This week, we see lots of design changes to many systems. We hear about how this what is going on with the crafting and loot systems, as well as planned improvements in the combat fields.

This week, we have some nice visuals to check out. We also see some updates to the minimap.

This week, we take a deep dive into the recent physics overhaul with @lboklin. We also see improvements in the moderations, translation, and skill systems.

This week, we see an amazing video of the new glider changes. Work is being done with audio, UX/UI, economics, maps, and lots more.

With my work on some basic physics and fluid interactions (buoyancy and aerodynamic drag), I've moved back to working on aerodynamic lift. The video shows the current state of gliders relying only on generating aerodynamic lift based on wing properties. (This also works for birds, but they can only glide, not generate lift by flapping.)

I haven't kept up with the weekly articles lately, so here they are:

We're holding a party to celebrate the release of pre-alpha version 0.9.

Since the game is continuously kept up to date with current master, the update itself won't bring anything new that isn't already available right now. However, lots of new features and fixes have been added since 0.8. Check out the weekly updates on the website for more info on what's been happening lately!
