Weekly Update #3 Stone Buildings and World Changes
More progress this week! We decided to add stone building structures to give players another way to upgrade their base. Paths are also slowly being added to connect lootzones on the islands. Lastly we have been working on making the forts which player's can raid more menacing.
Stone Structures
We added stone walls, stone triangles, stone floors, stone ceilings, reinforced doors, and wooden roofs. All of these except the wood roof will serve as building upgrades to player buildable houses.
Paths between Loot zones
These paths with connect loot zones on most islands. This will function to connect the islands so players have more defined ways to move around. Also the loot zones felt "lonely" not being connected. The hope is that these paths with also funnel player interaction.
Forts
Just working on making them look larger and grander.
Server Updates
Our server architect is almost complete connect the server to the client. Soon we will have joinable servers on our new server software supporting 250 players+. The last server software was incapable of supporting our intended player count per server.
