Knapping, Spears, Creature Emotions States (v1.4.4)

Knapping Vintarians
Version 1.4.4 is ready for download in the account manager.

I really wanted version 1.4.4 to be the first story elements update but since we have the GameOn Festival coming up this weekend I decided to work towards a more complete stone age experience and better game stability. Also the story features are somewhat tricky to get right. Aw. Never enough time.

Game Updates

• Feature: Knapping
  • Same as clay forming but can only remove voxels. Uses flint as ingredient.
  • Removed grip recipes for stone tools, these now require the flint knapping mechanic. Some tools are no longer available in stone form at all.

  • New weapon that can be used as a thrown weapon or in hands 
  • Flint spears are crafted by knapping, metal spears through smithing
• Feature: Limited Attack ranges
  • Reduced default attack range of 4.5m down to 1.5 meters
  • Swords, Axes and Knifes and Spears increase this attack range again
