Here's just a quick note to let you all know what's being worked on and why next proper update is taking longer than the previous.

TOWNS! Here's what's cooking; the town generator is an entire different beast from the level generator currently in the game. The next update will let you test out different types of town, big and small, each with their own particularities (more on that when the update releases.) A lot of different things have to be in an almost-final state to release even the earliest version of procedural towns - and that takes time, as you can see.

These towns are a crucial part of the final vision for Troll Control will be home to many types of NPC - which they'll populate them in the update after that. But even if the NPC and Quest generators are not implemented in the upcoming update, the foundations for them have to be laid down as well.

Plenty of new graphical assets are being created for the new towns, that too is being a considerable workload on itself, but it also presents the chance to shift the look of the environments a little bit towards new directions:


An example of the buildings that you'll find in towns and the more stylized fantasy graphics for the game. It fits well within the setting and currently present graphics, but expect these to slowly shift towards this style too little by little.

Here's hoping you're excited to see what Troll Control has in store and thanks for sticking around!
