Looty Vintarians

Version 1.5.3, a testing release, is now ready for download in the account manager.



Ugh, 2 months since the last major update. In April the gardening season started and the sunny weather compelled me to spend most of my time outside and taking a break from programming in general. I've been programming almost non-stop over the winter and so I suppose this break was my compensation for that

I might make a post on our garden and gardening methods in offtopic somewhen. Either way, it's gotten rainy again and most of the empty garden space now has something growing in it, so back to being somewhat more programmy!



I'm happy to report that we finally got something story-like in the game. And a few more fun features to encourage exploration. The changes list has become quite huge again. Check it out!

Pretty Pictures

More and more random loot in underground ruins



New and updated ruins



Story elements found in underground ruins can now be added to an ingame journal and looked up at



Greatly increased outfit variety





There is now an 'Open To Lan' option when starting a singleplayer world, which allows other players to join you in your local network (or internet if port forwarding is set up)





New blocks: Torch holders, jonas gears and wood typed fences and fence gates





Teleporters! A creative mode only block. Helpful for server owners to connect cities.



Microblock chiseling! The chisel tool is currently also a creative mode only tool
