Friday Progress Report 407

Tree Update Part 1 is here!

Edengrall finally has actual trees, right now only non-fruit trees are implemented, but we are working on the fruit trees to release them in the following weeks.



The most basic features of the trees are done, they grow slowly, can be cut down, change colors based on season and lose leaves on winter. Their trunks have collision and you can climb on them.

The features we will develop next are: flowering, fruiting, growth of mushrooms and residing critters (beetles, bees, etc) and planting new tree by collecting their sapplings.

We also added a new feature: Shipwreck crates and barrels, they use the same Scavenging skill as the treasure mounds, but the tool required is the axe instead of the shovel.



We are now taking a short break, but we will soon go back to work to finish the tree update with at least 12 new fruit trees.
