Update 02.011 – Animal AI (deer), New types of roof tops

Summary
The first animal AI has been added into the game and it is a deer! Please note that this is the first work-in-progress prototype which means that the deer’s animations and behavior are not complete - currently they can react when they are under threat. Players can enable them through the world options. The maximum number that can be added in one world is currently four (this will be increased in the future) and they can spawn only in places where there is a big forest.

Also, players are now able to use the manipulation tool when crouching and there are new types of roof tops available.

Lastly, we have improved the tools that can support simple modding and modding for simple compound blocks (one cube objects). We have also created an example mod that can help modders (mirror.keenswh.com/KEEN SWH Double Window - example mod.7z).

Can we please attach small projectiles to ropes? I can't fit large boulders on a scaled down trebuchet.

Oh deer, could this be the beginning of a food resource?

 

This game is going to be amazing! Can't wait! Thanks for the update.

Not had too much luck with the Textures when modding, tried using original content but couldn't get Textures to work on my block. Hopefully i will sort it, used TextureBuilder.
