Guess what. Of course, I added more stuff. So much that we've got to start a new testnet, again.
|
|
|
|
This time, the graphics are in for a major overhaul. The main change is that voxels need no longer be cubic.
|
|
Using an isosurfaces algorithm, you can now create smoothed surfaces, to get angled slopes and more.
|
|
Voxels aren't fully sculptable, so you can't do arbitrary shapes, but a lot of new architectural options become accessible with this.
|
|
|
|
On top of this, you can place lightsources and water blocks in your 3D creations.

|
Less visible are:
|
|
- road buildings subsidy is based on a new connected graph algorithm
|
|
- account auctions (for those who want to stop playing for good and those who want to start playing from a decked out account)
|

I have been spending a lot of time AFK in the recent past, and while it should be better soon,
|
|
I can't quite predict how much time I will be able to devote to Townforge, so things may be
|
|
a bit slow. Or not. Life happens, and we adapt. Hopefully there won't be too much delay
|
|
before that new testnet. I'll post again when we get closer.
