This update turned out bigger than usual, but it is quite normal and expected.
Some time ago we published a plan of development, and new inventory and production systems - it is a first item in the list. This is the most important items in the list, because everything else will be based on this new inventory. Mining, production, fuel and ammo consumption, etc. All of these aspects of the game was rewritten.
We want to test it carefully in order to be sure that system is more or less compatible with features which will be added in the future on top of it.
Overall architecture is done and mostly we are working on testing and various small improvements, so we need some more time. But don't worry, it will not take 6 months like it was with Galaxy update : )
And some new images. This is how production module looks.
Those who followed Celestial Command from the beginning, may remember something similar to it from the earlier version of the game, but now it works better than before and we added more parts.
We redesigned style of icons for basic elements, the new one looks nice. Also some parts lacks its own icons, we are working on it.
As you all know, Grimtale islands development stopped. this was due to my own error in not backing files up (this version is all backed up)
I decided to knuckle down a re build the game from the ground up because i am not one of thoes people who will sell a product and not finish it, this time however i made grimtale island better.
This friday i will release the first build of the new version of Grimtale island... this build will include.
* Brand new weapon and animation system * A whole new island to explore. (this island is small but i can assure you that a massive one is in development) * Brand new AI system * Hunting * Building * Day night cycle * Player conditions * Early implimentation of Farming (only wheat can be grown but you will be able to grow a wide variaty of crops in the coming updates)
The first build you will revieve on friday is just a small part of what Grimtale island will be and a very early look into the mechanics so please be aware that i am only releasing the build early because i want you guys to be able to play and say what you like and what you dont like about the new version.
thank you all! and i hope you are looking forward to friday as much as i am!
Michael schade (lead and only developer on grimtale island)
