Another quick update.
We have finally finished moving house and now have internet again! Super tired but we have started to work through the list of reports and issues in the current build.
Thank you everyone for being so patient and understanding it means so much to us and has made things a lot easier to deal with.
Expect a lot more from us in the future!
Current state of experimental and update on us.
Quick update! We currently have no internet and are moving house, We are aware of the bugs and game crashes in the current exp build. As soon as we get the internet back we will be working on fixes 24/7. THANK YOU! For all of the reports and for supporting us :)
I felt it would be better to keep everyone updated instead of left in the dark.
We will still keep documenting what issues there is and talking with the community the best we can.
You're all amazing.
Experimental 1.100.0.e1 | Ancient and Dunk mode
Hey all
Sorry for the delay.
Ancient and Dunk mode are up for testing on the experimental branch.
Instructions here.
Changelog here.
The map and mode are not final, let us know of any issues or concerns.
We have a lot of things to fix up and still to add.
Lighting needs to be baked and environmental/cosmetic objects still need to be placed.
Relocation
We are moving house and office this weekend so there may be a delay in fixes, response on the forums and sore arms, we will still try and be active though.
Thanks!
Take care.
Update 1.99.0 | Keybinds
Hello!
Sorry for the delay, today we are releasing 1.99.0 previously known as 0.0.99, please post any bug reports in the bug reports section on the Steam forums.
Please note, the large download size is due to preparation for Ancient
This update contains keybinding and a bunch of fixes.
The Ancient map is still under development alongside the level editor, I’ll go into more detail below.
Full changelog at the bottom.
Versioning change?
We are now using the [Major,Minor,Revision] method to name our versions.
This is a much easier way to know where we are in development and is used a lot in the industry.
Keybinding
You can now rebind keys for all the actions in game, I want to make this more advanced in the future.
Ancient progress
Ancient is looking better everyday, be sure to catch up on the progress of this map and other additions on our Twitch If you miss anything all videos will be saved on our YouTube They are pretty slow and boring so be warned, but it will give you an idea of what we do, our progress and how long it takes.
Level editor
I'll start to focus more on the level editor over the next few weeks, please bare in mind that I am the only programmer and these things take time.
The Ancient map will still go ahead as planned and shouldn't be held back.
There is no ETA on this yet.
Thanks for the support!
