Game Development: I'm on a boat, *and*...

Announcements of major changes to Salem.

Game Development: I'm on a boat, *and*...

Postby jorb » Tue Sep 25, 2012 12:46 am

... it's goin' fast *and*...!

Image

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

*) Swimming. Characters now swim when in deep water. Swimming reduces phlegm, and if you run out you'll be knocked out. Don't run out.
*) Boat. There is now a rowboat available with Seamanship. Build it. Repair it with coal (will be tar whenever we have that.) Holds 4 objects and 2 passengers.

The boats will behave graphically better if you update your clients.

Enjoy while we continue to slave away at other things. Loftar is working on multiple server support, and I'm implementing some new stuff.

Time to start learning how to kill beavers properly now :lol: , I cant wait to play with boats and see the rivers turn into the highways they were intended to be - Lets see how long it takes before people realize it is a bad idea to build close to water. Who is going to keep count of all the swimming deaths? :twisted:
Do not argue with idiots, for they will pull you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Now I'm rooting for waterfalls.

Thanks for that! Now swimming must be considered very carefully.

I like the swimming animation, but he just pops up on top of the water and takes a nap when ko'd :( Very cool update though
