Ha, yeah that is something I totally forgot to list! Haha, titans, dungeon like areas, especially the latter I would adore to death.
Ya know, I loved the new gleambow, both the hunts for mutated sacs and the augmented ones, it was a fun thing to do with the group and it got you something that you can actually use for new things for once, augments and the new foods!
It was way more fun than the previous gleambows where we raced each other for teeny tiny meteors.
If they can capture the same feeling but then for clearing out dungeons, that would be so fricking amazeballs!
Yeah group events are so awesome! Gleawbow was fun. Back in the day some made those amusement areas and puzzles. That was fun. Our community is very passionate and creative.
Wonderstruck? Or Turbulenz Limited? As far as I have been able to investigate, the game belongs to TURBULENZ LIMITED and WONDERSTRUCK is a fist party development team. Or something like that, I donāt know ā¦ Iām confused.
Turbulenz CEO or president or whatever is also James afaik
They made two cool BL esque browser games before BL. Both are pretty good and they should steal ideas from their own games!
I tried my hands at making a texture for the game, and it wasnāt working as intended because I donāt know, I guess I messed-up something. They use a different method than I do for making textures, so I was doing a lot of guess work.
I donāt have their NormalMap filter and I usually donāt even work with DDS files, so I was tinkering the colors myself to try to approach how theirs look. XD
My area of expertise is the 3D models, never was the textures, but in this game, I thought I could try something.
Didnāt even take a screenshot of the result because it wasnāt looking like I intended, the normal map of the original un-modded block (metamorphic brick) was still bleeding through. I donāt I was very far off, thoughā¦ If I had the right plugins/filters/tools the devs useā¦
I thought I remembered reading this too so I went to take a lookā¦
Didnāt find the answer (yet) but I did find the following interesting bits from last year:
So maybe the reason for lack of info, slower updates, and no news update about rental worlds is that
theyāre bundling everything into one major release complete with crafting changes? Of course confirmation would be lovely. Just wanted to share these interesting tidbits.
For one, thereās the quote referenced above from Sam
There was the early access debacle when the forums erupted due to a date change or two. Thereās also the fact that these threads are never responded to and have been happening for at least a year and a half.
Did they explicitly say they will never provide updates? No. With the above and since they tell us when itās ready for testing now, even though people have asked for well over a year, itās pretty clear to me what the answer is.
Maybe just playā¦Let them do what they want. Just play without the worry of updates and whoās doing what and when. Maybe just worry about what updates your doing to your own base or shop or build. No stress of your own expectations pushed on devs.
I know this isnāt what you wrote but the only way in my head I can interpret posts like these are by reading it asā¦
āMaybe just play. Let them do what they want and stop taking an active interesting in the development of something youāre so passionate about. Just play without thinking about your future in the game and when new releases are coming out and what types of resources they might require or introduce. Donāt worry about new features or about lending your voice to early discussions about said new features, just play with the same things youāve been playing with. The posts from even new players raising concern about the slow updates and lack of communication isnāt something to be concerned about, just trust the devs implicitly.ā
The argument of ādonāt worry about the future and just keep to yourselfā almost sounds like an argument against voting in a democratic election and itās something Iām fundamentally against. These forums were created to be a place for community and devs to meet and hold open discussions. If the devs no longer have interest in open discussion* then theyāre welcome to close these forums but so long as the forums remain open, people should be able to talk about nearly anything so long as it meets the forumās rules.
So you can make your argument that people should just play as theyāve been playing, thatās fine and encouraged. But Iām going to make my counter arguments and speak up about my concerns because that should also be fine and encouraged.
*Please note this is not me stating the devs have no interest in this. Nothing in my mind could be further from the truth. Seeing James, Leah, Luca, Sam, Ross, and Jess posting as regularly as they do is still a good deal better than gamers get from some companies and I love the effort this team puts into their game.

Also in regards to Samās post I think his reply is fair. But I also think in the like 6 different āroadmapā posts thereās already been some clarification that a true āX features come out on Y dateā roadmap isnāt necessarily what folks are asking for. Something like this or these would be more accurate at this point.
Edit: Also you might want to be more careful about using absolutes.
I agree with @Clexarews point about providing your voice if itās something your passionate about. The devās DO want to know what we think about their game.
But I might agree more with @superman101 in the fact that we need to trust the devs are working hard, and enjoy what they have given us so far. Im sure the devās find it bothersome to read another post about a mass craft all option, or needing hunting updates, or requesting ANY update the week after an update. At some point we are wasting their time by beating a dead horse.
I am still under the assumption the roadmap from ages ago is still current and there is no need to publish a new one. Thereās not much left on it but the wraith (hunter) and Titansā¦ And one of the devs promised āBig thingsā this yearā¦I am totally reading into that as meaning Titans before 2021. (if all goes well)
By NOT publishing a new roadmap they are implying they are steadfast on the original plan.
Youāre right and I apologize. I will say that my post was for once not about a desire for information and more about disliking arguments that seem to be for being silent and not caring about the future or about the state of things. If anything perhaps my melodrama reveals my passion?
In my mind itās fine for others to think that. If someone doesnāt want to be part of the conversation they donāt have to be. Itās as simple as not opening these posts and not replying.
I think we can both desire more information and transparency akin to what we had several years ago AND trust the devs are working hard and enjoy what they have given us so far
It was not my intent to say people shouldnāt be passionate or engage in what they want to see in game, whether a specific thing we know about is going a certain way, suggesting completely out there things, or anything like this. Rather that continuing to ask the devs for a roadmap or dates on things coming in game is not yielding a roadmap or dates. We keep seeing it pop up. I apologize for poorly communicating my message and encourage everyone to share suggestions and ideas because, as @Clexarews mentioned, the devs do look at it, even if thereās no comment, and have solicited suggestions from the community
