Putnam got me through setting up the Windows Subsystem for Linux and it's mostly playing nice with everything, so there's some hope that I'll just be able to compile from within MSVC itself to make the Linux builds. This week has been going well! The experimental SDL2 branch is stabilizing after a few patches, and this should pave the way for some speed increases as well as the Linux and Mac versions. Here's a two hour stream we did with Salford Sal, going on a tour of a twenty year fortress and generally talking about the game.And we've got additional tree and plant graphics coming down the line, as well as graphical improvements to engravings, bookshelves, and more. Between the adventure work I should have a chance to look at ammunition issues this month as well. Over in fortress mode, Putnam's almost ready with a menu to review old reports and announcements and is working on making filterable-sortable lists more consistent. This will be a long process, but it'll be fun to watch it come together, and we'll be able to update regularly on our progress there now that adventure work has finally begun. As with fortress mode, the game already exists, but now we need to work through the interface for every possible action and event, as well as creating the sound landscape with our new audio engineers. The update to SDL2 was the most important change for ports, so Linux and Mac versions are much closer now.Īdventure mode work is underway! I have an adventurer running around in the graphical play area. It's off by default until we get some more testing done on the experimental branch, but the speed gains are significant, so it will be available in the settings as well. The update of the engine from SDL to SDL2 is stable, and there will also be a multithreading option. We're going to start by getting the experimental branch moved over to the main line. Here's the June report and the Future of the Fortress reply.

Hopefully that'll be ready to go soon! Not much to add to the last log, everything moving forward a bit at a time. Now available at Steam and itch.io!
