Excited? You can pre-order the game from DLGamer and get 20% off the initial Steam price if you want.* The first batch of updates to the permissions system went live this week.* This week, Saroman worked on textures for addy & glimmer armour so that it can be made to display correctly. Yet another thing for you Wurmians to wear! Oh how we spoil you.* Warlander sent us a few pictures of his latest coding successes with the village planning tool DeedPlanner. He's getting ever-closer to being able to go live with bridges, which we'll also add to the in-game deed exporter so you can export on-deed bridge designs to the planner too.

=== News #76: Dragon Armor Preview ===''By Doctorchese - [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/130305-news-76-dragon-armour-preview/#entry1338294/ Forum Link]* Apparently, a few devs have been working on "something big" for a few weeks now already. We don't know what it is, or why they're working on it... will Code Club AB soon become a political party in Sweden? Or, back in-game, is Wurm finally going to get the rainbow colored unicorns it has needed so desperately for years? All we knew is that they're busy, and might have some information to share within the next few weeksEaster!* A while ago, we mentioned that we'd focus on bigger features come fall. Well, the leaves are falling; we're now in a bit of a transition phase between a summer of little things and the coming months which will focus on bigger stuff. Keep an eye out for new posts, we'll be elaborating on or next big plans for the game!

The bunny will now includes details like buildings and fences!* In additionspawn automatically on Easter, more work has gone into the in-game viewer from Tich, like an overlay to show which tiles are underwater and a tooltip on mouseover to show what each type of tile israther than being summoned.* Tich also continued to work on They will spawn around the new permissions system this week. Below are examples of the proposed new building and starter deed permissions screens, and you can click here to give feedback on her proposed improvements to the deed permissions system.* Lastly for dev news is a small change to the way that wounds will be displayed. Bandaged wounds will be shown lastso keep your eyes peeled! Which ought to help in stressful situations when you have to heal after you get attacked by that pesky aged troll.

There will be a red, black, white, green and a new blue version of both drakes and dragons, each with their own drake or scale type of armour material drop.* This week, the art team have also been working on giving steel items and armour their own look. The darker tint in the screenshot below shows what we're going for, and will eventually end up on most steel items ranging from horse armour to plate armour, differentiating the stronger metal from its iron counterpart.* Last week we told you about the new village plan export system that we're working on, that will allow you to export a plan of a deed to a 3rd party planning program like Warlander's Deed Planner 2. It's looking good, and below is a picture of a Wurmian hillside that was successfully exported from the game to the program, with 3D terrain and trees! Eventually, it will even export all floors and design features of buildings.

The end goal map pieces will be like a cohesive, accurate and highly informative Wiki that lists as much information as possible about the game. As a part of thispuzzle, we it will be reducing up to you to determine the number proper orientation of player accounts to a more manageable size. Less than 30 players have edited the Wiki since pieces on the start map as I have randomly turned most of them 90 or 180 degrees. I promise you none of 2015them are turned 270 degrees, and the "manageable size" we have in mind is still far larger than if you find any that. Players will be able to apply for an account are in what will simply be a slightly stricter and more monitored system than before. This will help to ensure that edit standards can be set and that vandalism/security issues can be prevented, while still keeping just means you went the Wiki open to all to contribute tolong way around.
