Welcome back. This update implements a significant change in our mapping systems in terms of the size of our "tiles" along with other very large systematic additions and changes.

Change Log

  • Moved to new Character system:
    • Added Character select screen as part of login process.
    • All players can now have up to 3 characters instead of being locked to a single character for their Apple ID.
    • Players can now delete characters from the character select screen.
    • When logging in via auto session, the last character played will be selected and will log in automatically
  • Added Friend System:
    • You can access the new system via the Friends Button found at the top left of the Character Panel.
    • You can add friends by entering their username
    • Invites are sent and the other player is notified of the invitation to become friends.
    • Friends can see each other on the world map when both players are playing at the same time.
    • Privacy settings can be found in the friends menu. Turning off visibility means you can't see other friends on the map, and they can't see you.
  • Added Bronze Axe
    • Requires at least level 10 with the Carpenter to unlock (temporary system).
  • Added Willow Trees
    • Requires Bronze Axe
  • Significant changes have been made to the world map, including size, zoom and interactions:
    • Changed tile size to be significantly smaller than previously (4295 million tiles ⇒ 68.7 billion tiles).
    • Increased model size of various POIs, Hub, and Entities.
    • Changed interaction distances for various map objects:
      • Hub - down to 50m.
      • POIs - down to 25m.
      • Entities - down to 25m.
    • Increased number of tiles to load around the player. The minimum required to load is now 39 (up from 25).
    • Changed look of road to be less jagged and include a small outline around the road. We are still planning to (and have started) writing a complete overhaul of our road rendering technology however this is still many months from completion.
  • Fixed further timezone issues with crafting items.
  • Fixed missing Town Stone in Town Hub scene.
