Hello everyone!

This update includes the following:

1. Added a new escape method: When there's only one player on the map, this new escape method will be activated. Simply find the location and press E to escape.

2. New map and character selection scenarios.

3. Reduced the ranged attack range of the Zombie Dragon.

4. Added an experimental item box.

5. Some bug fixes and game optimizations.

Fixes Included:

✅ Settings Menu - You can now press ESC anytime to open it, even in-game! No more Alt + F4 to quit.
✅ Main Menu - Fixed an issue where the main menu would sometimes appear blank and force a restart.
✅ Voice Chat - Should now function correctly across all lobbies. (Please report if you still have issues.)
✅ 5-Player Lobbies - Now fully supported!

These were urgent fixes that needed to be done right away.
More bug fixes and improvements are coming soon - just wanted to get the important ones out quickly for everyone.

Bugfixes

Options menu and quit button is now accessible on the title screen.

Video options are in the works for changing to and from full screen as well as setting resolutions.

Requires Server/Client Updates

This patch adds the new Aftershock Skin to the Acid Spitter DLC. If you already own the DLC, you get the skin free. If you do not own the DLC, you will need to buy the Blitz Striker DLC or obtain the skin through nesting.

• Added the new Aftershock Skin as a free update to the Blitz Striker DLC. Players who own the DLC will receive the skin free. Other players will need to be nested in or purchase the Blitz Striker DLC to obtain the skin.,

• Added temperature mechanic to the game. Temperature changes based on seasons, time of day, weather, being indoors such as in caves, and status effects such as burning and freezing.,

• Environment panel UI now correctly shows local environment temperature and creature temperature. The environment can be hot, but a Fire species would be comfortable.,

• Different dragons have different cold and hot weather tolerances.,

• Creature Comfort levels now directly impact stamina when not comfortable, stamina drains faster when hot, and regens slower when cold, and is normal when comfortable.,

• Inferno ability provides ideal comfort for Inferno Ravagers even in the cold.,

• Added regional weather system. Forgotten Forest mountain peaks should be in perpetual winter now, always cold with a chance of snow.,

• Added Pupil Dilation for dragons. Pupils should now dilate depending on ambient light.

• Updated various Regurgitation SFX

• Shimmer Slider now saves on respawn and relog between sessions.,

• Increased the Max Crop Weight of Brood Watchers, making them the goto for pearl transport for a future update.

• Pearls now remember if they were equipped between respawns

• Fixed a bug where bound skin pearls were lost on respawn

Howdy Everyone. (I'm in Texas now y'all). It's been awhile! About time I post an update.

1. Textures are black when starting or loading a map

   What happened: shaders are not compiling for AMD hardware.

   Solution: The next build will fix this issue

2. The game wont stop zooming in

   What happened: I forgot to comment out controller/joystick code (for media creation)

   Solution: Unplug all joysticks/controllers. I'll comment out the code in the next build

• I've reached the point in development where I'm adding simulation gameplay

• These features are strongly interconnected

• Thus: Pushing out an update is not feasible until all the parts are working together

• This might be the final push to alphaːsteamhappyː

\[Only major features are listed] -- Gifs are below!

1. Terrain height, generation, and manipulation. Note: Roads and buildings cannot be placed on elevated terrain, this is coming after launch. Most other objects can be placed though.

2. Tutorial for the mayor house

3. Lots of new assets/objects

4. Custom roofs

5. New buildings (Bakery, Dentist, Optometrist, Arcade, Utility Buildings)

6. Utilities: Electricity, telecoms, cable, water, and sewage

7. Overlays, view modes, and warning icons

8. Inability to place businesses unless there's enough demand

9. High density residential auto zones (aka classic zone->growth placement)

10. A lot more included blueprints

11. Municipal service simulation (police, fire, hospital)

While working on the terrain, I burnt out and stopped working on the game in August and September. I decided to move out of Vermont cause there's no game development industry up here, and the isolation sucked. So in September, I traveled around the US, was (pleasantly) reminded how friggen big and diverse this country is, and ended up choosing Austin, TX as my new home (the industry is pretty big down here).

I'm now feeling much better and productive, and I'm excited that I'm entering the development phase of "putting it all together".

Fun: Simulating, Pathing, and Rendering 100,000 units at 30 FPS.
