Exploration Update v0.14
Arcane Survival » Devlog
New Content:
- Added a new rocky biome.
- Added rock deposits that can be mined with a pickaxe.
- Added the Rock Slime.
- Added the Spatial Anchor (teleportation / fast travel system).
- Added the Blast Furnace.
- Added new background art for the forest (and background transitioning for biomes).
- Added mushrooms to the forest.
Harvesting / Farming UX:
- All vegegtation now auto-regrows by dropping seeds.
- Added the Shovel for digging up seeds.
- Improved the seed planting UX by putting it inside the build mode.
- Overhauled the punch attack. It feels more responsive and meaty now.
- Disabled 'E' harvesting. You destroy vegetation to farm it now.
- Converted most timers to be future-based instead of tick-based. Which means crafting / seed growing will work even when you run away and unload the chunks.
General changes:
- Made hunger more punishing.
- New sprite for the Crafting Station.
- Campfire is now always on.
- Fixed VFX not playing out properly (the visual glitches that would hang in the air).
- Removed the Crude Club (serves no purpose with the new punch attack).
- Better diagnostics. Made it translucent so it's less obtrusive.
- New vfx for death poof.
Core tech:
- I decided to scrap any future plans for multiplayer and basically reverted the entire last update.
- Going down that route was a mistake. I should've decided up-front that I wasn't going to implement multiplayer instead of sitting on the fence. It would've saved me a few weeks of effort. You live and you learn I guess...
- The game now updates at a variable rate again since it's really not that big of a deal. There's just a simple frame limiter.
