Just wanted to share it for no particular reason :)



The art was finished yesterday, so I added that stuff into the game today. Now we are officially finished with farming implementation.

If they are different "levels", that's the kind of "progress" i don't like much in survival games. For some tools yes, wood < stone < iron makes sense, but i can drink as well in a wooden cup as in a glass one.

Anyway, the art of the game is cute and readable so far, and i only want to see more.

No worries, we aren't blindly following what's considered "the norm", even for the most trivial things we are trying to find some new ideas that would make the game a bit more interesting and engaging :)
Same applies here, depending on what you are after you might use different types of the same item.

#19


We've just finished adding this new suit!
But frankly we aren't entirely sure what to even call it now :)
It is supposed to be a good combination of conventional armored suit as well as environmental protection suit (aka hazmat).
As you can see in the screenshot below we are currently just calling it "Environmental Protection Armor", but I don't really like that name. Not to mention it's too long.
Maybe you guys have some better ideas what to call it?



PS - another interesting thing about this armor is that it occupies all three slots (head+chest+legs) unlike all other armor sets.

APART ? Environmental Protection Armor Requiring Trisloted.
GPS ? Green Padded Suit
Void Armor ?

The first one is funny, I like it :)
That's literally what it is!
Not sure if we will actually use it, but it's a decent candidate :)

I was wondering where were the updates !

Well about the production chaines, it's classic and effective, i would say. I hope there are more than one ressource for each material. For example sugar from at least 4 different plants - i don't know their names in english. Under ground, ground, tree, flower...

I like the arts, also.

More I look at the updates, more I want to try the game - and this a good feeling to have - so AI, hurry up with the linux client <3

Guys! We will have the second closed test VERY soon.

Right now we are implementing (or rather ai_enabled is implementing, I should say) the new serialization library to enable the game to save and when that's done we will launch that second closed test. I really hope you guys can be a part of it!

Although, I must say again that there won't be a linux build any time soon, sorry. We just can't afford to split our efforts into supporting several OS at this point as this would only slow the development down. The plan it to have a solid beta first, and then, when it's quite close to being ready, then we will be able to also create and support other OSes. But linux build is certainly a priority for us. Our first two games were received very well by the linux community, so we certainly wouldn't want to disappoint you guys with this one :)

Tchey

I understand Linux coming later in development, and i trust you for doing a good port then, as your previous ones where nice with great suuport. As long as it's good for release day (and not 2 years later like some other devs...) it's fine.

I completely agree with the Linux client - but once you guys do a more public launch then I have to say that you really need to support the 3 OS's. Games with early Linux support are highly appreciated by the community.

I sadly don't run Windows anymore so I won't be able to help out on these tests.

btw Lurler, Kunix is ready to host a dedicated server for Cryofall
