TUG Update Alpha 0.8.6 - 8/11/2015

Update Warning! Game saves from v0.8.5 will not load in v0.8.6 due to some technical changes we made.

Hello everyone, Nekochu here!

We’ve got some new stuff: fixes to old stuff and some really bold stuff to be found in this update. First off, we’ve made some changes to how you can place objects in the world. This is really important to me as I want to focus our efforts on making the player experience a top priority going forward. Now when placing objects, you’ll be able to use the 'V' key to turn on grid snapping, making it super easy to line up your objects.

We also have dyes in the game to make your own custom colored bricks. We have a Bear Ram and he is terrifying! We also have a basket to collect your fruit from your gardens for you! There’s much, much more so check the patch notes for all the new things!

You’ll also find a lot of changes to recipe times and the method to crafting certain items. Check out the changes to the cage trap, you can now capture other players! We’ve been making some tweaks to the AI to help them with pathfinding and avoidance. This is all leading up to big future improvements for the AI in the game. Oh did I mention the pets can now guard your camp and protect you in battle? No? Well they do and it is awesome!

Unfortunately, due to the nature of some of the changes we’ve made, previous game saves will not load up with the new update.

TUG Update Alpha 0.8.5 - 6/23/2015

Update Warning! Game saves from v0.8.4 will not load in v0.8.5 due to terrain tech updates.

Ahoy! This is a big tech update we have going on, as it's the benchmark for the team moving on to engine 2.0. The next several months will be spent building and porting systems over to openGL and making the game accessible to more and more players in the community. Not only do we expand the reach of the community, but we also get a chance to dramatically improve ALL the things for the game.

We have some REALLY exciting times ahead of us, as we prepare to grow our team and get a bit more aggressive on the things we create. As a lot of you know, we have always had a huge focus on modding, and much of that focus is actually going to start to shine within the next few months. While the DX11 engine may not expand much while we move over to openGL, we have some pretty rad stuff planned for the community and a lot of modders from the MC community. Its a great chance for us to really work out new systems we are introducing to make mod creation and discovery easier.

We will have a lot of fairly huge announcements on the future of TUG, within the next couple of months, so be sure to follow us @nerdkingdom

As per usual, report any bugs you run into, screenshots and videos are super helpful if you have the time. And if the game is not running for whatever reason, and it was, we are more likely going to see the report email before we see the review on steam… just sayin.

Cameron has been doing a LOT of streams on builds lately, so follow him @camfergusondfw

If you want Corey to hurry the H E double hockey sticks, up with openGL, harass him @CoreyClarkPhD

And if you want to send lavish gifts and cookie bouquets, feel free to get me @inoritewtf

6/17/15 InDev Branch Update

Hey you guys!

The team has been super busy these past few weeks since we started playtesting/bug fixing. We hope to have a new build out within a week or two. We have pushed an InDev build for you all to give it a go. The build is fairly stable but please report any bugs you find. The patch notes are not done yet and they’re still growing. Here’s a quick breakdown.


  • Sky update
  • Biome update
  • Body morphing & growth
  • More crafting recipes

    • Clothing, work station, and a crude door!

  • Creative mode rework
  • Tons of minor optimizations, features, and fixes


Please be sure to send bug reports to support@nerdkingdom.com or post on our TUG Steam forum. We’ll keep you guys updated as we make more progress.

TUG Update Alpha 0.8.4 - 4/08/2015

Ahoy! Enjoy fun, hunting KIDS! ALL THE KIDS! Goat kids… ya creeps. This update brings breeding and taming to the world of The Uncanny Gerbils, along with a few sparkly bits with teh magicks… magic? magik? idk. Keep in mind, that everything you are seeing in game now is not final, but does give us a chance to see how things impact the overall experience and performance of the game. Of course, if something is not to your liking in a current iteration you can always, ya know… mod it.

Expect a lot more focus on content for the next couple of releases, while we start to work on the design and early development of the engine move over to openGL, so we can hit much lower machine specs and get the game out there in the hands of more players. Along with this, dedicated servers are ALMOST done, and you should follow @camfergusondfw for updates on that. Also, hes got this streaming bug right now, so you can also poke him on stream on occasion here.

We have made some big progress since we started this project way back in Kickstarter, and have gotten a lot of support from all of you, fellow developers, and even financial partners. Its been absolutely overwhelming to be able to take our project this far and have an opportunity to take it beyond what we initially thought we could accomplish. We have big plans and big support, and we are anxious to show you guys what we have up our sleeves.

OH! And big congratz to our Art Director @inkmech, who just had a beautiful, healthy baby girl! Well, he didn't have a baby, that’d be weird… but you know what I mean.

