Instead of 0.24a, I am dubbing this patch as 0.23d and will be staying in the 0.23 cycle until all the features of 0.24 are ready. Below is a short list of new features that I was able to wrap up for this release.
New Features
- World detail option (now fully functional)
- Dynamic environment - level 4 only
- Hardware acceleration for the cursor (lobby only)
- Memory optimization
There will be some changes and new features that you may notice - but will not be functional (eg. the new infrastructure panel or the news lines). They are temporarily disabled for now as they are not ready. I will unlock them as soon as they are.
Please note that all new features and addons are development build specific and will not be available on the default branch. When the development build reaches a stable point it will be pushed down.
The Upcoming 0.3 Cycle
As I've showcased in my previous post, I am working on 7 new zones and 3 new stages for the 0.3 cycle:
Storage, Brewery, Distillery, Ice Room, Boiler Room, VIP Suite, and Blacksmith.
I've also started working on the sandbox mode. It is in its early stages, but once the 0.3 cycle is released, I should be able to devote more time towards it.
That's all!
