Downloading the new build now

Just a heads up it seems like the best way to run it is on medium settings and just turn up graphics settings manually instead of switching presets. At least until we get some of the bugs figured out. Also start in edit mode instead of play mode in the new build a new bug has surfaced 

[Jubal]

I've been running things on low graphics generally so I can actually have a decent play with building things.

A few thoughts & observations:

• In edit mode, I want to be able to move the camera faster most of the time, it can be pretty slow flying around trying to build any sort of decent sized village.
• In playing mode, it's the reverse, I often find I need to move slightly slower so I can keep running around without running off cliffs/bridges regularly.
• The tools aren't always very responsive for some reason, it can take me a few attempts to switch between height and flatten tools for example.
• When building/extending foundations it's often unclear in which direction they will end up being extended, which can be extremely frustrating.
• When extending a house from a foundation (eg when building at sea) it always seems to create a 2 by X building with one storey and one of the roof fronts missing, even if I tried to create say a 5 storey tower.
• On some small buildings the rooves don't appear at all.
• I'd actually put saves of islands etc in the game's own folder rather than in AppData - a lot of people don't actually know how to find the AppData folder or have it hidden, and people will presumably be likely to want to share their islands!

You can actually change the flying camera speed with the mouse wheel, I might have forgot to say that in the tutorials D: It does say it on the first help screen that automatically pops up though.

I've never actually tried creating a building from a foundation before.

Some of the other things sound like something else went wrong and caused that stuff to break. In that case I would try saving the level and then re opening it. I think we might have another build up today which has a bunch of bug fixes and allows you to change out the roof pieces and triangle end pieces.

There's a new build on the website should be more stable. In other news, we are #1 in the Steam Greenlight Concepts section so thanks for the support. This will hopefully help more people find out about the game.

[Jubal]

Just realised I hadn't gotten round to upvoting you on Greenlight - done that now!

[PaperBagCrusher]

We've got a pretty large update to share. There's a devlog on our youtube channel to sum it up. But basically we have like 100 new architectural building pieces that allow for a ton of building variation now. We've also started working on inventory, a food system, 1st and 3rd person character views, and setting up actions in the game which is what we will use to design quests eventually.

Glorious stuff, looks lovely!

is the kickstarter backing standard per currency or is it based on a single currency like USD?

I think kickstarter will just convert your currency to whatever currency the project uses. Our kickstarter actually failed though so I've updated the thread to reflect that. We are going to work on the game for another 9 months and then try again. I saw earlier you had a question about quests and yes players will be able to create their own complete RPG experience including quests. The possibility for extra free content is one of our main pitches.

This looks and sounds great! I'll be sure to try out the demo soon when I get a chance.

[PaperBagCrusher]

I'm glad you are interested! I would wait a little while though the build on our website right now is not the one from the latest video. We will be uploading that soon and I'll post here so you can know.

[PaperBagCrusher]

The new demo build is up on our website be sure to check it out. There's also some new stuff that wasn't in the video 

[Jubal]

Good to see it going so well
