Note that this update is incompatible with your old save games and will automatically delete them. If you want to complete a game, do so before updating !
Also: Contains new screen resolutions. Check and correct your resolution in the options menu.
This big update contains tons of bugfixes as well as gameplay improvements and new features:
New procedural houses
New Building: Stone Hut (a smaller stone house)
Fixed: Buildings no longer continue to be built during the night (something I broke in the last update)
Fixed: Context/Pie menus should be proper again, with only one demolish action (again something I broke last update)
Fixed: New monster from last update should now behave as it was intended
Fixed: Kroburg Story code bugs
Fixed: A few buildings didn't show up correctly after the last change (e.g. tents). Fixed now.
Fixed: Construction sounds now turn off properly
Fixed: Construction tools now disappear when construction is finished on new houses
Fixed: Lights on hovels should work again
Fixed: Build bar tooltips should no longer linger around occasionally
Fixed: Visuals on new houses with corner frames are now correct
Fixed: Visuals effects on Endraville
Fixed: Construction sound effects fixed
Fixed: Repair/demolish work spots
Fixed: Tents should no longer spawn inside other buildings
Fixed: Stone house incorrectly linkes as wood house
A couple of smaller bugfixes in the code
Balance: Made Ziegwald (doomed) a bit more doomed
Balance: Made a certain flying creature a lot more deadly (it was way too harmless when it came to killing peasants)
Balance: Reduced the strength of the first kobold attack in "Children's Tales"
Added torches to the stone gate
A bunch of small visual upgrades, new animations, etc.
Smoothed pathfinding on some monsters
Considerable behind-the-scenes code updates/refactoring. This might break a few things. I've tested it, but you never know for sure.
Added support for 1680x1050 resolution
Improved construction visuals on some buildings (the others will follow soon)
Reworked a few levels to include new procedural houses (the others will follow soon)
Tents are now removed from the map when they are vacated
All levels are updated to new procedural houses
The remaining buildings also have improved construction visuals now
Villagers now have tools on some jobs
New procedural buildings have received a small performance increase (mesh combining, for the nerds) and should now be more performant than the old-style houses were. More performance improvements are planned but I need to solve an issue with the generator first.
Added tools to repair and demolish tasks
Slightly more interesting goblin behaviour
Improved pathfinding for the Hydra
Final-Final 1.8 Release Candidate ?
Getting ever closer to being able to release 1.8
Fixed a number of small code bugs with the new buildings
Fixed the missing construction dirt issue on huts
Final(?) RC
This hopefully last RC before the 1.8 release contains a bunch of bug fixes.
Next 1.8 release candidate
This update includes a few but crucial bugfixes. I still have a small number of bugs I know about that I want to fix, please test this version and report any bugs, we are close to the 1.8 release.
Fixed visuals effects on Endraville
Construction sound effects fixed
Repair/demolish work spots probably fixed (trying the fix)
Next Release Candidate for the 1.8 Update is on "testing"
If you are on the "testing" branch, you now get the next build that might become the 1.8 release. Please test it and report any bugs you find.
Balance: Reduced the strength of the first kobold attack in "Children's Tales"
All levels are now updated to new procedural houses
The remaining buildings also have improved construction visuals now
Villagers now have tools on some jobs
New procedural buildings have received a small performance increase (mesh combining, for the nerds) and should now be more performant than the old-style houses were. More performance improvements are planned but I need to solve an issue with the generator first.
Bugfix Update on Testing
This update is only for the testing branch:
BREAKING CHANGE - check and possibly set your screen resolution correct again
Fixed: A few buildings didn't show up correctly after the last change (e.g. tents). Fixed now.
Fixed: Construction sounds now turn off properly
Fixed: Construction tools now disappear when construction is finished on new houses
Fixed: Lights on hovels should work again
Fixed: Build bar tooltips should no longer linger around occasionally
Fixed: Visuals on new houses with corner frames are now correct

Tents are now removed from the map when they are vacated
Large Breaking Update - preview on testing
I'm getting ready to move into the 1.8 version, which is a huge update that will bring procedural houses to the game, meaning every hovel, hut and house looks different.
To make this possible, I had to rework how houses are constructed, control their appearance and even set the work spots for their construction workers.
Note that this is a BREAKING UPDATE - your previous save games will probably not work, and once I'm releasing it properly, it will break/delete your previous save games.
Since this has so much potential to break things, I'm releasing it on the testing branch first. If you feel like helping all of us to get this quickly, switch to testing and report any bugs you find so I can fix them.
