Survival Island – Devblog 10

This devblog has not added too much, and i’m not sure if the next one will either. My girlfriend and i have just gotten a baby boy this week, so i’m kinda busy with that for the time being. But work will resume at some point. and i will probably get something added. Just dont expect anything huge. This devblog fixed some issues and added the ability to destroy placed objects. Hills have also began to appear on the map.

New item – Hammer

After testing the game myself for a little bit, i noticed that it was quite frustrating when i managed to place something at the wrong spot, or dug a hole at the wrong spot etc. So i added the hammer, the hammer is a tool used for destroying objects that you place wrong. It can only be used on building parts, and other things it makes sense the player can destroy. Some objects might also drop a refund when destroyed, this does not apply to all objects. Heres a list of what can currently be removed with the hammer: Floor, Walls, Doors, Fences, Fencegates, Farmland, Torches, Flowerpots, chests. More will be added.

Hills

Hills will randomly spawn on the map, currently there is only 1. But that will change once the map is bigger. The hills can spawn as normal, but i will add hills with caves, hills with treasure chests and more types. And the enviroment spawner will randomly place them on the map.

Treasure Chest

The treasure chest will contain some set items that the player can find in different places. There are also some treasure chests where the items are randomly selected from a list.

Item information

Now when hovering over a item in the hotbar, backpack or chests. A small panel of information will show up. This panel displays the name of the item, aswell as a description of the item. More information might be added to the information panel later.
