Hey!
As you know we're doing a big update.
We're taking a bit more than expected because we want everything smooth and fully working.
I'm here to show you some progress!
New map generation
As you know, there's a new map generator, including new terrain heights, slopes, canyons and a new building distribution. Now the generator may merge even terrain with buildings and / or with other buildings. This adds a perfect feeling of post-apocalyptic world that the nature has taken back!
I'd like to add that temporary we have deactivated the water and different heights. You can still find water in the underground. This is because we're doing dynamic water and it's taking a bit more.
Caves and underground
Yay! We've added underground generation. You won't find minerals and things like this in the caves, as instead, you will be able to find special herbs, buried old buildings (such as bunkers and so), skeletons, and dangers. We are adding more underground content in future updates!
Building / map editor
What is the best way to add more content to the game? Letting the community create their own content! Starting from a building editor, you will be able to create your own buildings and then send them to be reviewed and approved.
Then, every user will be able to allow the map generator to take random buildings from the internet and generate a new map using them!
Please note that the interface and some other things are not finished yet and may be changed this week!
Performance
This is serious for us. We're trying to keep improving the game's performance, and we're doing well. In this version you will find that the game no longer crash or take too many memory after playing the same map for a long time.
What's next?
We want to add farming in this update too, let's see if that's possible, but it will be soon.
After the update, we are going to make this version stable and we'll keep adding new content to the map, but most important we're going back to player interactions, items and so.
We want to thank you all for your support, let's keep improving the game!
