October 13, 2025 - v0.6.0

We've reworked the way that monsters spawn into the game. Monsters now spawn evenly distributed throughout the world. Also, we added sound effects!

New Features

• The game now includes sound effects.
• Monsters now spawn in an even distribution throughout the world.
• Monsters are now passive, attacking only if provoked.
• Monsters can now spawn in groups.
• The client now has an optional tickInterval setting.
  • This controls how often onTick is called when there have been no updates from the server.
  • It defaults to 300ms.
• gameTime is now part of the heartbeat object.
  • Previously, the client tracked durations using the client's Date.now(), which caused synchronization issues.
  • gameTime represents the total elapsed milliseconds since the game was created.
• Added several new monsters:
  • plains
    • goblinScout
  • forest
    • orcBerserker
    • orcShaman
    • orcScout
    • satyr
• Moved sightRange to unit stats.
  • This is the first step toward allowing different units to have unique sight ranges and enabling spells or abilities to modify them.

Breaking Changes

• Removed several server-only fields from client-side units.
  • These were never intended to be sent to the client, as they don't serialize correctly.
  • The removed fields are:
    • unitsInSight, lastUpdate, lastAction, npc, threat, completedQuests

Miscellaneous

• Updated the server to send an mp event more quickly when casting spells.
• Client/Server:
  • connectionEvent, beganEquippingSpell, beganCasting, beganHarvesting, beganCrafting now all send a gameTime field to keep durations in sync.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the server wasn't sending monster intent updates.
• Fixed an issue where consuming ammo didn’t trigger an inventory update event.
• Fixed an issue where actionTarget was set incorrectly when casting spells.
• Fixed several issues with the client becoming out of sync.
