Devs had an article interview on their form of procedural generation:

Devs also have their own mod spotlight going on from the main site:

If you ever want to see what mods the devs think are good to use, that be the place.


Next content update (1.1) seems to be improving a few things:

Oh damn CF devs are considering making their own version of an Advance Wars game but online and on PC.

Advance Wars meets Fire Emblem? That can create a black hole that consumes the universe.

Dang Chazore, you covered some stuff I was considering posting myself. I heard about fish and other things being added, but I wasn't sure if people would be interested in hearing about it. So I'm glad you brought it up.

Also, I gave that article a read, and it was a good one. I liked hearing the ideas around the game, like NPCs getting an understanding of the space they love around and worlds feel like they've always existed. I've felt these in game when I started making a colony and the tenants would interact with each other. Later, I'd get quests revolving around them, such as becoming friends, getting new people to join the colony, bribery, and enforcing fear. I've had one ask me to threaten another NPC into becoming a sort of slave with a gun, and then wanted me to bribe guards for protection. I felt I learned this character I brought in was a real dark character. It was shocking to learn about these characters. They felt real and alive.

There's also bases of different races you meet, which is real nice, since it makes these worlds feel alive.

But yeah... good read, and I hope even more cooler features get added to the game to makes it even better.

The relations between the NPCss seem to be a lot like Animal Crossing.

Yeah, it really does look like that, haha.

Heya, sorry I haven't posted any new shots lately. Haven't played in a few days. I do come baring new posts though.

For starters, I found an Avian temple, two of them actually. I only took pics of one of them.  The birds there were very kind...

Also, did some of the new mechanic that was added to the game, fossil collecting! I got a couple of them, thanks to the master brush.

And after all that exploring and treasure hunting, I chilled out at the new saloon I set up

Thats a sacrificial altar down there. And is full of blood...

Yeah, I learned that when my glitch crew member said almost those exact words to me. I put that in a tenant's house I made too. D:

What's worse is that the tenant there gave me a quest to get another person to move in close by. He needs sacrifices for the alter!

I'm back to show more shots of my recent adventures, and I've found a few interesting things. I landed on an ice planet, but it was no normal one.

I found these apes scientist brothers working in a lab in the icy cold. I'm amazed they can even work in such a cold place.

Also this strange abandoned steampunky building, with gears and a giant clock.

The most interesting thing I found though was a new type of ore I've never seen before. It had like a rainbow color, and it was called a prism shard. Not sure what it was, but it was cool to find none the less.

That just about covers it this time.
