You know what’s sneaky? They added the mason in the tree, but they didn’t give us a way to upgrade a worker to one.

Thankfully this doesn’t require as much work as deciphering blurred text on a whiteboard.

There is also a nice surprise in the monsters file but I don’t want to spoil too much for people so they can look themselves if they want.

In entities > monsters > forest there are “ents” and “ent-minions”, and they look amazing!

I love how they keep the cute style of the game while still looking scary and threatening.

Nice.
I hope some chopped woodblocks will turn randomly in an evil ent-minion. That would be hilarious.

The picture in my head of villagers scattering in all directions flailing their arms about is wonderful.

Great update!

Loving the new measurement tools and the cleaned up building UI.

Ran into a strange bug, wondering if anyone else has encountered this. When building, my citizens will get about 2/3 of the way through a house and then just stop building it, go idle and that is that, no way to get them back building it.

Started fresh with new world and got the same issue. Anyone else dealing with this one?

Cheers,

yes, I found a way to get them going again but it had the opposite effect. I added on some stuff and they started deconstructing the house to the ground and the game crashed. I took that as a good joke that they were telling me they will work when they are dam good and ready. To be honest though how cool would it be to add into the code a way that when your workers get pissed enough they start doing bad things like removing things HAHAH that would be awesome. Then they would have to introduce a Judge and Police Worker. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I’ve just seen the notification of yesterday’s livestream. =(
I always miss these things…

Wait what? I still don’t see it… there was a livestream?!

You can still catch it here for now:
