Dev Thread + Builds

[paulbbg]

So if you haven't read the other thread, you should probably do so first as its related and important http://steamcommunity.com/app/227720/discussions/0/604941528491274865/

Now lets do this, any posts that aren't related to development builds here will be deleted.

UTO15.exe has very basic logins and self island generation/building, should be up.

Well this does explain quite a lot.

Whatever, I've been here for bloody ages, I'm not giving up on you, the both of you at that.


Just give me a game to play!


I get kind of fishy when I'm downloading a .exe file. What should I be doing exactly?

[faecalist]

Chrome is blocking the exes as malicious for me :(

[paulbbg]

Ugh, no way to fix that other than zip it.

[paulbbg]

Okay, UTO20.exe has REALLY basic server map loading, so someone else can load your map, and play on your island. Now I just need to get objects and vegetation etc sending then we basically have a way people can visit islands and leave ♥♥♥♥ there and other people will discover it, even playing single player.

How about creating a beta branch on Steam and posting builds there so people don't need to check Dropbox for new updates?

[paulbbg]

Nah, its going to be a pain in my ass. This is quick because every time I build it goes straight there.

[Ocktavius]

I'll be following this everyday =p. Enjoying the journey so far, keep up the good work paul.

Also, I had the same problem as you faecalist, I just download them directly into my dropbox folder, that works for me.

Doesn't Chrome have restore functionality, so you can restore and keep the file anyway? ;)

[Vince]

Kind of confused about what I just did.

[paulbbg]

Okays, UTO24.exe now has random loading, which is basically how its going to work in-game, sail > random island > sail > random island. Need to get the items loading and the vegetation and sand and it should be ready to move on from.

Donation page anywhere?

[paulbbg]

Probably easiest way is my paypal at [e-mail] but I don't really feel good taking money right now, id rather sort the whole sales and stuff out if and when this becomes less of a ♥♥♥♥ situation.

[paulbbg]

Also, UTO26.exe is up, middle mouse button will place objects, left and right to delete, sand and vegetation should be saving correctly now. So that basically rounds out the map loading and the basics of random generation, when I get up ill be back on gameplay stuff though I would like to try and load one of those mini maps into the full scale so we can all run around on our own designed levels, win.

I also just added in description strings for every class of item, so what I'm thinking of doing is allowing you to write messages etc and leave them around the levels, also in message in a bottles, maybe in-grave your favorite spear, or write something next to a dead friend, it might be an interesting way to fill the world out and make it feel alive without having to go overboard on the online stuff.
