Weekly progress #42

Hello, dear Greenfeet friends! May the grass be soft beneath your feet!

Progress of the Week

Another week, another update! I've spent most of my time working on the tutorial content. It's still not complete, but the finished parts are ready to be rolled out, so here they are! I hope they help you get started in the game.

I took a break on Wednesday to work on some graphical updates. The green plains now feel less empty, thanks to more terrain variation and shadows. You can find the full changelog below this post!

My plan for next week is to keep adding more tutorials where needed, but also to revisit the exploration system. I'm not happy with how the fog of war looks, and many of you have also told me the same. Additionally, I plan to add some cool new features in the next update, such as the ability to preview a region before exploring it, so you can decide which one to visit first.

Please check out the new update and let me know what you think! If you don't have access yet, consider joining my Discord and asking for a key.

That's a wrap for this week. Thank you for reading!
