Lay of the Land 0.6.0 The Combat Update
Hey everyone,The combat update is here. I've spent the last month overhauling the combat in the game as well as adding farming, more food, artifacts, armour, better visuals and more.I hope you enjoy the update and that you all so much for the support :)You will need to create a new world.Combat/...
Ancient Artifacts
You can now find and use various artifacts in the game, each of which has a unique function that enhances your combat abilities.
Farming and Food
I've added farming to the game. You can now plant different seeds that will grow (sped up for video) and produce food. Different foods now also give temporary buffs. E.g tomato increases max health, lean meat increases heath, mana and stamina regen rate etc.
PBR Materials
Been working on adding full PBR texture maps to the materials in the game. Each material now has color, specular, metallic, roughness and normal. Still very WIP & some reflections are funky but its promising.
Swimming
Splish splash swimming is here🏊💦🌊🫧

Lay of the Land 0.5.0 The Ambience Update
G'day everyone. I'd just like to start off by apologizing for the long delay between major updates and the lack of content in this update. The huge boost in popularity the game received from the building video lead to a huge number of bug reports and an extended hotfixing period. This is not...
There's a storm coming
I've added weather to the game. Each weather type can either be weak or strong. Also each biome can have unique weather e.g rain in Mystical Forest and dust storms in Outback Canyons.
Procedural Ambience System
In my opinion sound is as important as visuals. I've made a procedural ambience system that places/adjusts ambient sounds depending on the surrounding environment/weather conditions. No more generic looping background ambience round here.Headphones recommended.
Voxel Engine Speed Improvements
Been working on improving voxel data generation speed in Lay of the Land by using Intel's ISPC. Still working on it but the results are super promising. I've managed to get a 2-3x speedup depending on hardware.Average Bulk Voxel Data Query Time:Intel i7 6700k: 3.4x speedupNo ISPC: 6.123msISP...

A Word on the Next Update.
Hey everyone. Just thought I'd give an update on what's happening with the next update.I hope to get it out next week or the week after. This update has been the most challenging thing I've attempted in terms of game design. I don't think a building system like this has ever really b...
Path Tool Preview
You can now easily make paths with the path tool. They will blend seamlessly into the terrain and clear vegetation for you.
Building Shapes Sneak Peak
I hope you like shapes cos we got shapes. Builds dont have to be boxes. With these shapes you can easily build a circular tower, a hexagonal house or even a spherical shelter. The limit is your imagination.
Flattening Terrain Preview
Here's a look at how terrain flattening will work. Use a mattock tool in flatten mode to lower terrain to the targeted height/use a voxel item in flatten mode to raise terrain to the targeted height.
Resource Collection Preview
Quick preview of how resource collection will work in the game. Be sure you choose the right tool for the job. Use a Hammer break up and collect stone, use an axe to chop down trees etc.
Building Sneak Peak
Here's a little sneak peak at building. Still got a lot to add/improve before its ready but I'm already excited to see what people build!! 😀🏗️🚧👷.
