.

The changes for this new build include:

Hey everyone!

This is a quick announcement that I've uploaded version 0.8.19.1 to the beta branch which fixes a few bugs that have been found from last week's update.

Note: This update has not been uploaded for OSX users yet. Apple has a new notarizing process that I'm currently figuring out. Hopefully this won't permanently slow down OSX builds but this is my first experience with this added step. Will try to upload that build as soon as I can.

Here are the notes:
-Fixed a bug where the loom, spinning wheel, and tanning rack could be rotated.
-Fixed a bug where props weren't being tagged properly. This caused certain scenarios to not replace names in dialogue.
-Only archers and warriors will train at the barracks now.
-Fixed a bug where destroyed training dummies weren't rebuilt.
-Fixed a bug where tiles were appearing as not visible black squares.
-Fixed a bug where the stone carpenter's table wasn't working as a requirement for the ... Read more

Hello fam!

I've uploaded the latest beta build which has a bunch of cool new additions. Sadly, I goofed and made a coding mistake which makes it so this build isn't backwards compatible AGAIN. Ugh. Apologies. I know losing your settlements sucks. Next time I'll be more careful about backwards compatibility.

As for what's new, I've added Tailoring and Leathworking as professions/skills. And you can also now build the Clothier and Tannery rooms which open up some jobs related to those. As well, you can now butcher animals using the Survival skill. This will collect meat, bone, and hide (if the animal has a hide) from the corpses of entities. I'm going to work on migrating animal herds for the next patch to help make butchering/leatherworking more of a viable resource.

Also, I've added in a new function to the build/plant menus which lets you filter blueprints by name/room. To use it, hold SHIFT and type out either the name of the blueprint you'd like to see or ... Read more

Hello from the frozen northern wasteland of Canada.

Version 0.8.18.1 has been pushed to the production branch and you can get all the goodies from the last several beta updates. Warning that, unfortunately, the new version is NOT backwards compatible. So you will lose saved progress. There was no way for me to avoid this as I had to re-write some core systems for the game to make improvements. I'm hoping this is a rare case and apologize for the loss of your progress.

Here is a list of all the stuff that's in this build since 0.8.14.0:

Hello!

Just wanted to let you folks know I've uploaded a hotfix for a couple bugs. As well, the build includes Some extra settings options. Here are the notes:

-Option to invert mouse scroll for the camera.
-Option to set max frame rate for the game. Helpful if you are trying to preserve laptop battery or don't want your laptop getting too hot (no guarantee!).
-Fix for plants disappearing at the end of each season (not including winter - winter will still remove all plants).
-Fix for a lag spike which would happen for certain games.
-Fix for a tooltip bug which occurred after equipping an item to a settler.

That's it!

Thanks!

Waylon
