Hey everyone, we've been working very hard on a0.8, it's still a couple weeks away, but I want to give you an update on what we're adding so you have something to look forward to. The change list for this build will be very large. They include:
Buildings can now be saved - player can select an area in the world space and save the blocks in it as an ISO, give it to other players or paste it back into the world again once there's enough materials.
Monorail - story based mission, but you can build it however you like.
Ships - you can now build ships in the Creation Editor, comes with physics.
Better camera system - we want movements to be felt, also cutting down on the weird movement of the camera when in a hole.
Animals take dumps - nothing to explain, but you can pick it up...
Multiplayer changes - there will now be a free for all mode, no more shops in the corner, everything will come from npcs, npcs will also not have unlimited cash anymore. We're working on making the multiplayer random map like a continent, might not make it into this build. Multiple players can now get on one vehicle. Players will drop items when they die. You will be able to select and create more than one character. Alien army camps will be on the map, with alien armies that will hunt players. LOD extended out for adventure mode.
Aliens and animals will now attack player colonies, even when the player is away.
NPCs in colonies will need food to survive, you can also recruit mainline npcs.
Many more new npcs and story extension.
Lots and lots of sound effects!
There are more stuff than that, but we'll leave some off so that you can be surprised. :) Anyway, back to work!
