Welcome to RuneRebels 2018!
We are excited to release this to you guys, as it will be one of many.
We will be doing monthly updates, focusing on consistency, and quality over quantity.
With this update we wanted to focus on something easier to work on, rather than tackling a beast that may put too much of a weight on our backs.

More personally, for me it has been very tough recently to balance working on the game with everything going on in my real life. It is much harder to find time to work on things that you enjoy when doing schoolwork, paying bills, and other aspects of life. However, I would like to reaffirm that this project still holds a special place in my heart and will continue to be supported and updated.
I am extremely excited and happy to announce with the team that as stated above, we will be releasing at least one update per month with no exceptions for the foreseeable future. The amount of content in these updates may not always be equal, some may focus more on specific areas where some may focus more on the tools that the developers use to do work independent of me. Regardless, we plan on keeping the momentum and communication going to keep the server and community alive and kicking. I am a huge fan of the Dolphin Emulator (https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/) blog, and we are looking to model our communication style after theirs.
Lastly, as we work on more tools and automation to aid with the development of the server, we will be looking out for more developers, bug reporters, and testers. You may also notice that some of our staff appear as online in game on the "Telegram" world, which actually redirects private messages to their mobile phone (https://telegram.org/). We hope to roll this feature out to players soon as well, but having constant access to staff for any questions you may have will hopefully help reaffirm that we are there for you guys.
Enjoy the update, and we look forward to next month's release. :)

• Stew
• Dairy Churning (Cream, butter, and cheese)
• Added message field in cooking_food_definitions to override default cooking message

• When an uncookable item is used on a cooking source, it will now say: "You can't cook that on a fire." or "You can't cook that on a range."
• Added support for Cooking Gauntlets

• Fixed not facing the NPC you are attacking at all times
• Fixed not picking up one singular item from dropped unstackable items
Example: Picking up Bronze Bars dropped from Bronze Dragons that are in multiples of 1
would place all bronze bars into your inventory, or none at all depending on remaining inventory space
• Fixed the issue with emotes not cancelling out actions
• Fixed robots counting towards player count

• It will now say "You can't reach that!" when trying to interact with objects too far away
• You can now burn food by using cooked food on a cooking source
• Farming message improvements (lots of "INSERT" messages fixed)
