I only have one task remaining for the MS6 build, so I&#8217;ll be testing it a bit and will release the build tomorrow.  On the down-side, I&#8217;ve cut &#8220;teams&#8221; from this milestone &#8212; it just exploded into something bigger than I could fit;  even once teams were working properly, they just exposed too many flaws in other areas of the game, especially the current random distribution of monsters.  A single player is easily enough to defeat a monster right now (due to their better AI);  a full team will absolutely slaughter them.  Teams really want there to be clusters of monsters, or higher-level monsters, or boss monsters, and those just aren&#8217;t in the game yet.  So I&#8217;m putting off teams until the next milestone.<\/p>\n<p>The screenshot today is of debugging pathfinding around town entrances.  Towns now start out fully walled-off, and must have roads built to one of their walls in order to specify where the gates are.  The white lines show &#8216;obstructions&#8217; which PCs won&#8217;t cross while travelling.  (Note that they&#8217;re drawing somewhat below the terrain, so they don&#8217;t quite line up visually)<\/p>\n<p>Will chat with you all tomorrow, hopefully with a good MS6 build!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I tried really hard to finish up the MS6 build today, but it just didn&#8217;t quite make it.
