Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

This week we're dropping a sneak peek at our favorite ARK2 tiny-armed, horned stomper in the form of the Carnotaurus! Granted, it's technically the only creature with all of those characteristics combined but the point is - we love our fresh iteration of the Carno and hope you do too! We carno tell you how excited we are to drop ARK2 morsels (sorry!)

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Tony “Thick44” Schnur.
His positive impact on the ARK community cannot be overstated. His kindness and passion
for games left a lasting impact on those who knew him and fostered a beautifully supportive community. There was something very charming about the dynamic between Tony and his four Neebs Gaming comrades that led to their content being cherished by ARK players and gamers in general. We would like to extend our deepest condolences
to his family, his friends and his community during this time of mourning.
Although you have ascended, your legacy will never be forgotten.
Long live the Wyvern King!

We'll cook up a steak in your honor, Soldier. Thank you ❤️

We would like to share with you Neebs Gaming’s very first ARK: Survival Evolved video,
where Thick sits down with Neebs and Appsro to see if he can get them interested in playing the game.
This video was the start of legendary tales told through more than 300 episodes.



We have a plan to add something to our Valguero shrine for Those Who Have Ascended for both Tony along with other community members who have passed. Whilst the shrine is dedicated to all, we'd like to more personally honor people individually. We have had the intention of adding a wall where names can be added for some time but we'd like this to be implemented in a dynamic way on the technical side so this will take a little time.


Over on Twitter, @TeamSOTF is hosting their Winter Cup 2023.
The main event will be held on the final Saturday of the month, February 25, 2023 11:00 AM Pacific Time.
It will be hosted on Twitch and YouTube by Icebox, Omnikevfka and Raasclark.

Hi players!

If you have not learned yet, you can play the beta for the full release of Nightly Maintenance under the beta tab of Steam. I upload a new beta every time I do something significant. It's a great way to test out features before they are released and help me fix things that need to be fixed. Join the discord to help me fix things!

Thank you,

Hi all!

This week was mostly bug-fixing & cleaning up things here and there. Up next I think I'll tackle some of the UI for viewing and managing party health, such as treatments for injuries and sicknesses.

I first wrote the tile-based inventory for the exploration side of the game over a year ago, and have been putting off fixing some long-standing bugs. Namely issues with rotating asymmetrical items like the rifle shown below (4x1). Luckily most of the issues I had were easy enough to fix once I dug into it.

The core concept is that you can bring items with you from your party's inventory when you go exploring. For example, you could bring a rifle and ammo along for hunting. On the other side of the coin is being able to bring things back with you when you're done. Collecting things like meat, plants, fish, and valuables will help keep your journey moving smoothly.

The limit to what you can carry will be determined by two things: your weight capacity, and what you can fit on your person via the tiles. Certain tile zones will only allow certain types of items. Such as in the image below, the rifle will only be allowed to be carried in the backpack or shoulder tiles, and only small items can fit in the pockets.

A to-do item is to visually indicate where items can be dropped while dragging them so it's not just a guessing game.



The other semi-major change is finally getting an implementation of hooking into Steam's API, mostly for achievements, but also just to get events and info from Steam.

That's all I've got this time around, thanks for reading!

- C


Steam:
Setup tests for Steam achievements.
Fix steam_appid.txt not having JEX's APPID.
SteamUtil & build version check refactor.
Check Steam persona when initialized.
Add simple static way to check what kind of build is running.
Logging and some cleanup.
Add Steamworks library, remove old version binaries.
Wire into it with simple singleton class in the GameCore.
Flush changes for newly acquired achievements so they register right away.

Exploration:
Fix PerimeterSlots never being cleared properly in a TileSlot.
Fix TileSlot opacity being reset when it was a perimeter but became the root (ShiftDrag).
Fix issue in the TileInventoryController where ColumnCount was no longer being updated correctly because the Tile size changed.
Add external inventory as a TileInventoryController so items can fall back to there if they can't fit in the player's inventory.
Fixed bug where self-intersections of Tile perimeter slots would cause a Tile drag to fail in inventory UI.

- fixed: there was a one blueprint item in the game that should not be there, we removed it
