As you may guess by the title of this post I have decided to do weekly updates from now on; each friday evening (if time permits). This may not mean a new version each week, but at least an update about the current state of development. I want to reach version 1 of the Age by mid december(at least my part of the work on it), that leaves me around 6 weeks; and having regularly scheduled updates will help me reach that deadline.
Today, as I had hinted at earlier, there is a new version (0.8.7) which fixes most of the known remaining bugs from version 0.8.6. Most notably:
- Prin Pahts nexus books have all been repositioned, you should not link inside a wall anymore of fall through the floor.
- Light flares on the regular lampposts are now all visible (and so is the sun). (they will be here on larger lampposts later)
- Missing collisions on large blue courtyard have been fixed
- Missing or bugged collisions on some bridges have been fixed
If you see anything that looks like a bug (especially collisions) I'd be very gratefull if you could report it in this thread.
-> Download. (28 megs) - Just extract the files in the right directories and overwrite the old files if you already have a version.)
Also, I wanted to publish a new larger plan of the Age today, but time was missing so that will be for tomorrow. Until then the shells plan here has been updated and the linking point has been added to help you find your way in this big city.
Now that the Age is stable, next week a new version will be there which will include lots of new content. Essentially new courtyards scattered in the Blue district, but other things like plans of the city in some courtyards, direction signs to help you find your way and more.
As usual, comments, critics, and questions are always welcome.
