Working on the Blacksmith profession this week - characters with that job can now craft iron, silver, and gold ingots into the following tools: pickaxe, hammer, saw, chisel, cooking knife, and sword.

I'm setting up a wieldable-item slot on characters now - my goal for this week is to get characters using tools and have the tools affect the speed at which they do jobs. :D

The game is now available via Patreon!
Itch.io added Patreon integration, so now, with any level of Patreon donation you can get access to the game!

I'm doing weekly early-for-backers posts, polls about what features to add next, and over time will be adding more exclusive content to the Patreon as well, so check it out! :D

Thanks!



I did a #bestnine screenshots of Modlands in 2017 for the Twitter account. Looking forward to all the stuff that'll happen next year; I know it's going to be a huge year for Modlands, with the game going into First Access on itch.io, and broad expansions to the Twitch functionality, as well as other social media integrations with the game. And of course there will be a lot of seasonal content updates throughout the year, new technologies, etc.

Created an endless loop of conveyor feeding biocube into cloning tube, which makes a randomized human, which goes down the conveyor to the biocompressor and gets made into another biocube. :D

D:

I both love and am horrified by this. D:

[triplejump]

Yeah, once you get to the biotech level of technology, there will be all kinds of wacky stuff you can do. :D

This week I started doing my weekly devlog as a Youtube video - here it is!

I did a retrospective post on the first year of Modlands development here:

What a year it's been! 

[triplejump]

on today's stream we tested picking up / dropping, and eating items w/ Twitch chat commands! The chat went on a cannibal spree picking each other up and devouring each other! :D

Check out the Twitch clip (don't know if there's a way to make this preview correctly in the forum post):

On today's stream, we tested a lot of combat command stuff for the chat, and TNightster won the first Modlands Battle Royale!

Check out the win here: https://clips.twitch.tv/SourKnottySandpiperWTRuck

Making good progress on the Twitch UI:

This week's devlog is up! Lots of new stuff this week:

* Twitch colonists got tons of new commands: !get !drop !eat !throw, & !attack. We had a lot of fun testing these in the playtest streams!
* Mobs spawn at night in survival mode and fight the colonists! This is going to add a whole new dimension to survival mode, as I'll soon be adding turrets, traps, and equippable weapons for the colonists to defend themselves!
* Winter Holiday Update is in - you can now create Xmas Worlds from the front-end, with tons of snow and Santa Claus dispensing presents!

Check it all out in the video devlog:

Weekly Devlog #15 is up with a new video!

I've been polishing controls to be a bit more intuitive, and working on the first pass of an auto-camera director that will let people do always-on streams of their worlds. This coming week, I'll be adding more specific commands for the Twitch users, so they can do things like collaborative building and survival, without the streamer having to be present. I'm looking forward to setting up an always-on, 24/7 Modlands stream on twitch.tv/modlands!

This week in Modlands! Containers!!!

Subscribe to the Youtube channel and get all the great Modlands updates! :D

[triplejump]

Btw here are some nice gifs of this week's container UI and quality-of-life improvements to worldbuilding. 


Container UI


Hold LMB and move the cursor while carrying a stack of terrain or walls to "draw" in the world w/o extra clicks


Hold Quickgrab and move the cursor to pick up only objects or tiles of the same type - good for clearing up areas and gathering specific things!
