Version 1.5.1.1, a testing release, is now ready for download in the account manager. Should clear up most issues observed in 1.5.1. Next version will probably be a stable release \o/ Full game updates list Tweak: Added black bronze anvil Tweak: Added support for ambient occlusion for json models. This now produces smooth light attenuation on plaster blocks, but might cause other issues. Might need to specifically disable AO on some blocks. Tweak: Rock now requires mining tier 2 (copper) to break (there was no stone pick in the first place...) Tweak: Added some debug logging to track down a crash issue while crafting observed by @MarcAFK Fixed: Pumpkin Crop! Fixed: Crop never indicating when it is done growing. It now has a withered stage Fixed: Vines deleting themselves upon chunk reload Fixed: Vines not fully respecting the game calendar (fast forward to the future should make the crop instantly mature) Fixed: Added missing recipe for scythehead + stick = scythe Fixed: Chests no longer craftable Fixed: Chest in creative inventory facing the wrong direction, fixed stairs not in construction tab. Fixed: Black bronze axe not having extra attack damage Fixed: Prevent a crash during clay forming Fixed: Placing blocks not possible at all when standing above max world height Fixed: (Attempted fix) Issues with basalt forming underwater where it shouldn't Fixed: Planter eating cattail roots when right clicked Fixed: Many fixes related to the GUI Updates (incorrect overlapping of individualual elements, open/close behavior of the chat hud not properly working, some dialogs not properly focusing) Fixed: Flint ore block not dropping itself when surrounded by air Fixed: Many blocks (firepit, forge, ingot mold, etc.) not unregistering their game tick listeners, causing a long running server to slowly but eventually lag to death and possibly other odd behaviors. API Updates Tweak: Renamed several API methods to something more meaningful Tweak: The Ladder behavior can now also be applied to other blocks (I hope!) Tweak: Asset manager now logs the filepaths of external origins, if present Fixed: tree.MarkPathDirty() crashing the client if the path does not exist server side, but does exist client side. Now the client will delete the path instead. Fixed: clientworld.AllOnlinePlayers should now no longer contain unloaded players and have all the data for already online players Other Updates Reported Windows Defender Security detecting VintageStory.exe as Trojan as false positive >.> Add an exclusion if you have this issue: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028485/windows-10-add-an-exclusion-to-windows-defender-antivirus View full record

Oh, thanks for the feedback marc, that is quite humbling. I did not expect the poll to start out like that It's not even funding 10% of the development/running costs right now, but every purchase makes our lives a little easier and is funding our motivation centers to keep working on it harder :-)

I've been wanting to raise the price for almost half a year now but it's hard to say what the true value of a game is. So perhaps you can help me decide :-) Some of my arguments for raising the price Adjust USD price to the new EUR<=>USD exchange rate (where I live in need EUR). It's gone up 10-15% since the day I introduced the game Compared to the first purchasable version of the game there is now a fully playable survival mode that offers a decent amount of hours of interesting game play and a well working multiplayer mode (and tons of other new features) I'd like the price to also reflect that this is a high quality craft and not a cheap rip-off Please let me know what you think! Thank you!

hi @ACE, thanks for the feedback, I've just released 1.5.0.2 which should fix the mouse issues. The performance issues probably come from the retina display having a very high resolution. For this there is now also a Resolution slider in the graphics settings. If you put it at 50% your game should run better again.

