Everyday Life Edengrall
V0.40.1.0 on Nightly
Added 21 new stone pieces
Press T to lock the grid and enable bird eye view for easier building placement
Added LOD Bias to the graphics configuration window. Lower values means the low fidelity mesh appears earlier. This also affects trees
Changes:
First round of LOD for 3 the city buildings as a test
Known Issues:
The bird eye view can get stuck on walls very rarely, press T twice to toggle it on and off again to reset it.
Friday Progress Report 256
Bird eye mode can be activated with T (rebindable), it allows building tall buildings without having to climb or move Adam at all.
We also added 21 new pieces, mostly large tower, these are some of the last stone parts, there are a few still missing, they will probably be ready by next week.
Large tower has 4 meter radius, enough for a decent room, it is the last tower size, at least for a long while. We are also working on buildable crop tiles, they should be done soon (only waiting for the implementation, model is done)
These will be up today in the nightly build.
The selection mode is also almost done, but it won't be on today's build, maybe next week. After the selection is done then copy and paste will be implemented.
We are also finally setting up the LOD models for the town's buildings, this will greatly increase FPS when outside the city.
Friday Progress Report 255
Large tower pieces form a 4 meter radius circle, big enough to be a room, we also modeled buildable crop tiles, so now you will be able to build farms anywhere, the functionality will be very similar to the small crop tiles from vases, so it is already half-implemented.
We want to release this update midway through June, it will have full Workshop support for uploading/download buildings, as well as the fix to the database that stalled the creation of sample mods.
V0.40.0.5 on Nightly
Fixed area placing for offset pieces
Fixed offset pieces using twice the offset when placing
Fixed fixed grid mode (yellow grid, toogle with L) changing it's height to the nearest grid
Fixed loading the game breaking the code for jumping out of the water
Changes:
Changed the color of the base grass, reduced saturation by 40%
V0.40.0.4 on Nightly
Fixed the bug report tool
Fixed water splash ignoring volume settings and never ending.
Fixed severe issues with crops (breaks save, it was using leftovers from the old xml database system)
Fixed small graphical issues when building
Fixed berries not respawning or respawning on loading from a previous day
Fixed items having no prices
V0.40.0.3 on nightly
New 45 building pieces including:
-Clay roof tiles with dark wood frames
-Stone Medium tower parts (2 meter radius)
-Stone Castellations
-Stone Ramps and Stairs
Changes:
Rewrote how the XML are read, this will ensure future save modding compatibility, but it is also incompatible with previous saves.
Made so new crop tiles will have their starting water level equal to their target water level (river tiles will start at 30 instead of starting at 20 and moving towards 30)
Bugfixes:
Fixed a rare null pointer with the hoe
Fixed offset pieces not replacing
Fixed offset pieces ignoring ground collision
Fixed an issue with the connection preview when there were too many connection points
Fixed a zfight issue caused by placing the building grid on a perfectly flat ground
Nerfed the bounce when NPCs face to talk to you
Fixed small UI errors in the building screen
Known Issues:
Save Is not compatible with previous versions
Friday Progress Report 254
To play the alpha use the password “alphabranch1”
Keep in mind this version is not stable and further updates might break your save.
This version has the new building pieces, but the other building system upgrades are not done yet since we have been busy with the database rewrite.
We are also working on a new feature, Gathering will be a placeholder until proper exploration and extraction is implemented (which may take more than a year), this will allow players to spend energy and time to gain resources instead of having to use the shop for everything.
There will be a wooden cart outside the town that gives the forage prompt for foraging seeds, ingredients and wood and the mine door will give the prompt for clay, metal and stone.
Friday Progress Report 253
The game is probably less stable right now since we had to change fundamental parts of how several elements are saved so we will need some help testing once we release the next nightly build.
The building update is about 30% done, the xml rewrite was a big setback, we need now to finish:
-Improve building UI to expand and make it easier to find the pieces you want (since we have more than doubled the amount of pieces)
-Add snap-point furniture like doors and windows that snap into frames and can be interacted with
-Add Large tower parts (4 meter radius stone tower parts)
-Export buildings to the workshop
We will also add the mod samples that are 99% done and we haven’t released yet because of the rewrite as soon as we are sure everything is working.
V0.31.0.3 on Nightly
Added porridge recipe (Pot recipe).
Bugfixes:
Fixed major bugs on the quest system
Fixed major bugs on the relations system
Fixed bugs on the npc system
Fixed save issues with adding new ingredient tags
Fixed save issues with adding new ingredient effects
Friday Progress Report 252
The bug is triggered when modding ingredients or recipes in an existing save, the ingredient tags and effects get scrambled, so avoid modding these until the next update!
We are also working on the next big feature of the building system, uploading buildings.
And we have implemented multi-tile pieces, this feature was required for the medium tower, since they occupy 1 tile and half, this is the main reason we haven’t released them yet despite being fully modeled and textured, but we do need to test these pieces more before releasing them, so it may take a few more days before we add the medium tower parts.
The recipe mod sample and the medium tower pieces should be ready and released during this week.
