Update 32 - Bows, hunting, and potentially murder

Greetings,

Welcome to another update.

New Bits
  • Bows are now usable.
  • Hunting. Deer and boars can now be hunted and then harvested. Just grab yourself a bow and away you go. As your ranged skill gets better you will have a better chance at hitting your target.
  • Bows can be used to attack people. Your ranged skill dictates your hit chance. This also means you can shoot people hauling carts and then rob their cart as they lay on the ground dying :)
  • You can now pay 1000s silver to import workers from outside of the map as long as the map population is below the cap.
  • You can now build campfires in the wilderness to keep you warm on your hunts.
  • Find dead trees around the map to scavenge for firewood.
  • Ivy growth on buildings.
  • New training dummies on every map so you can train both your ranged and melee combat skills.


Other Bits
  • Fixed a bug that would cause the player to get kicked into the Bunkhouse.
  • Tweaks to the tutorial.
  • Fixed a bug where if your player died, in some cases the heir would not inherent the money.
  • Detail tweaks.
  • When people move out of your rentals they should now take their stuff with them.
  • Meat Pies will now adjust their prices correctly.
  • New plants and grass have been used to create lusher forests.
  • New terrain textures should add a bit more depth and colour to some parts of the game.


Hope you enjoy! I'm glad to finally have bows added.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Send me an electronic message at [email protected] if you have any trouble with your saved games.

Update 30.3 - You have nice legs

Hello,

It is me again. I did some things.

  • Changed some more instances of 'gold' to 'silver'.
  • Removed the binding for the H key that would disable the UI.
  • Added a cool-down to 'Dance & Drink'.
  • Corrected some bad maths.
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent some saved games from loading.


Still working hard as always, I have some good stuff coming soon.

Pew pew,
Atorcoppe.

Update 30.2 - 01110011 01100001 01110101 01110011 01100001 01100111 01100101

Hello,

Just a small patch here folks, but a couple items are highly requested, so yay.


Goodies
  • Fixed a bug where transferring items between inventories with lots of items in them could cause hangs and crashes.
  • Fixed some navigation issues.
  • When you exit from map mode the camera will now go back to its previous position if you didn't move it while in map mode.
  • When pressing escape the game will now remember your previous game speed and resume at that speed when you unpause the game.
  • Storm optimisations.
  • Fish can now be used as meat at the longhouse for a feast.
  • Some crashes have been smashed.
  • The currency used in the game is being renamed from gold to silver (let me know if you see gold still being used anywhere that should now be silver).
  • Fixed several bugs that could cause time to stop at midnight.



Things I'm Working On For Update 31
  • A range of travellers to bring more variety to the game. Including horse riders, royal visits, fyrds, and mysterious strangers.
  • A new caravan system.
  • Bows and hunting.



If you encounter any strange bugs that you think need to be fixed asap please send me an email at [email protected] with a copy of your save. The saves can be found under appdata/locallow/atorcoppe games/saelig on Windows. Unfortunately I'm not very professional and I cannot remember the location on Linux or Mac.

Additionally, for anyone who wants to - I'd like you to email me the one feature you'd like to see above anything else (excluding MP and Mods), and I'll try to start work on it asap.


I nearly ordered a 1300 year old Anglo-Saxon silver coin today from the UK. I ended up not doing so because I really don't need one. But scrolling through the coins gave me some good inspiration for Saelig, which is always a good thing.


That's pretty much everything I have for you right now. Thanks for playing, suggesting, and reporting.

Much love,
Atorcoppe.
