Lone Wolf: Horizon
1.4.0 Release Date
Will include:
* New map, much bigger, but currently in heavy development to get it back up to speed with the current map in pre-1.4.0.
* Bug fixes
* UI changes
I've done a lot of thinking, and I am feeling a bit better. A lot has happened within the past few days. I found out I have a half brother, and my aunt died. I'm going to a funeral for her Friday or Saturday, date hasn't been decided.
Thank you guys,
Mark.
An Announcement.
This is not going to be a fun announcement to make. Anyway, for the time being, Lost World Zero is cancelled. There are many factors leading me to make this decision. Since Lost World Zero has released, I've been getting hate for no reason, on the discussion form, in reviews, and in PMs. The game has just not been rewarding to make for a while now, it feels like a chore now, rather than something I want to make. I've been getting hate and people saying things along the line of: "you WILL make this game because I demand you to" yet they don't seem to understand that I have a life outside of Steam. I have a girlfriend, and things are shaky with that right now. I have high school, and the upcoming state tests, SAT, and final exams approaching relatively soon. I have work, that I need to have to afford my car bills, and other things. I have friends... well.... hah no I don't (joke). Anyway, the development was not rewarding and rather stressful and saddening. It was about 95% useless hate, to how I type things, how old I am, and how I have a life outside of Steam, and then just insulting the game but that's whatever.
I loved working on this game, but now I don't.

1.4.0 Progress
I was recently paid for work and I have pretty good funding right now so today I'm going to be making improvements to the game, visually, and code wise. I'll be adding some new items, adding to the map, and adding new mobs probably.
1.4.0 will be out whenever I think it's ready.

* Added better water textures, water reflections, and more.
* Added two new huge islands, that are currently a work in progress.
Green: Remains of the first attempt the SNA tried to set up base on this world, only to drastically fail. Along with remains of the current war on the planet.
It's a jungle, with many, many SNA and spider spawnpoints and wreckage everywhere.

Influence: Improvements to the influence system, to last longer so AI will be around a lot longer.
