Alpha 0.4.10 released. Important features include parties (grouping), skeletons, and bug fixes!
This week mainly saw some large changes to the codebase to accommodate player formed parties, or groups. Players have a wide range of commands for managing parties, and communicating within the party. Players are unable to attack members of the same party, and may heal party members by feeding them (hover over player unit frame in party window while pressing the food item's action button hotkey). With this in mind, all food now has a use range of 5 tiles.
A new party frame UI window was added as well:
Skeletons were also added as NPCs:
There are a few known issues with this release:
- Occasionally when loading into the game or when entering or exiting an instance, the game will lock up. This can usually be fixed by simply logging in again.
- Movement with the keyboard is currently jerky and uneven.
- Movement with the keyboard can sometimes stick, making your character move in a direction even after you have released the key. This can be rectified by simply pressing and releasing the key that corresponds to the movement direction that your character is stuck in.
