Hello Gamecrafters!
Next week we’ll be aiming to release one more update before the year ends, which will put live a more refined version of the latest preview, along with some general bug fixes and improvements as well as the release of one of the features more frequently requested by the community!
Preview going Live
Overall we're happy with the results of the preview. We've fixed some critical bugs, managed to clean things up quite a bit and learned a lot from it, so we’re going to push that live. This isn’t an official multiplayer launch as we still have a long way to go before we are happy with multiplayer being “release ready” but we don’t want to put it on a shelf and take it away from the dedicated crafters who helped us test it out. Multiplayer will still be accessed through console commands and massive saves are not quite ready to use in multiplayer yet but the option is still there if you choose.
Controls Screen
Yes, we’re finally adding the ability to allow users to customise their control layouts! Gone are the days of high mouse sensitivity, or uncomfortable control layouts, for you can now properly set-up your keybindings. We’ll give you the full details when this goes live but here is a little teaser.
Ongoing optimisations and QoL changes
Over the last couple of updates we’ve been working on optimising some of the slower areas of Gamecraft. For this update we’ve been focusing mostly on textures and foliage but we’ll share more on those next week. We’ve also been tackling a few of the issues that came out of the last update, along with a couple more tweaks and fixes, such as removing the collision of flowers when placed.