TUG Update Alpha 0.8.3 - 3/11/2015

Ahoy! You know where you can cram it?!?!?! IN YOUR WORKING CHEST! Finally got around to getting storage containers working, along with equipables and a few other bits… not to mention my personal favorite, TRAPS! I think by now we all know, that any researcher has a little bit of troll in them, so things can start to get a little more fun. We are starting to get into some of the more “RPG”ish stuffs, so see plenty of other bits below.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=406212539

Ghost and I got to spend a bit of time at PaxEast this past weekend, it was an absolute blast. We got to hang with the dudes from Forge, Mindcrack and ForgeCraft (so many forges!), and got lots of interesting insights about tools, maps and all things shameless minecraft clone. It was encouraging to also hear that the things that drove us with this project, are also things that are important to the dev community… so with that, expect some more mods along the way from a few modders you may recognize.

Speaking of modders! We are going to be starting a mod jam here in the next couple of months (TUG Jam?), so we can start showcasing some new tools, and offer up some gift cards/prizes to modders that could help them beef up their rigs in the process. Don’t have all the details, but working them out with Lex (Forge) and Pahimar (ForgeCraft) over the next couple of days and will announce that soonish, so be sure to troll me on the twitters for deets (cause I just deleted my Facebook, its true, the most epic unlike of all time).

As usual, if you run into any bugs, crashes, splosions, please leave it as a review for how terrible this game was and how much of a rip off it was… I mean… email support *cough* or post to the bugs forums. Your feedback helps us make better tech, which means better game, and even better mods, so be kind and leave feedback behind (T-Shirt!).

TUG Update Alpha 0.8.2 - 1/30/2015

Hello everyone! We’re back from PAX South and back to more frequent updates!

It was a blast getting to meet people at PAX South and the game played really well for everyone who stopped by the booth. We noticed a few nagging issues during the event that we wanted to get a patch out for and that’s what you’ll find in this update.

TUG Update Alpha 0.8.1 - 1/22/2015

Its been quite a while since we have brought a build off of indev and into the main branch, so this update is a really big deal for us. We have gone through quite a lot in the past several months, and it feels great being able to hit this milestone with the engine getting the first phase of multiplayer running, and letting all of you guys enjoy TUG with your friends *cough*.

We moved new terrain into the main branch, and its faster than its ever been. With that, we also have got some non blocky blocks within the world for various interactions in survivor and a bit of an overhaul on controls in creative mode, to allow you to scroll through shapes. Its all still a bit crude, but it will help get things done. This is a big step for us, but its nowhere near the last… lots of big stuff is still on the way.

A big chunk of our team is on their way to PAX South today, and setting up to show off some progress to the gaming community, so this is a big deal for us. You can visit us at booth #1483. With this milestone, we are also pushing that price increase we have been talking about for some time. But, to allow some last minute backers/contributors/buyers/people, we are putting the game on sale at the $19.99 price point (which means its gonna sit at $10 for a while). Not sure if we are going to do a price increase again… but as we did in this case, we will share those thoughts as soon as we know… it will all just come down to how far we can push this project.

Below, you can check out a descriptive list of things we’ve fixed and still need fixing. You will see some more focus on features and content with the next few updates, and the occasional hot fixes. And If you come across any errors, crashes, or weird instances that just don’t seem right, feel free to let us know on our forums or contact us support@nerdkingdom.com.

As always send all your cuddles to me on the twitters @inoritewtf and any potential nerd rage to @joshuabrookover, hes one of our new engineers… and he needs a good hazing. Also, gratz to Cobell who was moved up from PM to Producer on TUG! (get a twitter already… GOSH).

  • Clients that crash may sometimes leave a body in the server

1/16/2015 InDev Branch Update

All the dust is finally starting to settle with our team setting up as the new "controllers" of the project and development has been keeping us pretty busy, but we are pretty psyched to be able to get this indev push of multiplayer out to you guys. Hooray, TUG with your friends!

This first phase is only survival mode, with creative to follow next week. And keep in mind, we still have a lot to do with networking alone, so expect some of the usual bug shenanigans (listed below). We really do need the help identifying issues with the game on many types of hardware, so please post those reports to the forums or send em over to support@nerdkingdom.com. We will be watching and listening and pushing out fixes over the course of the next couple of weeks as they arise.

Also important to keep in mind, multiplayer in this iteration is still fairly early, so don't expect crazy furry parties just yet. With more time and more tech, the experience and player count will improve. As to what that count is, we still cannot say... We are in new frontiers with the networking inside and such a heavy focus on physics AND voxels, so lots to see through development.

