  Patch Works # 3 / 1,000,000

  Hi again, today we are doing a short update, to keep updated, updated. here are the beautiful patch notes, enjoy vvv. the-patch-notes: transparent backgrounds ability to ui windows. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/98f5bbb8bf581c4acd3c4e880e32c18700062b25.png re-stylised the code for windows / panels. (for myself to understand better) renamed scrollbar to slider, as a more proper base class. sliders almost have accurate tick / tickers able to display when snapping (this is terribly broken, trust me bro) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/043fd383b9d8013d6d5c5139bd06f7f4db81977b.png nineslice ability to render a certain strip of the sprite. fixed up slider slightly glitchy visuals. progress bars can now render as a cropped sprite instead of just a nineslice bar. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/b5c941daf36a20cd5a0f477b7b7ce51faa787820.png added error item sprite for items that are not complete / broken. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/8fe41449e1cf7c2743da336983e71ff69fc93246.png added item variants for all liquids in the game. (like hold-able liquid water, instead of a bucket of water) fixed some more ui naming inconsistencies. fixed some item ui scaling bugs with the error sprite. due to world generation being under construction, I added a (click here) to the combat arena button. isolated some more of the ui's code. fixed alot of code for the ui theme-ing. (dark_mode / light_mode etc) themes now by default display dark theme sprites until I assign new sprites. added proper support for multiple themes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/30b652416f28283306b4688ba20fdca49c955a58.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/47bb0e5563008cf0d118c3ba515034a3f2d55c1a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/7b6f1fbb5d5c9e354808e2cb55a9580cb6ee0f05.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/75092b35d683aa928850a2c1ecb56cbc812f6d79.png fixed bug where "sprites loaded" would persist. fixed bug with align_box, trying to align dead nodes. attempted to make an infinite scroller ui thingy today.

  Patch Works # 1 / 1,000,000

  Quickfix today Made sure all file reads are actually open, so no more file not found/opened errors. Fixed some button text rendering issues. (popped up related to old world saves) Nothing entirely game breaking. Because if you click "play world" as you created a new world Then if you never crashed before atleast one autosave, Then you could have just used the Recent World load button, Which would have never thrown this error. Anyways, please break my game more, and tell me about it. (actually) Also have fun!

  All Has Meaning Update

  Hello there, it's been 2 months, in this update I redid quite alot of things. To start, now there is a main storyline to the game. (no major spoilers) Carland our brave adventurer, Needs our help. You can now talk to Carland and he will guide you along The first few steps of the game, to help you get started. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/09a4029f71f2bf7bb5363e636e062c6334e47d7d.png That means, we have npc's with dialogue, and choices to make! (although linear atm) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/a212f9e9615f47d38dbd95d405388740255c4aef.png Since the entity re-write, now Carland can theoretically die. I didn't have enough time to make what allows the player to revive him. But he has alot of health, and I've never accidentally killed him... yet. (warning you will break progression if you kill him at the moment.) Certain entities can get hungry and path towards tiles they find as food to prevent starvation. Entities have a predator / prey sense that makes them target other things in the world and chase after or run away from them Added item pedestals. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/4953c37f113a4809f3d433e2321e8b1371324282.png They have one inventory slot and allow you to show off your cool items. Split the world into processing chunks {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/ee77e4728282e083343d7831082066cf72283229.png All entities in those bright red chunks are processed realtime. Anyone outside of those nearby chunks will be processed once per second. We now have Tentacles!! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/5a9a9df6fbad86eaeea1f7f2af9afd73b1c2ae62.png You can now kiss the fireflies! *blush* {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43614279/15e14cc21df71a2d035785f4be3aeba46630b27b.png There is now a tier progression with tools Meaning that some blocks are just not breakable until you get the right tool. And now with the rest of the patch notes: added bugs / insects. fixed title screen buttons. fixed crafting menu stuff. finished the minimap's cluster position system. for use in entity and insect processing. fixed c...
