You probably noticed that I've been holding off on builds - that's because there was a possibility that we'd see a fix for the disappearing buildings bug in today's upload. Unfortunately that didn't end up happening, BUT there's a bunch of other stuff coming your way: [quote]
Things are going to go quiet for a few days while I attack this bug once and for all. I'm not going to answer emails or chats, I'm not going to answer my phone, I won't even answer the door. (Suck it, FedEx!) It's just me and the BBB, tête-à-tête, mano a código, and only one of us is getting out alive. Yes this sounds a little over-dramatic. But whatever, let's roll with it - throw on some epic battle music and let's all pray to Crom for the strength to conquer this motherfucker. Gar! I'll post another announcement once the beast is dead. Wish me luck... *(He may end up working on other AAD Productions jobs in the future. In the meantime feel free to continue blaming him for bugs, he won't mind.)

I'm sorry to announce that Dustin has left the team. It wasn't anything major, he just had time constraints put on him by prior commitments and he didn't want to hold up the flow. I've been there before so I can appreciate his quick decision. Best of luck Dustin, sorry to see you go so soon!*
This turn of events really sucks but it's not the first time the project has lost someone to prior commitments mere moments after they joined. Remember our first lead writer Adi having to bail before the Kickstarter? That was pretty rough too. Of course the silver lining was that it led to Ryan joining the team, and he's responsible for some of the best parts of the game, so you never know how these things will turn out.
Latest Build and the Big Bad Bug

I HAVE TO KILL THE BIG BAD BUG

FRONTIERS blends the feel of first-person RPG classics like Daggerfall with the relaxing tempo and simplicity of a point-and-click adventure. Discover ancient mysteries, live off the land and fight deadly creatures, all in a beautiful, massive open world.
I can still remember the first time I played Daggerfall. Yes, it was uglier than a monkey's armpit and controlled worse than a bumper car on a frozen lake. But it also created the feeling of a world that lived on even after I'd stopped playing, and that feeling still sticks with me all these years later. A world where you could spend hours searching every pixelated nook and cranny. A world of potential. A world of exploration...
...and then a Dragonling would chomp my face because I hadn't spent ten hours grinding in the easy regions. Arg! So frustrating!
Other games have touched on that elusive feeling, especially Elder Scrolls and early Fallout games, but as fun as they are and as much as I love hardcore RPG mechanics, I've always dreamt of a game that emphasized exploration above all else.
If you feel the same way then yes - FRONTIERS is for you!
NOTE: I recommend reading reviews & forum posts before purchasing, especially concerning Linux support.
