If you are one of the "old school" Mythruna players from 10 years ago, what was one of the "Mythruna wouldn't be the same without X" style features?
Partially I think it would be fun to walk down memory lane and partially I'm trying to prioritize old features in with new ones.

I'm thinking about this a lot as I get closer to a public release and will undoubtedly have to put some stuff off to the next releases.

I don't know if anyone is still reading these regularly enough to matter... but it seems wrong not to post here after all these years.

The current plan is to put out another public release at the end of June, 2022. (3 months from now) 

That will be the 10 year anniversary of the last public release and it seems only appropriate to do something special.  And what could be more special than to put out a public pre-alpha release?!?

Beyond that, I'm trying to get an alpha out by the end of 2022... keeping my fingers crossed that publicly stated plans have not just turned life against me again.

In preparation for all of this, there will be some test engine builds released to backers.  (Where backers are both original Mythruna donors and current Patreon supporters.)  The first minimal test engine build will be by the end of this month (March, 2022... so like, in the next week and a half or so.)

Here is the state of that test engine build with me rambling on about the current status and the future for 25 minutes as I explore a random world:

Following @Simsilica on Twitter is still the best way to get up-to-the-minute updates on progress.  It's also a great time to ask for a Discord invite, especially for original donors because there is a private channel for backers... and that's probably where I will post test build download links first.

To anyone reading this, thanks for paying attention for so long.  I'm truly sorry it has taken so long to see tangible progress... not the least of which because of the reasons that progress was delayed.

Yup been following the Twitter for awhile now, it's what pulled me back

Hey everyone! long time no see. Thought I would stop by and say hi

Hello everyone,
Wanted to stop in and say hi.
I have been really enjoying the drawing prompts and seeing the new engine video today.
I have a almost 5 year old now that is getting into minecraft. I wish he could have mythruna instead. I cant wait to test out the new build when it is ready.

I am very down with using discord over ye old blog.

Take it easy.

Link sent as a PM.

I'm trying to do a lot more development these days and have a really aggressive short term road map.

When I started Mythruna, I really wanted to have my kids help me develop the game but unfortunately they have grown up in the mean time.  Enjoy those young years, they go by so fast.

I've setup a Simsilica Discord server.  I'm still kind of new to this but we'll see how it goes.

Primarily this was a way to offer my Patreon supporters a patron-only channel but it also has a public general channel for anyone that I invite.  If there is interest then I may also create a channel for Mythruna donators.

If you are interesting in joining the Simsilica Discord then send me a PM here and I will send you an invite link.

If you had no idea that I had a Patreon page and are curious, here is the link: https://www.patreon.com/pspeed42
I primarily set that up for folks who wanted to support my open source library developer, of which there are many.  But the past few years have seen a lot of progress on the MOSS libraries which are the core of the new Mythruna engine so it is related.  I'm trying to make a big push this year and only have some small things to wrap up before I can start knocking down the to-do list in earnest.  More on that later... or follow the progress on Twitter.

Is it just me or did the 'new posts' icon change in the main forum page? It used to be the Mythruna bubbles right?

For some reason I did not get an e-mail about this.

Somehow SMF got its theme directories messed up... it's been fixed now.
