A quick look at the current state of OctoberProject development with the OctoberPlains v1.0-pre1 release.

New and noteworthy changes in this release:
-UI is now paginated if there are too many crafting recipes of inventory items
-there is a basic "creative mode", although entering it isn't yet exposed
-a basic "server console" exists, although there aren't currently many options
-a bunch of new items have been added, including a "quern" crafting station for making flour and grinding ores (basic "ore doubling")
-the AI behaviour is now a bit less rigid

Plans for the 1.0-pre2 release:
-world generation (although exactly what this looks like is still being determined)
-dynamic configuration changes via console (hostile/peaceful world mode as well as survival/creative individual player modes)

Work continues,
Jeff.
