Hi everyone, and Merry Christmas!
I'm here to tell you a little about the game and how is it going.
Don't worry, the big update is under development. Actually is more than an update since I'm doing the game from scratch involving code, and this game in code is huge, or it was since right now I'm optimizing a lot the game by removing a lot of useless code from the first alpha.
How is it going?
Steam multiplayer is working but is one of the hardest tasks to be done. The new procedural infinite map is working under the new system and now is time to add new stuff to the generation. Finally the new character system is also working on single player but is limited to movement (no weapons yet).
Everything is running smoother than ever now.
And what is coming with these new systems
It is still too soon to talk about this, but about the new character system is much more customizable now, for me as developer, and for you as player.
Talking about customization you will be able now to choose a skin colour for your character and equip a hat (head slot) and some cool glasses (face slot) at the same time, and of course, play it on third person if you want.
(Don't pay attention to the landscape, is under some testing)
Now under this customization there is more stuff. Your character can improve their stats nows (resistance, sprint speed, hunger gaining, etc...) and skills (crouch while jumping, sprint consuming life when your resistance is off, etc...), so yes! that level up thing is now used in the game and it's actually useful!
About infinite map you may now almost everything by now. Is generated "on the fly", so while you are playing the map is generating instead of being generated before you play the first time. Generation is much much faster than before. The number of possible cubes has been increased from 250 max. to infinite max. And much more, there are countless benefits with this new system.
And this was supposed to be a short update to let you know that I'm woking and doing the best I can to improve the game, but look, this is too long!
Enjoy these days if you celebrate something, and if not, enjoy them too! :)
