See you all then!

Ongoing projects currently in the works include the addition of Phoenix
abilities, NPC arenas, frost Giga attacks, compasses, and a banking storage
system. Other upcoming updates include an enhancement to the windmills, CI
scripts, saving window size, the selection of a single-player world, addition of
lava material, and improvements to the weather network protocol. Work is also
ongoing on ship movement, pet commands, Terracotta ruins, dwarven quarry,
coastal towns, clifftown rework, and axe skills. They are also planning to
implement physics interactions that increase your height when gliding, including
the introduction of thermal and ridgelines.
