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.

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.

Hello friends,

Just a couple small fixes.

• "Continue on your path" now properly works when you ask for forgiveness at the church.
  
• Your spouse will no longer quit their job when they work for you.
  
• Some market tweaks.
  

That's all folks.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Well hello, fancy seeing you here.

I would like to introduce you to Update 30, it's quite neat and has some goodies to offer.

Goodies

• A new larger house called a Homestead. It has more beds than a standard house and has a garden upgrade. The garden upgrade allows you and your family to harvest small amounts of fruits, vegetables, and eggs throughout the year.
  
• Another new type of house called a Longhouse. It is primarily designed as something to sink money into as it's stupid expensive to build and upgrade. You can build walls around it, plant a garden (see above), and also raise some animals (like the garden upgrade but meat and wool).
  
• Owners of a Longhouse can host a feast which if done correctly will make you the most popular person in town.
  
• You can now train other people in skills that you are better than them at.
  
• You can now transfer workers more easily from other nearby businesses that you own.
  
• Sheds! You can now develop small and large plots into sheds to store all your goodies.
  
• Two new achievements.
  
• Corruption and criminal record now have a great influence on your life. However if you are generous enough with the church they can fix this for you.
  
• Major changes to how prices adjust. This should fix some strange prices that some people noticed.
  
• A new cart for the final level of cart upgrade. When you ride this one you sit up front, like a pro.
  

Less Good, Goodies

• A few UI changes to make certain things more obvious.
  
• Fixed the spelling issues.
  
• Fixed a bug where you would lose relationship with child workers when they grow up.
  
• Fixed broken controls after using first person as a lady with a dress (yes, this was an actual bug).
  
• Fixed a bug where you could not catch an outlaw if you were a watchman.
  
• Fixed a bug where crime reports at the end of the day could be incorrect.
  
• You can no longer offload random items into an empty plot.
  
• Some new notifications.
  
• You can now properly hire your family for free again.
  
• Wood cutters will now properly sell wood.
  
• Fixed some exploits.
  
• Fixed an issue where people would rent your houses then leave then rent your houses again.
  
• People will now eat more food from their own houses.
  
• Various other bug fixes.
  

I hope you all enjoy the new stuff. Sorry I'm really slow at development - life is crazy sometimes.


Cheers,
Atorcoppe.
