Public Build: Alpha v2.03.1I (Patreon)

Big old update this time! Tons and tons and tons of bug fixes, also all of the ones applied to the final patreon build, along with a new camera system for Cloverton, so expect a little bugginess there and tell us how it works (Please get us screenshots, videos, gifs, and other stuff too! The static-camera system as we're calling it is something that we really want to de-kink because we think it provides the best image of the game possible). This build, as you will find in the notes, also includes the first mac build ever available to the public, so please take a swing at it!

Alright guys! It has been another hectic month, but after a rocky start, things are finally looking like they'll even out! We'll see if February, the month we all dread, will put us out again. This month we should have the most stable build you've all seen in a while, and with two major new features: Town Events and a functioning Water Tower. You can now build the water tower, and set up Mr. Buckets to automatically water your fields! Further, you can now buy Eggs every week around the middle of the week, and sell them towards the end. Jerkin will occasionally appear as well and allow you to buy monsters from him (meaning you can no longer buy them from the Guild). Finally, you can find the fem-wolf HDs in the game!

This upcoming month's build will include, if all goes well, the final version of the Farming System, more functional farm structures and interiors, and the rudimentry crafting and refining system for food stuffs. Once that's done, all that's left is to get in weather and the tournaments, and we'll be out of alpha and into beta!

Finally, to those of you who have been asking for such things, we are experimenting, tentatively, with a Mac Build, and with save file transfers, at least between hotfix versions if not full versions of the game. In Beta we'll see about getting that up to full versions of the game.

As always, thank you so much for your support and patronage!

Save Compatibility

We are experimenting with save compatibility after this version in the patch notes we will mark it with either "Save File Compatible" Or "Save File Compatibility Break". Hotfixes are more likely going to be compatibility but major version have a smaller chance of that happening.If we can get the system working to our satisfaction, then we’ll hopefully start allowing save file transfers between major versions during Beta.

Notes

• We totally have a mac build this time, but we have absolutely no clue how well it will or won’t work! Please be patient with us! And if you’re testing on Mac, and please let us know and report it as such! This is mostly so we can just test the baseline stability of the game on Mac and how big an effort will need to be invested in order to see it through.
• In a preliminary step to fixing a confirmed bug related to high domesticity and negative traits, in the stats window it will show the real value of the stat. However if a value is less than 1 for the calculations of the game, it will treat as it is 1. This will have screwy effects on monster stats and abilities until we change up how the stats are calculated.

 

Known Issues

* This is a potential fix to the linux build not working. This may cause slow downs, so please make sure to turn it on if you're experiencing slowdown issues before reporting to us 'this build is so much slower' and similar.

**If you find any interactable that you think should be highlighted let us know.
