Hey everyone!
Last week was very productive; we finalised the assets for the Jungle (and therefore also the biome itself), fixed a range of bugs, and are getting ever closer to uploading 0.8. As usual, I will show you the Jungle biome today!
The Jungle is the biome you will get into after the Stone Valleys. Unlike the Stone Valleys, however, the Jungle is a lush environment with lots of water, trees, and shrubbery. This makes it a surprisingly dangerous environment to move through - considering pirates can lurk behind every corner, and you may come face to face with pirate pistoleers without much notice.
In terms of resources, the Jungle will provide you with lots of wood - and a decent amount of expansion space once you cut down some trees. The Jungle will also be the first area in which you will be able to find coal mines - which will give you a much better option to get coal than burning copious amounts of wood. As a result, the Jungle will be a necessary step toward sustainable ammo production. The Jungle is also host to a number of banana trees, so it should provide your villagers with some food right off the bat.
Finally, the lush environment has given us many, many options to hide paths into the mountains and loot, so once you decide to brave the danger of running into pirates at every corner, you will also be able to get a reward around most corners!
The next biome, the Iron Plateau, has been ready for a few weeks now, so I will show you a sneak peak of it next week.
Until next week!
