v1.19 Release and unlocked codebase
Hey folks This version has minor changes not really anything of major note except I have taken the decision to lower the price of the game and release it. The main reasoning is I am desperate for feedback to continue, after a long winter of making no progress in the development I needed to change the scenery in order to get some refreshment. The main code change in 1.19 is that ALL code of the game and my engine (monkey box) has been unlocked and is viewable and editable in the src/game and src/monkey_box directories, have a look, play about. Modding was added with workshop support but needs user content. Whatever, enjoy. I will follow up soon with a quick start guide and am monitoring for feedback before I commit to changes needed to improve this game. Comments, feedback criticisms just fire up into a steam post or on the team-jungle.com forum. Thank you. Charles.Read full article on Community Announcements (Munki)Patch NotesOfficial
Early Access Patch v1.17
The Workshop is now open. The `Mod Manager` tool is ready for use and a modding user guide is available to get started with modding. This document will be updated with more content when ready.Read full article on Community Announcements (Munki)Patch NotesOfficial
Early Access Patch v1.16
Changes: Baked in 'burned' scenery textures have been disabled to speed up loading time and reduce texture usage. The auto-map now uses an rgba8 canvas, from rgba4, to support older graphics cards. The main game texture atlas can now auto-scale-down textures for graphics cards that do not support large textures, such as pre-OpenGL 3.3 supported cards. Fixes: UI bug fix for new load-out HUD. Next up: The next patch, v1.17, will include a mod-manager tool and new content. Stay tuned.Read full article on Community Announcements (Munki)Patch NotesOfficial
Early Access Patch v1.15
New: Random maps can now be 'travel sized', that is an extra wide map with little height. On screen messages can be posted to the player, such as when entering a map location. Toughened Land Stalker and Toughened Desert Warrior armour added (level 9). The HUD now has two compact modes enabled by default. These reduce the space used by the equipment and menu buttons, and can be disabled in the HUD section of the interface options. Face picker has a done button to improve ease of use. Changes: Clean up for TAB hover information. Tweaks to night-time lighting levels for better colour and atmosphere. Shadow effects cleaned up. All vector line-work in the UI is finer and looks neater. Code-base has been re-organised and cleaned up, there are minor performance improvements. Movement animation tweaked slightly so that the timings are reset when an actor stands still (animation improvement tweaks will come shortly). Fixes: Visual error in female Land Stalker and Desert Warrior armour fixed. Desert Warrior gear now has changed colours for leg component.Read full article on Community Announcements (Munki)
