Did a lot of recfactoring in the back to enable the addition of the landscape module in the future. There was also a crucial bug in the game, that was brought to my attention by "notaplayer", "BaliStar" and "Rafi". Than you all very much for that, it should now be fixed.

Version 1.08.02 is out now: Bug fixes: The developer extras were enabled by default, which was not intended. Thank you @DesertSage for bringing this issue to my attention. I also added a more visual indicator that certain StyleSets are still WIP.

Spring Cleaning

All Panel, Attachment and Part categories were reworked to be more uniform from pack to pack. Every category should now also have a corresponding Icon. Next up there was a visual indicator added, so you can see where the max build size is. A special shoutout to the people behind La Mora, for letting me know about this issue. Two very often requested features were also favorites for the parts and halfwalls for the sci fi styleset. Both of these features are now also in this release.

New Addon: POLYGON - Nature

Fitting to this updates theme, I added the POLYGON - Nature addon

New Landscape: Island

Bug fixes

Alot of stuff was refactored behind the scenes, which should remove some of the stray errors that poped up with seamingly no particular reason.

Lookout: Landscapes Module

After all this time, I finally did get around to start working on the landscape module for MOENTO. It will not be in any of the near updates but you can be confident that work is beeing done behind the scenes. [previewyoutube=O4p_pRApiCA;full][/previewyoutube]

Hey Everyone! I'm happy to announche the Early Access launch of MOENTO for April 23 2021. [previewyoutube=2mi9GxR3lmw;full][/previewyoutube]

Why Early Access?

The main focus of this toolkit is to help developers create maps faster, but also to create a better connection through active community participation. The toolkit consists of several modules. The first module is the structure editor, which is very useful in its own right, but I wouldn't consider the toolkit finished without the other planned modules. I also want to listen to the active community about what modules and stylesets should be added before it goes out of Early Access. The modules are explained in the section: "How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?"

How long will MOENTO be in Early Access?

Early Access will end at the latest after the release of the parent game. Depending on the interest in this tool, the focus may shift so that it is released earlier.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

Currently there is only support for a few StyleSets, during the early access I would like to listen to the community witch StyleSets are most wantet so I can add those. There are also plans for a Landscape and Environment editor. Environments will allow you to place structures and a ton of decorative parts on top of your Landscapes. This allows you to create villages, outposts, islands, cities, dungons or whatever your heart desires.

What will the state of the Early Access version be on April 23?

MOENTO consists as stated above out of 3 main modules, the Stuctures, Landscapes and Environments. The version on April 23 will include the first of these modules; Structures.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

This toolkit is planned in its base to be free even after the end of Early Access. Paid content could be added that can be purchased additionally, such as an AI generator for buildings.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

Please join me in developing this toolkit. MOENTO has an active Discord where you can come and chat, suggest new features and get live updates what I'm working on.
