I had intended to release a hotfix of sorts yesterday, but I couldn't figure out the problem in question. It's a bug that causes the game to crash on load whenever one of the random merchants spawn outside of the world bounds. It doesn't seem to happen on all computers, since the other computer we have doesn't experience it at all, but about half of the time the game crashes on startup here.
I may just disable random merchants for the time being and release the fix next week if I cannot figure it out.
Other than that, though, we've got quite a few other fixes along with some reworks below for this week.
And we also added a new team member earlier this week. A lot of the fixes can be attributed to him finding them.
Oh, and I finally *actually* fixed the collision. Like, I am 100% certain that it works this time. >.>
Anywho, changelog.

Bug Fixes:

Coming Up:
I have an odd feeling. This is the first time in a loooong time where I actually got everything done that I said I would get done. :o
But, for next week, I've a few new buildings planned for creation and implementation along with a simple produce resource node.
I will also be working on getting the aforementioned bug fixed and if I cannot fix it before next Friday, I will simply disable the spawn of random merchants and send out a new build like that.
Ranged combat is still in my sights, but I am unsure as to whether or not it will be next week or further out. On that note, I have noticed that the PC follower AI is a bit wonky, and as such that is is also something that I have taken note of that needs to be updated.
And all I have is just a random shot with the vanity camera. :p
That's all I have for this week.
Until next time

Project Director
