(We\u2019re not going to talk about the cover screenshot yet :3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New crew manager that will be added in the next release <3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019ll allow you to set your active landing crew and can pool a much larger selection of crew than before. These are still all \u201cminor crew\u201d aka sailors ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went through several options for the maximum crew, and, uh, settled on 46 (38 on ship, 8 on landing crew) because it was kinda the absolutely minimum skeleton crew for a same size sailing ship. Actual ship of The Unnamed\u2019s size would have had a full crew of 340 crew, but it kinda feels unrealistic, so we settled on 46 instead xD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a small gif showing it in action ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And a bit longer gif doing the same x)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a sample of \u201clore note\u201d type of item function. It has a fallback slides in case too much text was on screen, but normally it shouldn\u2019t show up unless using bigger fonts ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also shows some layouting options for text positioning ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Modding example of combining custom items together ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Modding .pail showing definition of item combination (sneaky on top) and custom dyes ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, not for next build, but scalers for spawners so we can start adding smaller and larger subspecies. Here\u2019s a Juin sized ful, just using ful as a test canine ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first small subspecies will be desert bunnies on Saardan when it\u2019s ready for deployment. Will get unique set of acts too ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the medium sized one, the current one. (She looks a bit smaller than player, but I think it\u2019s just the angle xD)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And the larger one! She is slightly smaller than Bosun, but same size as the lumbermill big kitty ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A short character loop preview with temp characters (short lizard and medium size heev) ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for progress on the next release; We\u2019re short some writing on Heev and world map needs some background audio, but besides that all the features and stuff are in ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re also looking for additional writers (of which I will post a separate post later on!) as it turns out having filling 3 islands with NPCs, with 4th looming already at decoration stage, requires quite A LOT OF WRITING xD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sorry it is taking so long for this build. We\u2019re definitely approaching the release of it, but it still takes a bit more. Please bear with us <3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With luv <3
