We've just released a new version on the public test (PT) branch:
- Added smooth ambient lighting (needs to be activated in the settings if you've previously started the game, lighting may not work correctly at chunk borders yet). The options "smooth", "smoother", and "smoothest" determine the resolution at which the ambient lighting is rendered, but the result does not differ in most cases.
- Added sprinting with double-pressing forward (if you don't want to hold shift all the time)
- Added flashing yellow screen border on low hunger
- Added/fixed local (planet) and say chat
- Added sliders for field of view, music volume, and environment volume
- Optimized shadows (not sure if it's actually faster, but it's definitely not slower)
- The universe seed is now saved in a separate file to make it possible to fix savegames in case something goes horribly wrong (e.g. PC crash due to overheating).
Smooth lighting before & after:
