Alpha 2 is out! This time we’ve added tons of modding support, butchery and cooking (including cannibalism with attendant psychological effects), an ambience sound suite from Alistair, and a pile of other goodies including various oft-requested features. | Alpha 2 is out!

* Restructured how map section meshes are rebuilt to eliminate the in-between step that allocated large amounts of data. Now things print directly onto the mesh’s working data, which is a major optimization. Code is cleaner now too. | * Restructured how map section meshes are rebuilt to eliminate the in-between step that allocated large amounts of data.

* Ridiculously huge performance improvements across the board due to simple rewriting of old perf-blind code. For example, we no longer draw the whole map every frame(!) - and tons of others. | * Ridiculously huge performance improvements across the board due to simple rewriting of old perf-blind code.

* For modding, I cleaned up the load sequence so it loads every definition in the game and all mods before resolving all references between them. | * For modding, I cleaned up the load sequence so it loads every definition in the game and all mods before resolving all references between them. | ||
* For modding, decoupled many references that found ThingDefinitions via their entitytypes, so we can have lots of definitions that share entitytypes. Now they use the ThingDefinitions directly. | * For modding, decoupled many references that found ThingDefinitions via their entitytypes, so we can have lots of definitions that share entitytypes.

* Some late-night optimization, especially to the reachability checker, which, although not an expensive algorithm, can be called thousands of times in a frame, and so needs to be fast as hell. | * Some late-night optimization, especially to the reachability checker, which, although not an expensive algorithm, can be called thousands of times in a frame, and so needs to be fast as hell. | ||

* Created the passion system, which affects learning rate according to characters’ natural inclination towards different subjects. As in real life, anyone can learn anything that they’re willing to do, but you learn a lot faster if you’re naturally interested in the subject. | * Created the passion system, which affects learning rate according to characters’ natural inclination towards different subjects.
