Greetings medievalists!
Sometimes you just need cosmetic features that don’t impact your game in any significant way but add a little bit of flavor. That’s where signs come in.
Signs are a part of the Misc category. They are wooden constructions that can be placed on the ground or attached to a wall. Upon their constructions, you’ll be able to change their shape, add a symbol to it and give it a color.
Also, you’ll be able to leave a message on them. Those messages will be shown when you select a sign or hover on it via mouse cursor.
From the development side, this helps us mark different parts. Also, it’s useful when it comes to leaving notes, when we need to test certain systems. You too can use them, to give us a note when reporting bugs.
This is already on the experimental branch if you want to test it. This also means that if everything goes well (as it is), you can expect official update very soon. It will contain everything from this and the previous two Medieval Monday Talks.
Also, a bonus: You are probably aware that we were on a vacation for almost a month. On our Discord server we have these challenges where we give them a theme and they present screenshots that fit that theme. Winner’s creation gets to be promoted on Going Medieval Twitter account, so that’s nice. However, during our absence we requested a bigger theme, something that will take weeks to complete. The theme was Medieval City and the winner would be featured in a YouTube video made by us that showcases the winning settlement in more details. This is the result:
You folks are constantly surprising us with your creations and you are the reason why working on Going Medieval is such a joy. Stay excellent and see ya next time with the official release of Update 5!
