Driftmoon Alpha 2

16.11.2010 by Ville Mönkkönen

We want to thank all of our preorderers, and all those who have given us feedback - we value it greatly! I've just released the second version of our alpha build. Preorderers can access it on the secret download page. icon_smile This release is mostly fixes and small features. driftmoon_thief Changes in this version include the following (plus a few small things not mentioned here):

  • New mountain wall / water edge physics. This fixes the bug where the spiders might walk over the mountains.
  • Allow zooming in/out with the mouse wheel.
  • Fix crash that happened if you had killed the leader spider but not the other, then saved and loaded.
  • Followers will now follow in a formation.
  • Changed text rendering method to work on a wider variety of platforms. Thanks Luminon!
  • Tested to run on Linux through Wine. Thanks lindquist and unsfa!
  • Scroll bars can be adjusted even if the mouse gets out of the bar area.
  • Dialogue text is better lined on wide displays.
  • Autosave on entering a map, and every 10 minutes.
  • Quicksaving. F12 to save, F8 to load.
  • Dragging objects should be about as powerful as pushing them by walking.
  • Fixed skill saving, the Whirlwind skill was not saved. Thanks Iivo!
  • Quick keys for weapon skills: F1-F7
  • Combined quick slots with main inventory. Quickslot items in saved games will be moved (if you continue from a save made with the older version).
  • The inventory now has a separate tab for messages. It can be used for any items, but all books and letters go there by default.
  • Nicer looking tutorial markers and area border markers.
  • Changed ranged combat to fire automatically, allowing you to control the movement.
  • You can now kill any ants by precisely stepping on them. But why would anybody want to do that?
  • Enhanced the minimap code to run smoother.
  • People will not like when you steal their items. Some items will have marked owners, and they will watch out for thieves!
  • Fixed infinite XP bug with Professor Dore.
  • Fixed error log sending.
