Hello!

New patch with news Grenades, new souls containers (bigger capacity), new magitech gates and the new shield mechanics! (you will now have a gauge linked to the shield, when you use it, it will cancel 90% of the damages if you have enough gauge left for that).
Many optimizations make the game run better on some computers when the world contains many elements (monsters, magitech etc)


Adds: - reworked rendering engine to fix all transparency problems on the entity layer - shield jauge that absorb damages - lua added for grenades/throwable items - 8 new grenades - old grenades explode on contact with the enemy - graphs for debug/performances analysis (F3 > graphs > enable graphs) - debug option to see bounding/render boxes and paths (pathfinding) - new magitech gates: pixel line, full adder, modulo, div and a new memory block type - 6 new soul containers - ability to change the color of a soul container by coloring the backwall at the top left - reworked magitech crafts (uses less resources) Optimizations: - updated compiler (only windows) to generate a faster binary - wisp/repty/devourer lua code optimized (divided update time by 3) - hide offscreen monsters - optimized the loading time of worlds with a lot of decorations and especially magitech - greatly optimized magitech pipes - greatly optimized rendering of objects (factorized render states) - a lot of other optimizations overall, the game should run much faster Fix: - pathfinding issue - error if click on 'new' button on magic preview - magitech debug infos removed on tooltips - random crash when using balls - incubator can crash if you keep the UI open and go far away - tooltips are still visible when we hide the UI (F5) - magic creation quest dialog
News grenades!










Souls containers that have bigger capacity and you have the possibility to change the color!


And this is our last youtube video "how to pixel art" that will show you how we animated the future new fall/get up zombie animation!

Hello, quick patch to fixes somes bugs and add the possibility to use command line interface to host and join a hosted game directly without having to go through the game interface !

Only available for Windows and linux, this update will come for Mac later.

Ex: ./PlanetCentauri --host -p 7777 --user 0 --world 1 (for powershell : replace / by \\ ) Note: it will not start an headless server, but this is planned. - We can also use the CLI to join without the need to go through the main menu. Ex: ./PlanetCentauri --join --ip onidev.fr --port 7777 --user 1 - brutor transformation: running by default - don't display the 'R' tooltip on mounts if transformed - don't display blocks/deco previews if transformed Fixed: - if client transformed, new chunks are not loaded - Monsters are invisible in magic preview / skill previews - skeleton: if special spawn, become invisible after the animation - scorpion and skeleton miniboss crash - ice eagle: no name, no damages, no loots - bullet/beam attack of multiple monsters do only 1 dmg - block picker is now disabled if player is transformed - block picker is now disabled if a chatbox is open, even if we don't write

Hello!

We move on to the second stage of an overall improvement of the multiplayer experience! The game will now require much less network resources than before and will allow those who are far away from each other and those with a natural "not-that-low" ping to play in better conditions.

Lua also continues its step-by-step invasion, the monsters that have just been, for the most part, remade in LUA allow motivated modders to modify the behavior/actions/AI of the monsters and dynamically without restarting the game! (F11 key).

Thank you for your support and have a nice day!

Example of the new network system with 300 ping and 100msc inconsistency - With the new algorithm, the monster is much smoother while consuming only 10% of the bandwidth of the old version!


Pinatas!
]

Changelog: - 30+ monsters translated into lua, so you can modify all of their logic / actions / AI without any access to the engine's code. Also allows us to modify/upgrade/fix monsters without the need to recompile the game on each platform. Can also be used to hot reload (F11) monsters so we don't need to restart the game to test the changes. - New networking algorithm (delta compression) for monsters, used atm only on lua monsters to replace the old networking method that was heavy and glitched - Optimized netplay coordinates representation so data required to update monsters is really low - Custom global tickrate algorithm (netplay) - Inconsistency smoothing algorithm (netplay) - Real server/client logic for monsters. Remote monsters don't have AI/logic, and just render stuff with some interpolation. When a client hit a monster, it become the "server" for this monster so it can uses combos on it without any delay problems (that cancels combos) - Some big refactoring of the engine to detect more errors, etc... - Cow: Possibility to jump while running, cows are better controllable overall - Added two decorations: pinatas LUA: - Hot reload with F11 - Errors handling without the game stopping (errors are displayed in the chat) - Added delta compression for netplay (much reliable and lightweight) - Added sound sources, with looping, spacial position - Binded light emitters to lua so monsters can emit light (ex: wisp) - Shaders UniformList (used in repty for example) Fix: - Cow/chicken manger image is random - Cow/chicken manger can't be reversed - Placing a cow in transformation/sacrifice table can cause a crash - Dimension switch crash in multiplayer - Pet house missing egg icon - Problem with chat + bockpicker and builder tools - Boar run attack don't have recoil - Pets problems in multiplayer

IMPORTANT: If you have crash after an update of the game, the cause will often be the same : Steam will not have properly removed old files that should have been replaced during the update for some unknown reason.

To solve this problem, do a "verify integrity of game files" (right clic on the game, properties, local files) :



You also can (For windows only!) simply remove the whole game manually by going here and delete the folder planet centauri :

Hello,

Following the price change for Ukraine, we also drastically reduce the price of the game for the following countries :

CIS (Old price $9.99 // New price $3.50)
- Armenia
- Azerbaijan
- Belarus
- Georgia
- Kyrgyzstan
- Moldova
- Tajikistan
- Uzbekistan.

SASIA: (Old price $14.99 // New price $3.50)
- Bangladesh
- Bhutan
- Nepal
- Pakistan
- Sri Lanka

When the game was launched, we had followed Steam's advice and looked at the pricing policy of other indie games with the same price as us. It turns out that I should have been more careful.
I would like to apologize to everyone who would have bought our game with the old price

We don't know how long it will take for the new price to hit the store, but we hope it will be soon.

Wishing you all a happy new year!

Hello,

Following a discussion with a Ukrainian player on our discord, I discovered that the price applied for planet centauri in Ukraine was much too high.

When the game was launched, we had followed Steam's advice and looked at the pricing policy of other indie games with the same price as us. It turns out that I should have been more careful.
I would like to apologize to the Ukrainian players who would have bought our game and announce that we have reduced the price by 50% from 229 to 114 Hryvnia

We don't know how long it will take for the new price to hit the store, but we hope it will be soon.

Wishing you all a happy new year!

Здрастуйте,

Після обговорення з українським гравцем питань нашого дiскорду я виявив, що ціна на планету Кентавр в Україні була занадто високою.

Коли гра була запущена, ми слідували порадам Steam і розглядали цінову політику інших інді-ігор за тією ж ціною, що і ми. Виявляється, я повинен був бути обережнішим.
Я хотів би вибачитися перед українськими гравцями, які придбали б нашу гру, і повідомити, що ми знизили ціну на 50% з 229 до 114 гривня

Ми не знаємо, скільки часу знадобиться, поки нова ціна з’явиться в магазині, але ми сподіваємось, що це буде швидко.

Бажаю всім щасливого кінця року!

Hello!
We know that we have a multiplayer that is causing a lot of problems for those who have the slightest micro instability of connection (not to mention the bugs) and we are currently working on optimizing the sending of data that weighed too much. It is not finished yet but Oni already solved a lot of problems related to the multiplayer and still working on it.

Beside that, the transformation of the monsters from c++ to lua is going very well for the moment. Once we have modified all the monsters already in the game, we will be able to add new biomes and monsters much more simply and we have LOTS of monsters already animated that are just waiting to be integrated.

I know that the news is not very exciting at the moment but we will soon come back on the major update of the village and the trades to finish this as soon as possible.

Thank you all for your support!
