Happy Weekend Travellers!
It's been a fantastic week, and we hope you are enjoying the new hair and fixes of this week's update. There's more to come very soon - two week to be precise!
It's less than 4 weeks to Early Access launch, it's exciting! A massive thank you for your support across channels leading up to it, it means a lot to the team seeing you guys enjoying yourselves and the hype!
If you're still not on all our social channels, you're missing out and should come join, 'cause we have all of the AWESOME goodies, competitions and events lined up for you. Speaking of which, you should absolutely give the Dungeon Run Competition a try.
Surely some of you (daredevils) can ace this in a single go?
Reminder, that if you want to participate in or arrange an event, you can post it on the Community Events section of the forum.
What have the devs been up to last week?
Warning: Sparkly VFX gifs below may cause excitement.
- More fixes to ship part placement preview - 0.1.12

- Adjusted understorm damage to clear up lingering shipyards more - 0.1.12

- Various cinematic introduction art/design tasks - 0.2.x
- Fixing certain exploits. Various other minor bug fixes. - 0.1.12 and 0.2.0
- Almost finished our first system on the new style of server. We'll eventually be transitioning a lot of the games server code over to this new style and in theory it should make it more performant and simpler to develop with. "The only flashy thing to come out of it so far is the wind gif we sent last week, but it should be the beginnings of a more stable Worlds Adrift." [themoreyouknow.gif]
