Odd Realm Dev Tracker

@hola_soy_luis, thanks for the feedback. Many players really enjoy building underground dwellings, and I think it would be a mistake to punish them for wanting to pursue that type of base. If players want to make a mountain home, that's great and they should have the creative freedom to do so without me trying to force them to make what I want.

I prefer to have pros and cons to the two types of bases that balance out. For example, building on the surface is safer but costs more resources. Building underground, you have the chance to open a hostile dungeon or den but it's easier to get rooms up and running. Both have interesting dynamics, and I think that makes the game fun.

They move faster on ladders. Would have to see your save file to see if there is a bug as I'm not seeing any issue on the current build.

I think there is some confusion here. I have yet to add a new font to the game. Above I was stating that I have a plan to implement two font options, one being the default current font, and a second optional higher res one from the settings menu. I have not started this though.

Now that the beta version 0.7.0.10 is out, I thought I'd write a little tutorial about rooms. I do plan on making a tutorial this next week, but this should be a good start to help you out if you're confused.

Room placement works pretty much how it did before, but now there is some added settler behavior and UI.

Room Size - This will determine how many settlers can be in your room. For every 3 tiles, you can have 1 Settler. A 3x3 Bedroom will house 3 Settlers.

Professions - Workshops will now require the correct profession to be used. No one cooking your food? Does the workshop have a cook? If not, you'll need one. Having the skill toggled on isn't enough.

Room Settings - You can click on a room to open it's settings window. From here, you can change who owns the rooms as well as designate items.

Item Designation - Right now, the Tavern is the only room that uses this. This determines what items you want people to be served at the Tavern... Read more

STEAM:
Note: Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed for old saves loading in new beta versions.
1. From the left panel on the Library>Games page in Steam, right-click Odd Realm.
2. From the drop-down menu, select Properties.
3. Select the top tab Betas.
4. From the drop-menu, select beta - Public test branch.
5. You won't need an access code, just close the pop-up window.
6. (Sometimes) You may need to exit and restart Steam.

The client should start downloading the beta branch build.

ITCH.IO:
The beta build on itch is just another file with '_BETA' appended to it. If you want to download that file of the game instead of the regular one, follow these steps.
1. Open the itch app.
2. Select Odd Realm from your library.
3. Click the gear button beside 'launch'.
4. You'll see a list of available files to install. Select the one for your operating system that says, '_BETA'.

Could be a bug! I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads up. :)

@Anastriana Oh, absolutely. What I'll probably end up doing is having two optional fonts. The higher res one would be off by default and you'd have to change to it through the settings window. Though, some languages will likely have it on by default because they naturally require large letters due to accents and complexity.

Sorry the text is so hard to read for you! This is definitely on our list of to-dos. It's a result of having a game with such low resolution graphics. Hope to get something better into the game soon!

There's a bug with the tutorial which can hide buttons. (Working on a fix for this) You can show all the buttons by disabling the tutorial from the settings window. Sorry for the issue!

Hey folks!

Thanks for all the feedback and info on bugs/crashes/issues. You are all fantastic! :)

If you ever get a serious bug that is generally pretty hard to reproduce, it will help me out a lot if you send your saved game folder to: [email protected]

Save folder locations:
Location on Windows: C:\users\you\appdata\locallow\Unknown Origin Games\OddRealm
Location on Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Unknown Origin Games/OddRealm
Location on Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/Unknown Origin Games/OddRealm

You can just zip up and send me the entire odd realm folder.

Getting this folder is immensely helpful for me finding and fixing bugs that you experience.

Thanks again,

Waylon

Unfortunately, there isn't a teleport command. You can type 'Invincible True' to make them not starve, then 'Invincible False' when you've rescued them.

Mushrooms are the only thing you can plant without some sort of sky light source. You can build a 3x3 light shaft into your underground base to allow other plant types to grow. Though, all your crops will die at the beginning of winter. Once we add a temperature system to the game, we can do fun stuff where underground crops survive through winter. But, right now, be careful.

Thanks! :D

Thank you! I charge $10 USD because it's just me and I don't really need that much money to get by. I would rather people be able to buy it and have fun. :)

Thanks for your support, friend. :)

Working on scale stuff right now. :)

Amazing suggestions and feedback everyone. I'll be going through all this and adding some great changes. So many suggestions that it will take me ages to go through one-by-one to answer, but rest assured that I pretty much agree/like all them. :)

@Lexi, I am working on a zoom atm. Hoping to get that in soon!

Thank you!

Varis, have you put zones on your wood crates and bins? Settlers won't put things in them until you do. Let me know. :) Cheers.
