Yes I can imagine it is pretty frustrating waiting for new content - especially since it's been announced.
With experience in writing Java code myself and with (limited) experience with OpenGL I can only imagine the uphill struggle to write all this code is with a small team. Makes my simple graphical programs look like childs play.
The update should probably not have been announced until it was ready. But then again this is the world of indy developers without the crux of shareholders and boards who have no concept of the actual work itself. Which itself is quite refreshing.

As a total newcomer to this game - start of this weekend - I have to say I'm pretty stoked to hear that there's an update planned soon! I can see some have been waiting eagerly for a while for this.
What would be great is if the water system is improved. I'm having real problems trying to make a castle moat. The water ends up in big blocks and completely uneven (I've resorted to removing it for now). Seems fine for making small ponds, but if you want anything bigger it just seems too problematic.

it's impossible but u can use plnks&beams
Ah though as much - my first castle I used beams to make the arrow slits smaller. Just hoped there was a way to do this with bricks and not wood.Display MoreYou can use real bones for making skeletons.
open the console windows and type
> item bone 1
> item skull 1
> item chest 1
> item pelvis 1
CHEERS!!!

Does anyone know if it is possible to rotate half blocks? I found this thread from January (https://steamcommunity.com/app…ons/0/142261352642713408/) and the developer Red51 said this would be possible soon, as this posts from January, I'm hoping it's a now a feature? I want to make arrow slits but full block sized ones just look a little too big.

Thanks Moonwillow!
No way about rats! I ended up using a poster and a PNG graphic of one. I've been using this spawn commands list some-commands-to-spawn-objects and I did I Ctrl+F but couldn't find any rats. Guessing that list is a little outdated. . .
I've actually found a map using the seed "Australia" - it's got a real potential. Beautiful harbour location, flat lands but a little hilly, nice forest too. I'm going to take my first build as a learning curve and this second one is going to be the "serious" one.
This game is awesome

OK so this is my first ever go at anything like this, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it.
Alas though I'm going to have to retire this project and move onto a new one as I want to make it even more realistic and that just isn't possible with my first builds location (I've just read up about map seeds - how very cool!).
The current location up on a mountain just doesn't allow me to make certain things; a moat - which every good castle needs, farming land, a nearby forest for wood, exterior curtain wall, etc.
Things that I would love to see this game have are; NPCs, more animals (like rats for my dungeon - please please please), sound effect objects (like sticking a special block somewhere and if you are near it you can hear certain audio effects like dripping water, creaking), mountable weapons (thinking armoury room), a well for water, oh the list goes on!
Anyways, here's what I've knocked up! Comments (incl. criticisms are welcome).

Just want to say keep up the good work to the devs! This game is brilliant!
The building is so easy to use and feels really intuitive.
And the ability to mine and manipulate the ground is fantastic!
I've spent all weekend building a castle - much to the missus' approval (I'm surprised to say) and it's by no means finished - such plans!
One thing I would love to see in this game is some NPC characters I could spawn.
My castle is looking fantastic - just feels a little empty without any souls moving around it.
