  • Reworked terrain to allow for textures

  • 21 new terrain textures

  • Terrain surfaces painting with weights in MapEd

  • Improved and reworked some house models (Stonecutters, Sawmill)

  • Improved water reflections

  • More temp house models (not final)

  • Performance charts show CPU and GPU usage

  • Autosave interval now can be changed from settings

  • More placeholder sounds (not final)

  • Automated game installer

  • Allowed to build towers within 10 tiles from houses without need for a road (not final)

  • Packed all data files into a single resource file

  • Reworked fighting mechanics to be less random (not final)

  • Show unit hitpoints and damage in GUI (not final)

  • Allow to select and see basic info about enemies houses/units and animals

  • Placeholder houses now have player flags too

  • Added separate “neutral” player in MapEd for animals

  • Made animations smooth on high frame rates by adding interpolation between frames

  • Tweaked wares production rates

  • Improved how AI selects houses to build

  • Fixed how AI plans and stocks defence lines

  • Added developers function to save a game into a mission script

  • Units thoughts are visible at any zoom level now

This is still Alpha, there are likely a lot of bugs, flaws, incomplete things, broken mechanics and such.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Very ambitious construction going on in Planet Zoo on Plays today. We're tryin'. LIVE: www.twitch.tv/dreamhackplays

Made my first ever animation.
