You wake up along a strange beach greeted by the beauty and danger of the unknown world that sprawls out in front of you. A settlement is seen off in the distance surrounded by a forest of tall trees. You stagger, still dazed from your misfortune, toward the settlement where you meet a kind shop keeper. You hear a tale of danger and war which intrigues you.

Factions: Online is now out in extremely early access…
Spent the day today working on a little Graphical update (My PC sucks and doesn’t really support it but for those with better PCs it should look and run pretty nicely).
Also worked on writing a Server side Environment Manager which handles the Day/Night Cycle, Generating Weather, and other things.
I’m now going to be starting on a rough first version of a Mob Spawning Manager which will be connected to the Environment Manager so mobs can spawn only at specific times in the day or seasons or whatever.
If all goes well I’ll be uploading a new update to the live server tonight.
Factions: Online Dev. Log for: April 13th through the 19th
Week Goals:
Integrate PlayFab for Analytics and User accounts
Get the Environment Synced across the Network - Day/Night and Weather
Mob Spawning work
Status:
I was able to accomplish all the goals I set out to do this past week. I have a Server Side Environment Manager which handles the Day/Night Cycle and Generating weather and then syncs all the clients up so everyone is seeing the same environment.
I started work on a Spawning System which is integrated in with the Environment Manager so I’m able to have Mobs that spawn only at certain times, or on certain days of the week, or certain months, ect.
I also Integrated PlayFab so players create an actual account and I’m able to see different analytics data about the game in real time.
