Game Development: Surveyor's Delight

Haven & Hearth · published 21 Jun 2025, 21:25 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

New Implementations
-----------------------

  • Implemented client-side authority surveys.
    • The client can now arbitrarily set and transfer the desired height of individual survey points to the server.
    • Used that to implement some basic sculpting tools.
    • You can pull a corner point of a survey to raise the slope of the surveyed area relative to that point.
    • You can pull any other point to move the survey area generally.
    • You can hold shift to select/create a sub-area of multiple survey points, which can be similarily modified as the survey generally.
    • Realize fully that this is not the full 3d-modelling tool required to perfectly terraform, but it is perhaps a start, and it should allow custom client makers to create their own tools to aid in surveying.

Key Fixes
-----------------------

  • Significant server side optimization work has been performed on hittesting, object delta transfers, protocol object lists, &c, which should imply significant performance gains not least in terms of peak user capacity.
  • Fixed a bug, active since the attribute modifier remake, by which the loss of knockout protection from murderous raged failed to apply correctly.
  • Fixed a bug, active since the attribute modifier remake, by which the attributes previously buffed by various alchemical ingredients accidentally changed. Previously modified attributes have now been restored.

Small Fixes
-----------------------

  • Redrew several icons, mostly under the "Crafting" submenu, in higher resolution.


As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $7 is the "Flower Cup Cap".

$7 Blooming in spring, sprouting to a full head of flowery fragrance and beauty.

All Gold & Silver subscribers have been awarded the "Flower Cup Cap", free of charge.

In the Pipe
-----------------------

  • Our primary development direction is toward object-controlled-objects.
  • Time to... like us on Facebook?
  • Time to... follow us on Twitter?

Enjoy!
