Hey everyone!
As always this update is both delayed and rushed, it seems like that is the only way to do it.
So thank you for the patience!
After the previous update back in november the plan was to bring back the christmass and winter stuff from v20191227winter, fix a few things and start working fully on multiplayer again.
There wasn't enough progress made to be done before christmass, so this update was in the works instead.
Now after the unavoidable hotfixes will be out, the plan would be to work on multiplayer.
But that is not so simple. Syncing a few things is not that hard, but the game under the hood is like an overcomplicated rusty pipe system made of badly written moldy spaghetti code living in a dark basement with slimy angry looking spider creatures crawling on everything. And hissing at me.
In the past few years I have gained a lot of experience, now I should be able to do much better.
So a lot of the main scripts need to be rewritten, like the:
- terrain generation
- building generation
- save-load system
- item manager
If these don't work properly (and they don't) the multiplayer will not either.
And it is not efficient to implement new features to them, or other systems depending on them either.
Playing with older versions which have the previous terrain generation now almost make me sick.
They didn't made me sick back then, because they felt great then, but they weren't.
And the current one feels not too bad now, but I want to have a very good one, and be very sick of this one, when that comes out.
I don't like to talk about plans like this, because they never work, something always crosses them out, and the game should do the talking anyway by it's improvements, and not me. If I'm talking, then I'm not working.
But it is good to see the community on the discord server already sharing their experience with this update and the activity on other places.
I would interact more with you, but "sadly" there are so many of you and I'm a man of a few words, aren't I?
You know that if you saw the previous live streams. Speaking of those, there should be one sometime about this update on the TLD youtube channel, I'm sure it will be posted on the TLD facebook page, if you are afraid you miss it.
Have fun with this update!
Hopefully the next one won't take much longer as the average updates took this far.
