A whole bunch of new household goods!

householdGoods

I’ve just added a bunch of new household goods — almost everything we made in the art livestream a couple days ago.  The stove pictured above is NOT yet publicly available, as I have some special plans for that 😉

I changed the way items are placed too — most items smaller than a half block will now attempt to horizontally & vertically center themselves within the tile.  Also, when placing signs, they no longer snap away from you when you place them.

Build 1022

  • Full size sand & snow blocks now in shop (thanks to Grim)
  • Easter Egg Hunt is now closed — egg spawners removed  (but existing eggs have been left as-is).
  • Web/Kongregate users should now have an option for Java to remember permission to run the applet on the Java security dialog window popup.  Special thanks to Joe from Aberoth for this protip 🙂
  • Better registration page for Web & Kongregate editions — including e-mail warning if no email is provided

Hammer

The new Hammer weapon is now playable on Potato (and soon Primary if Potato remains stable during testing).

The Hammer is a strong weapon — it causes 10 damage in an area of effect around you.  However, you have to stand still for 3/4ths of a second before the weapon causes damage — just enough time to escape if your opponent is quick.

Other changes currently being tested on Potato:

  • If you trade your homestone to another player, you can buy a new one
  • Dialogue window properly uses the keybinding setting instead of always using ‘E’
  • Client/server time synchronization system (current being used in the Hammer)

Buy-Ammo System

A popular request has been ammo purchasable separately from weapons.  I am now testing this change on Potato, and if it’s stable, expect to see it on Primary tomorrow.

  • Ammo can be bought separately
  • Weapons no longer self-delete on reaching zero ammo
  • Prevent purchasing another weapon when that weapon already exists in the inventory (this simplifies weapon management, since each weapon item can have its own unique ammo count, and it’d be easy to get mixed up)
  • Weapon’s ammo level now properly saves/loads
  • x10 buttons removed for weapon folder
  • Pixel Pistol now does 3 damage – combined with low ammo cost, hopefully this makes it more appealing for use
