Take Shelter | Devblog #26

I have added an Air Raid Siren, that will warn you of incoming danger.

Wild Omission will launch into early access on the 24th of November 2023!


Previously if there was a connection error, the game would just boot you back to the main menu, with no warning or prompt explaining what happened. I have now added a system for displaying messages if there was an error that required the game sending you back to the main menu. I have waited until now to add this because this should only happen in multiplayer, and shouldn't happen in the demo.




Another quality of life addition is some world creation protection. Previously if you had a world called "My Cool World" and you went to create a new world also called "My Cool World" the game world happily just go right ahead and erase all your progress without warning. Now if you try to name a world the same as an existing world, you won't be able to, and the game will explain that the world already exists. Same thing goes for invalid characters and file names.




The server browser will now only show servers running on the exact same version as you. This is to prevent potential crashes stemming from incompatible versions in multiplayer.
