Hi friends,
Another Friday, another update. Let’s get straight to the point, I’d hoped this update would bring chests but it’s going to have to wait another week I’m afraid. They’re 95% done, there’s just a few final things to tidy up. If I were to push them into this update however it would have been sloppy and need work next week anyway, so best to wait.
There’s still a couple of small changes to this update, and I’m nicknaming it sheepgate! You guessed it, they revolve around sheep.
So we recently added shears, and good news, they can now be used. No longer do you have to kill that poor innocent sheep to get its wool. With shears equip simply right click a sheep to shear it and the wool will grow back in a few minutes!
To accompany the game-changing shearing update, sheep have also received a small graphical update. They’re now much fluffier and have two possible colours. It’s like a whole new game!
Both of these changes are now live in build v0.1d, available now in the beta channel.
Since this update is short I figure I’ll give two small game hints. Why not!
Did you know you can shoot down beehives? When a beehive spawns fire at it with a bow and arrow. It will fall to the ground and can then be harvest for food!
Did you know sheep and pigs can be tethered? With rope equip on your hot bar right click and animal to tether it to you. It will then follow you around the level. This feature is very rough, and is intended to be used with fences so you can lead animals into a pen later down the line.
So next week shouldn’t see a new build according to the schedule, they’re every 2 weeks, but it will! I’m so close to being done with chests that there’s no point in waiting 2 weeks, we’ll just get them out. If there’s time we’ll also sneak in some other smaller updates and fixes before getting back to schedule.
So, bit of a slow two weeks I’m afraid. Haven’t got as much as I’d like done but that’s the way it goes sometimes. :)
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and enjoy sheepgate!
