| Community | Development Update: Customizable Reeves, Diplomacy and Improved Optimization Good day fellow Meeps! I've got some exciting updates to share! Customize Your Reeves You will be able to customize your Reeves (one Male and one Female), and these settings will be used whenever a Reeve joins your Realm. Diplomacy / AI Realm Interactions I've added diplomacy / interactions with the AI Realms to the game at last! Each AI realm will focus on a speciality, for example Woodcutting… | — | |
| Community | Development Update: Reeves and Treating Wounds! Good day fellow Meeps! Development around the new controllable Meeps (which I call Reeves) is progressing well, and I've expanded on a number of things in the last month and a half. Controllable Reeves I've completed the way Reeves are selected and displayed, allowing the player to easily keep track of more than one. Selecting a Reeve temporarily hides non-applicable in-map UI to make it clear… | — | |
| Community | Content Creators Music Claims: Whitelisting / Simple Attribution Required :( EDIT: I am working with Alexander to try and find different ways to automatically "whitelist" videos. As of 08Jan2023, if your video description contains "World Turtles", you should be fine. We're also looking at the possibility of videos tagged with the YouTube "World Turtles" meta-tag to automatically whitelist the video, so that most of this should happen behind the scenes with as little eff… | — | |
| Community | Development Update: Controlling Special Meeps! Good day fellow Meeps! After spending loads of time on the recent UI update, I've started working on new gameplay features again. First off, I'm adding the functionality to allow manual control over certain individual Meeps. These Meeps will be required to perform special tasks required to keep the realm ticking over efficiently. Icons will appear at special locations around the map for some ta… | — | |
| Community | Progress Update and some Personal News Good day, fellow Meeps, I considered carefully whether I should mention this here, and finally decided I should. I recently took a 4-week "working holiday" with my wife and kids - we camped in tents for 3 nights driving down to stay with good friends for a couple of weeks before heading back. Towards the end of the trip my mother unexpectedly passed away... So, I've had a couple of weeks largel… | — | |
| Community | Preview of the new UI/UX progress Good day, fellow Meeps! It's been a while since the last update, and I wanted to post some screenshots of the new UI/UX progress, to show off what I've been working on with the UI team. Almost all of the required artwork pieces have been completed, but I'm also spending a lot of time on the new layouts, functionality and behind-the-scenes technicalities, so that the updated UI/UX is much more t… | — | |

| Community | Improved Optimization Good day, fellow Meeps! I've been spending a lot of time on optimization recently, and wanted to mention a few improvements that will be included in the next update: · I'm now emitting all "dust" and "water spray" visuals from a single pair of particle systems , changing its parameters before emitting specific particles, where previously I placed a copy of the system at each point where dust /… | — | |
| Community | Smoother Terrain Triangulation and Less Restrictive Building Placement Good day, fellow Meeps! I've been working on the following very impactful changes: · An alternative terrain triangulation for a much smoother look. · Relaxing restrictions on building placement, making it easier to find suitable locations. Terrain Triangulation I have completely reworked the triangulation to make the terrain more flowing, less blocky. This increases the GPU needs, but the origi… | — | |

| Community | But ... isn't this just a The Wandering Village / Discworld clone!? Hi all, There are, understandably, two very frequent connotations being made between World Turtles and existing popular culture. I wanted to address those briefly here. TL;DR We all have a very positive relationship and mutual respect for each other’s efforts and intentions! 😊 The Wandering Village I have actually become online friends with Philomena (team lead of The Wandering Village), and s… | — | |

If anyone still find this happening, please let me know. ________________________ While World Turtles seems to be working well on most Linux and Mac machines , there have been a few exceptions (details below).
