Ars Notoria Journal #6

Hi, everyone! In this development log update, we wanted to share with you some new building features that we recently added to the game. They mostly include various interior objects, decorations, and mechanics that will allow you to further customize your buildings. [previewyoutube=fxXg5GPZEqw;full][/previewyoutube] There are many new furniture objects and decorations that you can place inside buildings that you constructed: from tables, chairs, fireplaces, shelves, cupboards, and cabinets to curtains, rugs, paintings, chandeliers, and tableware.

For example, you can choose a texture that will be applied to a wooden wall panel, change the colors of different parts of the panel (wood, pattern main and background colors), as well as modify its size or position.

[h3]Trophies[/h3] [img]https://i.imgur.com/G5zvaAb.gif[/img] Another feature that we implemented recently is trophies. You will be able to obtain them after defeating various enemies and bosses, and also as rewards for completing certain quests. We added special craftable stands and wall mounts where you can place them.

You will be able to display various armor pieces, weapons, and artifacts that you obtained while exploring the game world on these stands. They have several types like free-standing or wall-mounted, as well as weapon cabinets. [h3]Spiral staircases[/h3] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7mSG5IH.gif[/img] We also added modules for creating spiral staircases (stairs, railings, and special floor pieces). Multiple spiral staircase modules can be connected together in case you want to use them for multi-floor towers or other tall structures. They are much more compact than normal stairs and can fit into a single modular floor piece, so they can be also useful for small buildings where there isn’t much space available. [h3]Greenhouses[/h3] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ci56E43.gif[/img] There are some new furniture objects for gardening and farming that can help you to create greenhouses or herbalist workshops: planters for crops, hanging racks, flower pots, gardener tables, containers for storing herbs, etc. Using this equipment you will be able to cultivate plants that you discover in the game world inside houses that you build.
