Release Notes 0.2 (Miner Koala)

Main Feature

The cave system has been added, this will cause new holes to be generated on the entire surface with which you can interact to go down to the caves

Each hole you enter will take you up or down, the black holes take you down and the brown ones take you up.

Whenever you enter a hole, regardless of the direction, the inverse of that hole will be created in the same place, so that you can go back, that means that if you go down, you can go back and if you go up you can go down again, establishing an interconnection between floors

Many of the minerals that were on the surface were moved to the caves, crystals no longer generate on the surface.

The deeper you go, the new biomes and resources you will find, be careful not to get lost

There are also new biomes in the caves, and mini biomes that function as mineral patches

Likewise, you can set your respawn points inside the caves if you want to create your base underground, when you save a game it is also saved in your current position (As always) only now it also includes the caves

Underground Biomes

• Crystal Formation
• Coal Formation
• Tiny Caves
• Cavities
• Simple Caves

New Features

Durability of Objects

A new durability system was added for objects that are of type, tools, weapons or armor, these have a bar that will indicate their durability, objects that run out of durability will be destroyed.

Items will have different amounts of durability depending on the material they are made from.

The durability of melee weapons will be spent as they hit the targets. By having the ability to hit several enemies at the same time, they have a slightly higher base durability. If it does 0 damage to the enemy, it will not damage the weapon.

Ranged weapons, such as bows and staffs, use up their durability for each projectile they fire.

Tools will also take damage when hitting a resource or enemy but do not have the durability boost of melee weapons.

Enemies in their Place

In the previous version enemies could appear anywhere, and in fact there was a bug where they could appear in water and get stuck there.

Now enemies can only appear in free blocks and in addition, they also appear in their respective biomes, so the creatures are now scattered throughout the world, explore it to find unique creatures, this function also applies to caves

Improvements focused on quality of life

Previously the game had mechanics that were unintuitive, making the gameplay clumsy and inconsistent, even frustrating by making everything work irregularly, in version 0.1 some of those problems were fixed at the last moment, such as the fact that the tools could hit enemies and axes could cut flowers, this time the systems have been revised so that they work as expected they would

• Now you can use the interaction button to collect flowers, berries
• You can also grab any object on the ground, such as stones, logs or sticks.
• The tools will continue to break the plants
• Stone Ovens can now also cook food, but have a significant chance of burning it (Campfires are unchanged)
• Drops can now be grabbed in the first 0.3 seconds of being created (Up from 2) and drops you drop from your inventory take 5 seconds (up from 2) to grab again

Inventory Adjustments

Previously, the objects that were equipped could be placed anywhere, although internally the code prevented statistics from accumulating in positions that were not appropriate, now it is directly impossible to place objects that are not compatible in the luggage, thus preventing the equipment are used as additional inventory

Augmented Equipment

Furthermore, following the previous point, new items have also been added and theGloves, Rings, Necklaces and Bracelets, these were in the interface for a long time, but are now available offering additional statistics (The belts were not added because I forgot and was too lazy to add them at the last minute, but I will take advantage of that oversight to plan a new equipment system, which possibly during 0.3)

Revised Survival

Survival is something vital in the game, but it is quite complicated at the beginning since being aware of thirst and hunger at the same time makes you spend more time looking for food and resources before focusing on the rest, to solve and alleviate this curve. steep there are changes in terms of statistics

• By having hunger at 0 it no longer begins to take life from you over time until death, => it now places you in a state of high weakness, which removes all your total armor, you will not be able to run and your energy will be recharged with efficiency 20% of base regeneration (Having more than 85% of food full will begin to regenerate health)
• Thirst remains unchanged, if it drops to 0 it will begin to take life over time until you drink water again or die

Filters for Recipes

Now when you open the creations panel by hand, use a creations table, an anvil or any table that is used to make objects, there are filters at the top that will help you better locate the objects when creating something

New Music and Sound Effects

This is in an experimental phase, at least for the music part since I try to set the world a little more while you play, on the other hand I have added a lot of new sound effects for the world, so that everything that do have a sound reaction, or at least the vast majority of those things, making everything feel much better

I've also added some additional options when configuring game audio

Keyboard Settings

Now you can configure the set of keys so that you can put them however you like.

Changes

Resistance calculation settings

Because in this version new armor was added, to avoid increasing the damage of enemies too much so that they are not abusive when not wearing armor, now the amount of damage mitigation when having armor is less, it will be noticeable considerably with initial armor

Minimal Interface Rework

Fixed the game interface a bit so that it looks much better and is more accurate when displaying information, hunger and thirst is divided into 4 quadrants that indicate 25% each line, and life, mana and energy in 10 quadrants that indicate 10% each.

Adjustments to Elemental Powers

These are some improvements that I have made so that using elemental powers has a little more prominence, but this will only be a temporary improvement, since the next version, 0.3, will have its main theme in combat, so you can expect improvements in The entire combat system, armor, equippable items and more, this version gives way to those future improvements.
