Tinkerlands: February devlog

[h3]Heya, Tinkerlanders![/h3]
We’re back with another devlog to keep you in the loop on everything we’ve been working on! This month, our focus has been on polishing, bug fixing, and adding some quality-of-life improvements. Let’s dive in and see what’s new!
[h2]A Handy New Tool[/h2]
Early Access will introduce a brand-new drill tool - a powerful combination of pickaxe and axe to make resource gathering faster and easier. Check it out in action!

[h2]Fishing That Feels Right[/h2]
It’s a small detail, but we value realism! The fishing line has been reworked to look more natural instead of, well… cardboard.

[h2]Improved Lighting System[/h2]
Caves just got a whole lot cozier! We're feeling like this improved lighting system is going to make underground exploration more immersive. Check out this before/after - what do you think?

[h2]No More Walking on Water[/h2]
We know it was weird that you could walk through the ocean like it was a puddle. Now, entities will go under water when moving through the ocean, adding a bit more realism!

[h2]Mechanisms for Risk-Takers[/h2]
Looking for a challenge and extra loot? We’ve expanded the cable system with timers and new enemy summoning statues, adding more depth to traps and puzzles.

[h2]Item Placement Updates (WIP)[/h2]
It’s still in early stages, but we’re making great progress on placing windows, items on tables, and decorations on walls. Here’s a sneak peek (excuse the placeholder sprites!)

[h2]Biome Beautification - Coraline Fields Rework[/h2]
Coraline Fields are shaping up beautifully! This specific area is home to floating jellyfish and other surprises - here’s a glimpse of its latest rework.

[h2]Class Progression Items[/h2]
We’ve added 20+ new items to enhance class builds! For example, here's a showcase of the new accesory that allows arrows to track enemies for precise shots. Check it out!

That’s all for now! We’re working hard to bring you the best version of Tinkerlands possible. Let us know your thoughts, and stay tuned for more updates! ✨
