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

Hey folks!

I won't be putting a patch out today as I'm still finishing up some things. Apologies for the delay. Hope to be done early next week.

Here's what I'm working on:

I've added some functionality to rooms so they can have two types of occupants depending on the room. For example, the Animal Enclosure can have a Shepherd and Animals. The difference between the two, outside of organization, is that the Shepherd will feed the Animals and stock the enclosure with food and water. Each functionality is different for the various rooms and not all rooms have two occupant types. Another example would be the Tavern where a Host feeds Patrons.

I've also been working on two new rooms, the Well House and the Prison Cell. The Well House provides the ability to automatically collect water from wells. The Cell, which will be used a lot by the Ardyn race, will be used to store prisoners, as you would think. It will require a Warden (anyone with combat skills) ... 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
