Welcome back to another devblog, there is a lot of exciting news this week
Logo
Following up on last week, a new logo is being created and is almost finished! The very talented artist has been working hard, and we are happy to be able to show you a sneak peek
We hope you like it and can't wait for it to be completed!
Clue scrolls
On the agenda this week was clue scrolls, making the maps render at a location was easy enough, as I've done previous work with maps. The colored and grayed maps just didn't look right, so after a decent amount of work and a few helpful tips online, managed to get a sketch outline of the surrounding terrain. We are very happy how it has turned out, let us know what you think!
Click to enlarge.
Pictures in order are: Original colors, Gray scale, Zoomed out sketch, Sketch making process, First attempt zoomed in sketch, Final clue scroll sketch
Other improvements this week include: more commands, placeholders for scoreboard, and improved entity pathing (still not 100% for smaller mobs), viaversion added so clients on 1.14 can join (we will not be upgrading to 1.14 due to performance issues)
Store
The store is now up with our newly created icons! Beta/Pre-release packages and more to be added soon! So go check it out!
