## Dev Notes

v0.10 – Building foundations, a new creature, climbing, walkie talkies and more!
Posted on 1 December, 2014 by Anna

Hey Everyone,

This latest update introduces auto foundations to some building types (log cabin, platform, gazebo) giving players ability to choose how high buildings are placed, and having them auto conform to terrain with our new procedural foundation system. (future updates will include ability to manually place these foundations yourself)

Adding the ability to climb rope has opened up a lot of possibilities with caves – and as such we’ve blocked off some of the beach cave entrances, replacing them with holes in the ground with some old rope dangling in. Combined with our new experimental tree bridges and platforms, rope gives everyone a new way to traverse the world.

Multiplayer has seen a bunch of fixes and improvements, but most importantly voice chat! Press Q to bring up your walky talky and communicate with friends. (for those without microphones, we’ve fixed a bunch of issues with the ingame chat)

There’s also a bunch more stuff, new art, bug fixes, balance improvements, new animated plane passengers and more, all listed below

NOTE: Due to the changes to some of the systems, old save games won’t work with this patch – we’re hopeful that the new saving improvements we’ve made to the saving serializer (listed below) will alleviate this for future patches and make occurrences of updates breaking save games much rarer.

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub or send them in to support@endnightgame.com.
