Title: What to expect? (Next Release Preview)
Post by: Son of the King on December 05, 2013, 06:49:45 PM

The next release will be: Township pre-alpha 0.3

The last release was: Township pre-alpha 0.2

The Key Points

• 0.2 required Python 3.x, this will work with either Python 2.7 or Python 3.4.
• There will be maps of "unlimited" size.
• It will be released once I have the basic map functionality fully implemented as a "tech demo" type thing.
• There will also be an executable and installer for folk who don't want to battle with installing Python and all the required libraries.

Feature List

• User interface for playing the game, rather than the old "only hotkeys" nightmare.
• Infinite, 2D, map to build your townships.
• Trees and stone scattered around the world, with stone common in higher areas and trees mostly gathered in the lowlands.
• Villagers with a number of attributes that affect their ability to perform jobs in your township.
• Monsters who roam the world, some which seek out your township and others who are passive unless disturbed.

I got forests working today. Hopefully I'll get rocks working tomorrow (although tomorrow and Thursday are busy days for me) leaving me to work on villagers over the weekend :D .
