Hello dear friends!

I've been working away on the Gwdir race and they are very close to being ready for the beta branch. I wanted to put out this patch in the meantime as it has quite a few performance improvements, but, most importantly, carrying behaviour improvements. Settlers were wasting so much time carrying inefficiently and I needed to address that. Settlers will now focus on items closest to stockpiles first, and you should notice they will keep animal enclosure stockpiles filled in a more reliable way too. As long as you have the haulers and items of course.

I'm working on a job which lets you designate items to haul immediately. As an example, this will make it so you could force settlers to carry items on the edge of the map over items right beside the stockpile.

There are a few tuning and bug fix changes for you to check out in the patch as well. They should make things a bit more enjoyable and less teeth-grindy.

Hello everyone!

I've started work on implementing the next race, the Gwdir. In addition to them, I'm adding some other fun things to the game. The Gwdir aren't quite ready to play just yet, but I do want to get some testing help for the other new things being added. Let's take a look at those!

Artifacts I want to start telling more of the history of Odd, and artifacts are a way for me to do this, but also give players more things to discover in the world.



Some items have the tag 'Artifact' and 'Can Be Studied' on them. These indicate that players can study them at the Library to unlock historical details and, potentially, new knowledge.

Regarding tags, I'm going to start using these more and more. And, I've made it so you can now search items by tag in the inventory list. Searching 'artifact' or 'can be studied' will only list ... Read more

Hello!

I just uploaded 0.11.0.21 and a day or so ago I uploaded 0.11.0.20. They include fixes for a few more serious bugs. Here are the patch notes for the two of them:

0.11.0.20 -Bug Fix: Some players had trouble saving their games.

0.11.0.21 -Bug Fix: Sometimes the unreachable job/item notification would not activate correctly.
-Bug Fix: Entities would not do jobs because less important jobs like hauling to stockpiles would reserve the items. This would cause entities to not eat/drink/build.
-Bug Fix: Entities would sleep on the ground instead of their beds.

Thanks to everyone that reported these!

Hello, dear friends!

The Timeless Tyrants expansion is now live! It introduces a whole new race to play in addition to a ton of other things. Let's take a look!

The Ardyn Race


Senectia
The Ardyn are a completely different race from Humans in pretty much every way. The main difference being that they don't need food or water to survive. Instead, they age much faster than all the other races. For them, every hour is equivalent to one day of aging for normal entities. This means that they die of old age (Senectia - an aging disease unique to their race) much faster.



They prevent themselves from getting old through a process called retroanimation. Retroanimation takes the life-force from one entity and gives it to th... Read more

Hey all!

This is hopefully the last little patch before Timeless Tyrants goes live. Thank you to those sharing bugs and feedback. That has helped out so much!

Notes
-Bug Fix: Some auto job settings/info would not update when changing rooms/jobs.
-Bug Fix: Floating trees. Ya.
-Bug Fix: Entities having multiple companions. I believe this was causing some extra issues with entities joining rooms properly.
-Bug Fix: Children weren't being added to the family tab in the entity overlay.
-Bug Fix: Manual saves right at the moment that the auto-save occurs threw an error.
-Bug Fix: Some entity scenarios weren't saving/loading.
-Bug Fix: Sometimes newly acquired Ancients wouldn't start their dialogue for being freed from an immortality tomb.
-Bug Fix: Sometimes names weren't inserted into dialogue text, appearing as {@0} instead of the name.
-Bug Fix: Auto saves could happen when selection input was active, and could cause issues.

Hey everyone!

This update includes mostly fixes and tuning, but I snuck in a new panel for rooms. It's part of the room stockpile panel. This panel lets you select who's hauling for a stockpile. By default stockpiles now pull haulers from the region (so, all player controlled entities with carry enabled). However, you can select a specific owner group to do the hauling if you choose. Additionally, the window will show a list of candidate haulers and why they may not be hauling for the stockpile.



Ok, here are the notes:

-Feature: Added hauler options to room stockpiles. This lets players change who is hauling items for stockpiles. By default, stockpiles will use the region as a pool for haulers, but players can change it to any room owner groups if they wish. Lastly, candidates will be listed and any errors for keeping them from hauling it... Read more

Hellooooo!

Long time no see. I have had quite the event filled last month, which includes my SSD corrupting and me needing to reset my desktop. So, I do apologize for the longer wait for an update! Also, sorry for the lackluster patch notes. I lost my patch notes on the corrupted SSD, but I did my best to create a new patch note list from memory. As you you'll see, my memory is apparently like a spaghetti strainer.

This patch adds in quite a few new content things. Lots of new blocks and props to build from things like sable, rutile, bronze, etc. But additionally, a new summon. Sort of. I guess it's more like a new spell? What I'm referring to is...

Archenthrall


This is a new status that can be applied to Ancients. It makes them extremely powerful, but it does make them less effective in void crafting and summoning. It's essentially... Read more

Hello everyone!

Version 0.11.0.11 is live! Thanks for waiting patiently on this one.

Tuning
I took a bit longer with this patch because I needed to make some tools to help me work on tuning. Tuning has always been an extremely difficult and slow process for me on this game. So, I figured it was time to dedicate hours towards making that stuff easier for myself. I've tuned a bunch of things in the update, but there's still lots of work to do, especially with late game progression.

There are some other great things in this update. Let's take a look!

Tracking, Notifications, Designations, and Control Groups


You'll notice a couple new buttons on the HUD (as if we needed more!) which are intended to clean up and organize some things. The inventory button has also been moved over there. I'm trying to group these various button... Read more

Good evening (or morning, or... day?!)!

Today's patch has some great fixes and tuning changes, but it also has some new rooms. Well, the Tavern won't be new to some of you as, once upon a time, it used to be a room in the game. But enough reminiscing! Let's take a look.

Tavern Room


It's time to re-enable this room as I am starting to feel like it has an actual purpose. That is, to improve the spirits (heh) of the masses. Right now, the Tavern has one job you can give it, and that's, "Relax With Drink." Entities will grab a drink, and go sit at a seat in the tavern, and refill their Will (happiness). I'm going to add a bunch more little jobs for this room. It won't just be this one job. But this is a start! There are even plans to have travelling bards which could come and play at your Tavern, but that's getting ahead o... Read more

Suuuper quick little post. Some folks found some game breaking bugs that I missed, so I thought I'd put out this quick hotfix patch.

The issues that were addressed are:

-Bug Fix: Entities would not eat/drink if they were alchemists and the player loaded a save from before the alchemist version.
-Bug Fix: Entities would not remove their hungry/thirsty status when at full hunger/thirst.
-Bug Fix: Entities would ignore eat/drink jobs to work.

Thanks to those that brought these to my attention. Have a great day! :)
