Upgrade Abilities Implementation
I hooked up the new upgrade system to the robot abilities. These serve as quality of life improvements and most will not be required for traversing certain areas. Instead, my goal is to allow flexibility so that you can use your favorite tool to cross certain regions.
The balancing for this will be done this week.
Multiplayer Messages
You can write a message of up to 64 characters in length and leave it behind as a useful hint or as a silly message. We do have automated moderation for the text so you can't leave behind stuff that is TOO funny. Also, it is not possible to spam these "message flowers", as they are called, because the client only receives a maximum of 10 randomly selected flowers in a given area.
These messages are batched by language so you won't see french or spanish unless that is what your system language is set to.
This should help prevent users from missing game mechanics or locations of certain gifts.
Preparing For Release
Due to Christmas and New Years, December build will be released 1 week earlier (This coming weekend the 21st/22nd). Therefore these last few days I will be taking in more feedback, cleaning up more bugs, and generally polishing existing features to make the gameplay ever more smooth. I am always active on Discord if you have any suggestions.
There are some things that require tweaking and ease of use including but not limited to:
The fast travel system
HUD issues
physics issues
I plan to have a quick go at these issues before release.
Stay tuned!
