Update Version 0.1.3.0 The Start Of A Great Journey

SAVES MAY NOT WORK BETWEEN THIS AND PREVIOUS VERSIONS. PLEASE DO NOT POST BUGS THAT ARE DUE TO LOADING SAVES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS.

Changes In Version 0.1.3.0

  • Added in-game text boxes for input. You can copy, paste, use the mouse, everything you can do with a normal text box.
  • Changed load menu, now gives you a list of every save in the game folder. You can scroll through it with the mouse wheel
  • Changed save system, the world name is entered before starting a new game and that becomes the file name
  • Fixed a crash due to there being no trees near rocks
  • Rain drops now properly check for roofs and change alpha accordingly
  • All light sources now start disabled when first placed. You may not want another player to see you as you put down a lantern for example
  • When raining, fires are put out if they are not under a ceiling of some sort
  • Fires can not be started if they are in the rain
  • Optimized collisions for rain drops checking for roof objects
  • Fixed rain hitting constructed roof that may have led to a crash due to a missing variable
  • Re-worked menu music
  • Fine tuned a few sounds (volume)
  • Increased damage done to bucks with arrows (-50 HP)
  • Changed code used in the chunk system, keeps more chunks active
  • Changed stick crafting, 1 log gives 2 sticks
  • Fixed Project Explore (All the games programming) to work correctly with the latest stable version of Game Maker: Studio, Version 1.4.1567

What's To Come
Project Explore has come a far way since it's original release into early access. I'm happy to say that the game is doing great so far and I can almost guarantee Project Explore to be complete by this time next year. I plan to leave my day job in a few months and focus all my time, and energy into Project Explore.

Everyone in the community has been very helpful in the development process with great suggestions and motivational support. I could not have ever imagined that the game would grow to this size and be so well received. I am left speechless everytime I open the store page to see the reviews at "Very Positive".
