Pocket Townstone + Cardboard Box Technology

Meat


Raw meat can now be purchased & cooked to taste. Don't leave it on the oven too long or it'll get crispy!

Cardboard Box Technology!

Boxtech is officially out on Primary Server, with not one, but SIX box types to choose from! Containers have been one of the most popular suggestions over the past few years, so I'm very excited to finally have containers available.

  • Public Box - anyone can put items in or take items out
  • Owner Box - only you can put items in or take items out
  • Town Box - only town citizens can put items in or take items out (if not placed inside a town, will function as an owner box)

Each box type comes in a small and large size. Small can handle 500 objects, while large can handle 1,000 objects.

You can carry boxes with you in your inventory, or even put boxes inside other boxes (because physics :P). The box will only count as a single item towards your inventory or region limit.

While near a box, press E to use it. When done, simply press escape to clear all open windows from your screen.

Pocket Townstone (buy it with gold!)

One of the most popular requests ever has been to be able to build a town with gold instead of plat. This is now possible with the Pocket Townstone. It is a limited functionality townstone that can only be placed in your pocket universe. It will not immediately increase the size of your pocket universe like a full townstone does. However, it enables most townstone functionality such as the ability to let other players build in your pocket universe.Just like normal townstones, please note you CANNOT move or delete this item after it has been placed!

You can upgrade a pocket townstone to a regular townstone for 10p (/townupgrade). Doing so will cause your pocket universe to be expanded from 2x2 to 3x3.

Now with Achievements! Also: Mac & Linux builds.



I am excited to announce that you can now unlock achievements while you play the game. Check out the full list of achievements here.

ALL achievements can be earned by all players, although some can be a bit tricky ;)

Lots of new Household Goods items


I've just added a bunch of new household goods! Check them out in-game.
Also, I changed the way items are placed -- most items smaller than a half block will now attempt to horizontally & vertically center themselves within the tile. Also, when placing signs, they no longer snap away from you when you place them.

Mac & Linux Steam Builds

Steam users can now play the game on Mac & Linux!
