- Dev Log #5 - 25 July 2026
Hi everyone!It's been a month since the last update, so it's time to share something interesting. Right now I'm working on a big update that will add more variety to construction. The changes will include vertical construction, a new "node" construction grid, and possibly new stone buildings.Node construction gridThe game now features an additional node-based construction grid. You can place various decorative structures between cells: fences, posts, torches, walls.Some buildings add nodes of their own: posts for example. You can run a log between any two arbitrary nodes to build an arch, for instance.Posts and logs let you put together some very strange constructions. From here on it's all up to your imagination.You can also string ropes between nodes.Vertical constructionI had to rewrite a ton of code to add a vertical axis to construction.
