Vandrel Alpha 0.1.1 — Alpha 3
Pre-release
Pre-release
This Alpha refreshes the public collaborator build with two player-visible improvements: context actions are now shown at the center reticle, and actors use stable, truthful approach geometry when working with blocking objects and nonblocking scene dressings.
What changed:
- added a centered interaction prompt that names the aimed-at object and the action available through E or left-click;
- shows ready actions in green and blocked actions in amber with the reason;
- added the prompt and showcase controls to F1 help;
- fixed resource approaches so actors stop circling or walking away when weaving baskets or foraging;
- proved the ordinary player-input sequence from grass to a woven basket, then a complete berry-picking animation, inventory transfer, and basket return.
Verification completed before publication:
- built from Vandrel commit
08badd0a28d54c89955dedd9a6037b42171640c1; - release-focused checks passed, and the resource-approach package passed 132 focused tests;
- exported with Godot 4.7.2 and the supported bundled .NET 8 runtime;
- both the built package and a cleanly extracted copy reached ordinary Main with 461 startup scenery instances;
- the built and extracted 195-file manifests matched, including exactly one
Vandrel.dlland the required .NET host/runtime files; - no application-error dialog, .NET crash event, WER report, or dump was found;
- ZIP SHA-256:

Known Alpha limitations:
- character animation polish, foot grounding, and some autonomous long-form workflows remain active work;
- navigation and dense-scene collision behavior still need broader play coverage;
- some terrain and scene-dressing visuals remain provisional;
- the forage proof camera was partly obstructed by a boulder, although the complete input/action/inventory sequence and animation-finished event passed.
