World Turtles News

[p]Good day, fellow Meeps![/p][p]
After 16 months of development, my second game's Steam Page is live! I've learned so much during, and following, the launch of World Turtles and I'm now ready to set out on that road again, with a backpack filled with the experience and skills I've gathered along the way.[/p][p][/p][p]Minor Deity: Command the elements to create the landscapes of your imagination in this gridless interactive sandbox. Control dynamic weather and allow vegetation and animals to flourish. Lay out towns for growing populations, establish resource outposts, and encourage trade via road, river and sea routes.[/p][p]Minor Deity Steam Page

Good day, fellow Meeps!

Here are the patch notes for version 1.04, which has just been released:

• Expanded the range you can see into space before having Lookout Towers, to make steering easier as you can plan ahead better.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused some Reeve customization not to be applied to the Reeves.
  
• Fixed a "reasonability check and log" step on loading, which caused some saved games not to load correctly and lead to a black screen. All games saved with the previous version (1.03) can still be loaded with the new version (1.04).

Good day, fellow Meeps!

For patch #3, which is now live, I've standardized camera rotation and scrolling across frame rates, and the camera movement is smoother. I've been spending some time on the "behind the scenes" of the threading and have decreased the "overhead cost" of the threads, which should improve stability and reduce occasional stutters.

The Steam Summer Sale starts in a couple of hours' time. World Turtles will be discounted by 40% for the sale, which is the largest Steam discount yet! Just saying...
