Hey guys,
It has been a very busy month and I apologise for the lack of updates, but sometimes life just gets in the way of things especially when you are a solo developer. Earlier I've had to cope with the loss of a family member and all the procedures that follow after someones death like getting death certificates approved and contacting government services etc and in addition to that, I've had a few health issues myself. Recently gotten multiple blood tests and a CT scan, but so far the results are positive so I am very grateful for that.
That said, I have not been idle with development and I in fact have been pushing forward. The main reason for the delay is again tied to the world map. There is a 3rd party tool that I use that is related to the maps and there is currently an issue that I am waiting for to be patched out. So because of that, I cannot really move forward with an update. So I'm doing my best to work around it and wait until the new patch releases.
Earlier in the month I showed pictures of the forest biome map and I have mentioned on the forums that the upcoming update would only include the forest biome map but due to having to wait for this tool to update, I've actually gone ahead and sculpted the other 4 maps.
The buildings will eventually be overhauled, I still need to create the architecture for each biome, currently all buildings are just using one tileset, but the sculpting for the terrain has at least been finished.
It is honestly a lot of work and my doctor says I should be resting more, but I wanted to at least get this done before the end of the year and things look to be on track. The stressed peaked today when I locked myself out of my house, left my wallet inside with the keys/money and was refused by a medical clinic that I had waited over a month and a half to get a booking in. That said, you can't sweat the small stuff lol. For now, I am just hoping you guys can understand my current situation. I'll release a new update as soon as I can. ːsteamhappyː
