(Probable) New Shelf display system for v1.22 - items rotatable, stackable.

[Professor Dragon]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before on the forum . . . I've been a bit "AFK" since the Christmas period.

But . . . the YouTube channel for Vintage Story has this - stackable and rotable items on display shelves.
This has been something that I've dearly wanted for a long time. There are mods . . . but I like the vanilla experience a lot (except where I don't, looking at you HUD display and Light Level friends).

Anyway - check this out! ! ! 

(And VS staff . . . why isn't stuff like this posted in our "News" section or elsewhere on this forum? Or have I just missed it. I feel like this being the "official" forum should get the news first, but it seems to get left out.)

It is pretty odd that the official forums don't get these small updates and teasers. I only ever see them on the official YouTube, or Twitter accounts.
Like, they have shown off water wheels, fishing, new mechanical parts and features, tests for procedural dungeons, new decor system updates, the new shelf/storage system, huge updates to smithing, including quenching, tempering, and grinding, etc. So much crazy cool content that has yet to be shown off here on the forums. Its pretty wild.

I imagine they only want to post stuff on the forums that are confirmed to be coming next, or have proper details, but its still odd to post everywhere but here. I don't like using Twitter, but I peak my head in every now and again to see if VS has made any posts lol

Short videos like this are probably easier to post on social media like YouTube and Twitter, or post in the Discord. Likewise, stuff that gets posted in the Discord is very much work-in-progress and may see several alterations before it actually makes it to the game itself.

Typically when a new news thread gets posted, there is more information about a variety of things, and what you read about is pretty much what you can expect to see added to the game, with few changes. Essentially, news threads don't appear very often, but when they do appear they're generally more informative and concrete than what you'd see elsewhere.
