Were currently working hard on many new features, improvements, and a bunch of bug fixes to many issues that cropped up as a result of the last update (we are making good progress on the bug that resets character/inventory for some players after log in).

A new system we are working on is a block collapsing system so that players can no longer have floating bases. The system is simple in nature, in that any bases detected to be floating bases would collapse. A building could still be held up by a single column, however, if another player destroys a block on that column it would collapse as well. This should make the landscapes look a lot nicer after a trebuchet battle. Contents inside of chests/containers turn into loot bags that fall to the ground in the event of an entire building collapse.

We've put a Tabard in the game. It follows your guild icon, color, and background, and it can be worn over any armor set! As well, we've implemented 18 masks that the player can craft & wear. They range from tribal masks to theatrical masks.

Some of the new upcoming weapons include an executioners axe, iron dagger, and a bone longbow, Some of the new content includes a Hay Bale to use as alternate ammo for trebuchet, log fence, wooden drawbridge, wooden ledge, and a placeable wooden arrow defense wall.

Work is being done on the shield system as well, we've got the player holding 2 torches now. But much work is yet to be done on the system. We do not plan to do dual weapons, but players will be able to hold a shield + one handed weapon, or a torch + one handed weapon.

A really cool and big new feature that is also on the way in a future update is a new map! This map is roughly 2x the size of the current map, and is set up in a very strategic manner. The throne room area does not have walls, as we intend players to build their castle around it. It is also set on an island surrounded by a moat, there are 3 other plateaus just beyond this moat that are also strategically placed and of roughly the same height. This we hope will encourage players to face off. Server hosts will be able to set what map their server uses in the server config.

Were not yet sure if the next update will be this coming week, or the week after. As well, some of the things we are currently working on may or may not be ready for the next update (might come the update after).