Version 1.5.0.2, a stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. It is very refreshing to see the sudden, and seemingly continuous influx of new members in our community. Let me take this opportunity to welcome you here one more time, show my appreciation for your support and hope that you are having a good time with what we've created :-) Also thanks to everyone that reported bugs, suggested features or helped spread the word of Vintage Story, makes for a very positive community climate, I find I decided to push another bugfix release, so that we have at least one very stable version of the game. Then I can worry less on creating unstable testing releases ^_^ Game updates Feature: Player view bobbing can now be disabled in the graphics settings (for @Milo Christiansen) Feature: The mouse Y-Axis can now be inverted in the controls settings (for @Shaun Graham) API Feature: Moved player/creature rendering system to the game content mod, several tweaks to the shape rendering system. Mods can now attach their own rendering stuff to players (for @copygirl) Tweak: Wooden paths now have a move speed bonus of 12% Tweak: Replaced fast graphics mode with a resolution slider. This now lets you reduce only the resolution without the weird side effects of backface culling. A value like 50% is recommended for MacOS Users with very high screen resolutions (for @ACE) Fixed/Tweak: Stone paths only yielding a 8% move speed bonus instead of 15%. Increase move speed bonus now to 20%. Fixed: The mouse cursor issues on MacOS and Linux should be a thing of the past now \o/ Fixed: Some shader errors printed to console on macos (and probably affecting moon rendering) Fixed: Increased move speed from blocks not increasing walk animation speed Fixed: Leaving, then re-entering a chunk causing some blocks to not fully disappear upon breaking (i.e. metal layer on molds, sign texts on signs, etc.) Fixed: Help dialog can be interacted with while the create character dialog is opened. Fixed: Foliage in some areas very uniformly colored (i.e. very rainy jungle areas) Fixed: Dying with GUIs disabled prevents to from enable again. Upon death guis are shown now if they were hidden. Fixed: Dying then rage quitting and reloading the world caused the player to be alive again with 0 health. Fixed: When Show/hide chat mapped to a letter then that letter can no longer be typed in chat without hiding the chat too. Fixed: /announce command not printing the message Fixed: 2 layer or thicker charcoal pits only yielding charcoal for the first layer Fixed: Placing fire pits in creative mode only producing a client side firepit that doesn't work Fixed: Minor Moon rendering issues Fixed: Hitboxes not tightly fitting baskets and crucibles Specially for copygirl, I made it possible that Mods can do this now (this is not in the game, but a sample mod) - back packs View full record

Yes, granted, gladly! :-)

Lovely! One request, perhaps you can use non-blurry zoom on the animated gif on the right, i think that will look better in a pixelated style. Alternatively you can up the gui scale in game to get a bigger preview.

Ok, you should be able to edit pages now

Oh yes, gladly. I've now reconfigured the wiki that anyone can sign up but not immediately edit. Please sign up now and tell me your user name, then I'll grant you the editing rights. Looking forward to your contributions!

Oh wow okay, sorry about that. I'll add an configuration option to disable it for next version!

Version 1.5.0.1, a stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. As some of you may have experienced by now, ore blasting bombs are a very useful tool that enables you to quickly mine large deposits. They were however practically harmless to the player, which was not intentional. This update makes them literally deadly if you are too careless. Unlike in Minecraft however, an explosion will not hurt you if you take cover behind a blast resistant wall. So in case of ore blasting bombs either stand behind a 2 block thick rock wall, or a 1 block thick wall at a distance of 5 blocks and you should be save. Game updates Feature/Fixed: Explosions hardly hurting players. An ore blasting bomb explosion in the immediate vicinity (< 1.5 blocks) will now instantly kill the player. Explosion range and injury range are now separate. The ore blasting bomb now has an explosion range of 4 blocks and an injury range of 10 blocks. So from now on, when you go blast mining, you better take cover. Tweak: Some descriptive texts for the clothes Tweak: Game no longer crashes when the music and sound folders are deleted. Tweak: Hot metal in tool / ingot molds now cool down 3 times slower Tweak: Wolf pups no longer drop anything Tweak: Improved performance of large burning fires by disabling terrain collision tests for the fires smoke and spark particles Tweak: /we blu now places all blocks that are also in the creative inventory. /we blu all places all existing blocks. Tweak: Reduced surface copper and flint deposit occurrence by 25%. Reduced size of flint deposits by 25%. Fixed: Other player name tags not adjusting to their sitting/sneaking height Fixed: Distant players getting transparent and eventually fading out Fixed: Exception thrown by worldedit when using world edit tools right after world reload without changing any settings Fixed: Finally fixed the bug where the player wouldn't step on stairs Fixed: Animations broken on all baby animals Fixed: Clay forming and flint knapping textures slightly off again Fixed: The server default permissions did not allow players to build or use blocks Fixed: Player screen shaking when another player got hurt Since there's nothing new to show visually, here's 2 mildly interesting testing screenshots of a bombs ray cast and a large fire test O_O View full record
