Cooking... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!!?!
The time has finally come and cooking has been implemented. This is something that was suggested to me by maybe 250 people, which is a lot obviously. I want to make sure Project Explore isn't a grind every step of the way but instead a smooth climb.
Anyhow cooking is in and fully functional. I've made sure to test it out vigorously to avoid releasing a bug filled update. I had to figure out a new UI for the camp fires to make this cooking system work and along the way decided that I may as well change the UI system for a couple of things. This list includes the furnace, lantern, small fire, and large fire. It's a similar UI to the way the hammer is handled.
I hope everyone enjoys this change and that it brings a much needed bit of realism/content to the game.
The Wiki/Website Is Still Being Worked On
We finally decided it was time to get a decent website url so I took the time to grab the domain 'projectexploregame.com' before someone else did. The wiki can still be accessed through my studio website but it can now also be accessed via our new domain. Our main website is not set up yet but it will be soon.
I've filled out a lot more items in the wiki which may prove useful to anyone who isn't sure on a specific item or how to use it.
The new website URL is as follows:

I appreciate all the bug reports and suggestions recently. The community has been very helpful in the development of this game and I'm thankful that we chose to go into the 'Early Access' branch of Steam. ^_^
