Server & Client Dev Blog #1
Thar She Blows!
Welcome to the first of many dev blogs for the server & client team up with Captain Rhubarb and 133spider! These dev blogs will keep you, the player, up to date with what’s coming up next for the many functional changes coming to AQWorlds! We are aware of the overwhelming suggestions being provided to us from the hardcore and loving fans, but in order to fufill those wishes, we must take it on with one big update at a time! Sit back, relax, and HEAVE-HO!
To address the overwhelming requests for the following features:
- Outfit Sets
- Cosmetic Slots
- Multi-buy, sell, turn-in, merge, enhance, etc.
- ...and many more!
We will at the very least let you know that we plan to implement ALL of these features in “update batches” called the Inventory Rework Update! The update is currently still in the brainstorming phase.
Once more, please be aware that we must focus on one big update at a time to ensure the quality of the update.
House Updates on the Horizon!
A few weeks back, we showcased the potential to own more than one house item! Last week, we sneaked in an early release at a new house feature where players were able to equip different houses without resetting any of the house items! There was also a small increase to the amount of house items players were able to place down.
In the upcoming house update, we will release the following:
- MASSIVELY large boost to house item placement space!
- More house inventory slots
- More buyable house item slots
- Stackable house items (Own more than one house item!)
- Option to horizontally flip a house item
- Better UI