In addition to pushing out fixes for multiplayer next week, we are also gonna be pretty slammed getting ready for PAX S, so hang in there if we are not as speedy to get back or as active in the forums as usual.

That's about it for now guys! Enjoy trolling your friends!

Found bugs or just nerd raging? Send our lead programmer a tweet @auti0. If it's hugs then tweet me @inoritewtf

Don't have InDev branch? Opt-in here


Note: Creative Mode is currently being reworked. While it is available in the menu, it will crash the game. It is our next priority.

The save system has been updated so any older save games will be not be valid.

Fixes

  • Multiplayer is back. We’d recommend playing at maximum around 4-5 players. You will most likely be able to play with a few more, but the Server will likely get performance issues
  • The Menu CEGUI Lua and Gameplay Lua have been separated into different VMs. Leaving a game will cause the Gameplay Lua to be fully deleted and re-created on a new game launch. The Menu VM is maintained at all times.
  • Many of the existing GUIs in the game have been ported to CEGUI
  • Put in an intermediary fix for black triangle textures on sharp edged cube voxels that share a single edge
  • Added console commands for /ban, /kick, /banlist, and /unban
  • Added a console /unstuck command that teleports you a short distance directly forward
  • Changes in generation to fix resource issues and sparse biome disbursement
  • Some items’ (tools, weapons, 2 handed objects, and food) hand attachment offsets have been fixed
  • Durability values for various tools and weapons have been adjusted
  • Black Rock has been added to generation
  • Sound issues on the AI have been fixed
  • Crude Beds cannot be used by multiple players simultaneously
  • Very large terrain cracks are fixed, small terrain cracks might still occur on cell boundaries
  • Added in a temporary fix to black-triangles on voxel normals. Still some blending issues remain
  • Fixed biome-weight determination for object population
  • Fixed a very, very rare startup crash caused by multi-threaded operations
  • Fixed offsets for items in hand


Engine Optimizations

  • Massive Terrain overhaul to support multi-player. Terrain generates faster, saves far less data, modifies more quickly, and handles tasks more cleanly in all modes
  • Massive overhaul to LUA garbage-collection logic and script processing to get better performance out of the engine
  • Many various optimizations to billboard creation and rendering
  • Overall many areas of the engine have been tuned and re-tweaked to perform more optimally


Work In Progress

  • Creative Mode
  • Dedicated Servers
  • Fall damage temporarily has been disabled
  • Additional terrain modification improvements to remove floating, 2d, and non-diggable bits of terrain

TUG News 12/23/2014 - HOOOOORAY!

I kept trying to think of super awesome fun ways to start this post, but i'm a loss for words… so… “boop”. We have officially finalized our deal with our investor/friend/partner/dudes, and we are on our way to making some awesome! It’s been a really tough past few months, but we have been hanging in there and getting stuff done… understandably, its hard to see any of the stuff getting done, since its only going out to indev in ultra early access (OMG IT’S SO BROKEN!), but we are going to be whipping up some sweet sweet video sneak peek action for you guys super soon… because Cambo’s back and that dude is being put to work.

Other cool news, I am now the CEO of Nerd Kingdom, so that is kinda a big deal too. This doesn’t really change anything for us, it just means I get this sweet new title in the company and all kinds of crazy anxiety inducing legal responsibilities. Also, we get to start to bring on MORE people to join this kingdom of nerds, which also is pretty great.

Multiplayer will be coming to indev just after the holidays, and we are REALLY going to need you help tearing it to shreds getting it ready for official release, so breaking things is encouraged. A chunk of us are actually going to be doing some work through the holidays on game breaking bugs, so we can have it ready for everyone just into the new year. As usual, post your bugs to the review section… *cough*.... wait… I mean, the bugs forums or support@nerdkingdom.com. But if you wanna earn some super rad brownie points? Re-create the bugs several times and send the process to us so we know how to target it. Wanna earn ACTUAL BROWNIES! (disclaimer, no actual brownies) record footage of the bug in action and send it to us for review.

In other news, we somehow managed to score a booth at PAX South, so a few of us will be there showcasing some multiplayer action in TUG (do what you will with that in comments below… we need more T shirt ideas). The next 6 months as a whole are going to have some pretty rad things coming online and we are anxious for you to help us break that stuff too.

Man, reading back on this post a few times, its kinda wacky… welp, I'm tired and excited and I’m gonna let it slide (DON'T YOU DARE SILENCE ME, LEFTY!)

As usual for high fives get me on the twitters @inoritewtf
General nerd ragery @brennanpriest42
Updates on the stuffs @theuntitledgame
