    Ishtaria 0.5.1 (alpha)

    This release is the first one built around a full story: the Gilgamesh datadisk (v0.4.0) with the walled city of Uruk.

    What's New

    • Play right after the installation. The Debian package and the standalone build connect to the Ishtaria world server (https://ishtaria.vitexsoftware.com/api) out of the box. A saved address, ISHTARIA_SERVER_URL and --server= still win, and a client built from the sources keeps the local development server.
    • Uruk, a living walled city. Houses, streets, canals and a quay drawn from a plan of the city, a stepped tower with Ishtar and her priests on top, a market and the king's palace. The minimap shows the city map (walls, streets, houses, canals).
    • Loading progress bar shown as soon as the planet is drawn; a story datadisk can give it its own marker (the Gilgamesh disk uses the Faravahar).
    • Wild animals are dangerous. Predators strike first at any low-level character who comes close, and are bolder while the hunter lays snares. Go round them. Predators prowl the hunter's way to the village and to Uruk, and crocodiles lie in the Euphrates beside the banks.
    • Characters that know only what they should. Elders each tell one tale and give one hint to a clay tablet; nobody knows the story before the hunter has lived it.
    • Companions follow you. Shamhat walks to the hunter and stays beside him.
    • Support the development: the website now has a Patreon link and ways to contribute.

    Fixed

    • The client no longer crashes when sky ships are refreshed.
    • The world no longer stalls after the first choice; terrain is prepared in parallel.
    • A character who flees from a non-player character no longer takes counter-blows out of reach.
    • Swimming no longer drowns a character with strength left: drowning happens only at low stamina. A hunter can drink from irrigation canals.
    • Sheep and pigs face the way they walk; animals no longer walk at head height.

    Notes

    • Needs server 0.5.0 or newer for the new story features (minimum compatible server for the client is unchanged).
    • Only Debian/Ubuntu x86-64 is supported. The Windows and macOS builds are unsigned and untested: expect a warning from the system.
    • Source: the primary repository is https://git.vitexsoftware.com/Ishtaria/ishtaria-client; GitHub is a secondary mirror. These files are copies of the builds made from the primary repository, not built on GitHub.
    • Early alpha: expect rough edges. First physical landing, sailing and federation handovers are not finished yet.
