Woot woot! Excellent update as usual. The game is looking really smooth through the blogs, I hope Alpha 4 is as stable as it appears. :smile:

My seven year old sister had the same reaction.

Dang you caught me :wink:

Iā€™m really surprised Tom didnā€™t talk about the new roof material addition. Iā€™m loving how this is shaping up, hopefully the bug fixes will make it run a little smoother on my pc.

Oh god me too. Now all I want is a massive mountain that I can build a twenty mile long ladder where villagers perish half way up.

Wait. What?

Stop looking at me.

Well, it was displayed a couple of times ā€¦ it just wasnā€™t directly ā€˜on displayā€™ :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: @sdee thereā€™s a good question in the comments:

Will we be able to build ladders on the side of buildings? Obviously with a roof that sticks out youā€™re not gonna go anywhere, but with a flat roof?

In theory yes, but I havenā€™t tested if it works right now. :slight_smile:

This update gives me so much hope, I canā€™t properly explain.

I have to leave you guys something to CSI over.

Thereā€™s another decently-significant cosmetic improvement that I didnā€™t mention, but you can see in the video if you look closely!

For whatever reason, this has been one of the most exciting updatesā€¦. So i can understand you guys and your dancing urges. I think itā€™s just great to see everything coming together.

I may be wildly wrong with this but I want to take a stab at it anyway, it is new hair/facial hair styles? The blond guy has some epic mutton chops that I donā€™t recognize. Sorry if this is way off because I donā€™t want to end up as a guessing game.
