Weekly Update #7 - 2018.03.11

Added 2018-03-11 14:20:53 +0000 UTC

With the new pathfinding in and working despite a small bug or two still to be addressed, I have started working on adding some new features in. First up and already well on its way is building (structure) saving and loading. This is being worked on largely for two reasons. One being Steam Workshop integration which may still be a ways away, but is ultimately something I hope to integrate heavily into crafting, building, quests, points of interest, avatars, even voice packs, cooking recipes, the more the better! The other main reason being to give NPCs (non-player characters) a quick place to live.

In the near future I will set things up so that players can design and build their own structures to house NPCs, but getting preset buildings in is a necessity for Steam Workshop integration anyway, and an easy way to be sure that a building is "complete" enough to house whoever we're summoning.

In order to be sure that I don't just run off and develop whatever is it I like, I've setup a short 1 minute survey to help me better judge what it is our community it looking forward to over the next few weeks. I will try to run a short survey like this every once in a while, and would appreciate it if you've got the minute to fill it out!
