Super quick announcement that I've uploaded a hotfix patch (v0.9.0.11) which fixes the season transition lock-up bug. Thank you to those folks which brought it up and sent me save files. You rock!

I will be uploading another fix over the next few days for other issues which have been brought up recently. Hang tight for that!

Thanks!

It has been a while since I've updated the production branch, so there's a lot that has been changed. Here are the collective patch notes if you're interested in seeing what's different:

Hey all!

This is just a quick note to give players some advance warning that I'll be moving the beta build to production very soon. Probably early tomorrow morning.

This new version will NOT be backwards compatible with previous versions. This means your current saved games won't work with the new version. Usually, I try to put out builds that are backwards compatible but it just wasn't possible with this one because it had so many low-level changes.

Anyway, I apologize for any lost progress and will try to avoid this in the future.

Thanks,

Waylon

Hey friends!

The time is here! This update has been quite the challenge for me. What started out as a rendering systems optimization re-write at Christmas turned into implementing the Tundra biome. Both were huge tasks for me, the former taking well over a month, and the latter another two! Thanks so much for patiently waiting for me to get this one out into the beta branch.

Before I explain the new temperature system, I just want to put out some warnings. First, this build is NOT backwards compatible with old saves. Second, the first few days of this will likely be fairly buggy. So, if you don't want to find bugs and report them, I'd strongly suggest waiting for this build to be tested and fixed up. I'll probably be putting it onto the production branch in a week or two. I already have a nice list of bugs which I wasn't able to get to, so I'll try to put out a hotfix patch this week for those and any that are reported.

Temperature. How does it work? What's t... Read more

Hello friends!



This is just a quick update to let you know the beta update for the new Tundra biome is pretty much ready to go. I'm going to push it live this Monday, March 30th. The only things it will not have are the new events/underground discoveries. I didn't have time to add those and will be doing so while the new update is in beta. So, those will go in to version 0.9.1.0.

Other than that, it has loooots of new goodies. My Monday post will have a more detailed breakdown of everything that has been added.

There will be a week or two of fixing beta issues and adding some new events for Tundra following this update. I anticipate this update having a lot of strange bugs/issues because it introduces a lot of new systems. After that, I'll move everything to the production branch.

Once this Tundra update is o... Read more

Friends!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with this update. I'm very close to putting this next version of the game out onto the beta branch.

This week I was wrapping up the temperature system and how it affects entities and the environment. I also updated a lot of the UI to better communicate weather, block temperature, entity temperature, and so on. Here are some gifs showing various UI additions:
