#update #release
TL;DR: The main focus for the v0.1.0 release now is bug fixes, I'm planning to re-write most of the code for v0.2.0, which is when most of the "big" features that have been requested will be added.
Why, hello there! Can I interest you in a dinner at the Tabletop Club... restaurant(?) For our starter, we have the "convenience soup", with ingredients such as pre-made editor builds so you don't have to compile the engine to play from source, the first set of chat commands, and a new in-game log to show your import errors so you don't have to go looking for the log files! Our main course is a delicious mixture of new pre-bundled games, and for supper, we have a sugary new splash screen! All this, plus we have a new Spanish edition of the documentation! Does that sound tasty?
Food analogies aside (now I've made myself hungry, oops), I... may or may not have a request to ask of you all. This may very well be the last beta version of v0.1.0 before I start building release candidates! I'm pretty happy with where the game is at currently in terms of stability and features, so I'm waiting to add new "big" features until v0.2.0 to make sure the release of v0.1.0 is as smooth as possible. Plus, this also gives me the opportunity after the full release to re-write most of the code, which should achieve the following:
So given this may be the last beta, this is my request to you all: Break the game. Take it into your hands, and crush it into little pieces. Put it on the ground and smoosh it with your feet! Throw it against the wall! Hit it with a HAMMER! Cut it up with a chainsaw!! Blow it up with 1,000 tons of dynamite!!!
A-hem... may have gotten a bit carried away there. What I'm trying to say is, now is a really good time to try and break the game before the first full release! If you do end up finding any bugs or crashes, please do not hesitate to report them on GitHub if it hasn't been reported already, and I'll try my best to fix as many of them as possible. I will still accept feature requests as per usual, but chances are they'll be implemented from v0.2.0 onwards, unless they're either really small, or a helpful tweak to an already-existing feature.
With all of that said, enjoy the new beta! Please let me know what you think on itch.io, Mastodon, or on Twitter
