The implementation of flow maps continues. We finally have active object avoidance in-game now.

Still lots to do, but it's all coming together.

Basic group movement added. This isn't flocking, not even sure we're going to add that at this point.

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Flow field pathfinding for single units now fully restored. They work for bridges and tunnels now.

We're introducing flocking to remedy the clumping seen in the vid.

Flowmaps have returned. This will be the main thing for version 0.08. Should improve pathfinding significantly.

Also, current map count: 103.

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

Decided to replace all icons in the game with easier-to-make and more readable icons.

These icons will be dynamic and be colored with the faction and camo colors in-game.

Cheers, C.Rad
