ArkCo News - 5/30/14

Hey ArkCoNauts! Things are coming along well for Team Handyman, as we continue to make some big internal changes on the game. Now that we’ve beaten back the bug list and installed the framework allowing us to grant rewards, we move forward to our next big task: fixing the creature system. Plenty of issues with the system have been present but from here on out we need to make critters far easier to implement and make their behaviors easier to manage. It will make Jake a far happier camper, and that means the team will be happier as well - always a good thing! Community Game Night kicked off last week, and we had a great time playing Terraria with everyone. We hope to see plenty more of you joining us along the way. Don’t be shy, we promise not to pwn you too hard! Here’s a screen of the shenanigans last Friday: http://i.imgur.com/v1XNSGI.jpg How about even more good news? To roll out our in-game code redemption, we are breaking out a gift we had prepared for the community last year to thank everyone for the amazing support we got during Greenlight: The Greenlight Helmet! It will hopefully be a great addition to everyone’s wardrobe and you can expect to be running around in that in the near future! This weekend we will also be doing some mad science around the community, and will have some very exciting news on that front next week! Things are going to get awesome, so keep an eye out for that announcement. Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you next time for ArkCo News!
