Lots of zombie clipping problems. They will try to attack you through walls.
The game is really shaping up. Having the zombies spawn makes a big difference to the feel of the game. They can really pile up now. It adds an element of danger to the game that wasn’t there before.
Look at the Zombies spawning now.
The music and sounds are quite nice. You can hear things like the changes between night and day or the swinging of your tool. It is starting to get immersive.
The game now has the ability to chop down trees, which looks weird at first. Each part of the trees turns into a mineral shape and the tree gets smaller until you chop it all the way down.
The new visual for the moon is quite stunning.
I love looking at the beautiful new moon added this patch.
Sinking in the water seems strange after walking on it for so long, but the fluid mechanics look nice so far.
I don't know how it happened, but when I got into my castle there was water in it high enough to sink in.
Torches, which have been added, are way more useful than firepots. They have a white light that is really bright. It needs some fire on it though.
The brand new torches look nice and are very handy for digging tunnels.
After the last few patches, I did not expect to see this much done for Lords of Uberdark Alpha 37. I am impressed with what Aaron and his team have gotten done. I can’t wait to see what else they do with this game in the future. Also Aaron put up sketches of goblins to look over check them out at his kickstarter.
Here you can see the new wall spikes.
