Posting this in Art since it is about getting some assets :-) Met a nice @NeonInsect fellow offering to contribute some soundtrack pieces to Destination Sol. He's also got a bunch of SFX he has made over time for different reasons and might be able to send some our way. I don't know exact...

The branch @Linus started near the very beginning has been tweaked from time to time and looks to be stable now! @SimonC4 did the latest pass and I've tested it too. The issue with pirate turrets falling over is gone and the first planet mercenary works again. It may be ready! This would be a...

http://destinationsol.org now works and is powered by a GitHub page hosted in https://github.com/DestinationSol/DestinationSol.github.io - I put it in a DestinationSol organization on GitHub as you can only have one big user/org page per account/org. Maybe eventually we'll also put modules there...

@Skaldarnar tweeted a discovery of a new LWJGL math lib called JOML. I thought I'd repeat it here in case of interest from anybody else. Maybe we can draw some inspiration for TeraMath or what not :-) And while mentioning some number fun might as well remind that LibGDX also has a math package...

Just noticed this on Steam. Looks like another one of the survival style sandboxes with nice building, mining, some extra crafting and ... what's this? Advanced health system for combat! Check out the tutorial video on the health bars, wounds, death, etc - third video as of when I write this...

I've gotten the Android facade working in a separate repo you can fetch from the main repo Terasology style via Gradle. I did the GWT (HTML) Facade as well but haven't tested it - it may have never been fully functional and stable. Details: https://github.com/MovingBlocks/DestinationSol/pull/25...

At work I came across a nice webinar on Saucelabs and their cloud-based automated browser (and mobile!) testing. Super easy execution of Selenium-based tests across a series of OS/browser combos. It integrates with Jenkins and they have a free option for open source, woot :-) Looks like...

I put together a nice sketch of our current server setup + ideas for improvements (in blue). Am really liking sketchboard.io, it lives on there (account needed - I can add yours to the team, let me know), and I exported a .png to TeraMisc for reference - really should start using that repo more...

I got an email notification about changes to pricing structures on Heroku: https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2015/5/7/new-dyno-types-public-beta I believe free accounts will transfer into a new free version that if I'm reading right will be unable to stay online 24/7 even if doing extremely...

Here's a proper site tool thread for this one. Previously we had just discussed it in PMs and in an internationalization post elsewhere. This thread is specifically for the tool, not so much coordination for actually translating stuff. I just finished updating the Weblate 2.1 droplet previously...

This is a more meaty release paired with a new major launcher release too. Game pre-alpha release v55 (changes in Jenkins; download from GitHub): Going to start referring to these as pre-alpha releases rather than stable builds. Eventually we'll be on alpha releases, then beta, and so on. This...

While Destination Sol has a nice community on Steam already, including forums, I wanted to make sure there was a location away from Steam as well for those who may prefer it that way. It will take a while to get started with serious contributions, but there are many good ways in which our...

So early this past weekend @PrivateAlpha came across an interesting post on Steam from a little arcadey space game called Destination Sol. He brought it to my attention and it stuck out from being written in Java on LibGDX, even working on Android. It is a cool little game you can play through...

We're officially on Java 8 in develop now, with the stable 53 just released being the final version of Terasology that'll work on Java 7. Main feature in this release is probably the auto-updating server list, woo :-) Full changes listed in Jenkins - as stable 51 actually broke due to a version...

This has been a topic on and off for some time. @author tags in Javadoc are not very useful, are often copy pasted and inaccurate, and really don't add anything Git history doesn't. With Java 8 javadoc generation gets more strict and @msteiger put a big PR up that fixes the errors. Part of the...

So as usual there are some interesting MMOs floating around in crowdfunding land these days. Crowfall has stuck out to me, especially with their Kickstarter update today. Their angle is temporary campaign worlds with full PVP, VoxelFarm integration with destructible environments, and permanent...

Official release number is 0.50.0, so that must totally mean we're half way to 1.0.0, right? 0.5.0 totally didn't count :) Get it from GitHub! This is a nice release. @Josharias Survival has become quite mature and deep, and there's a highlight video to go with this release. Check it out...

He's trying to bid on some auction but the seller will only ship to a U.K. address

I posted a small section on "Distros" over in my big module tracker thread, but didn't go into much detail and was still pretty raw on my ideas there. So in an attempt to narrow in on some more exact details here's a thread to just consider naming, content, and related. I went with Greek...

♫ ... What is love? @Gooey don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more ... ♫ Even our favorite Gelatinous Cube needs love on this day. Good news is even if alone he/she/it can just bud off a clone and tadaa, couple! For the occasion @Skaldarnar threw together a nice little Valentines module to...
