Hi added Wild Boar temporary to the first map. Will be moved to second map similar to Bear and Mountain Goat when available.

Been working on other animals such as Fox, Wolf, male and female Deer. Those will be available on other maps only.

Larger animals can now knock your character to ground. Crocodile can strike you with its tail. where Wild Boar, Mountain Goat (and deer) can headbang you and run away.

Started to replace old Cascade effect for Niagara ones. First is the fire, you can see fire now depends on amount of fuel in fireplace. Effects for torch and especially flare will be adjusted, as soon I have them from artist.

I will be really happy for your feedback and hope to see a lot of nice screenshots on social media and Steam page. It will help a lot with the visibility of the game.

Please feel free to use hastag #areaz_game on Instagram, #areaz on FB or #areaz on twitter it will help a lot.

Thank you for understanding and support.

I will be also pleased to answer any questions.

AREAZ now runs on DirectX 12 with DLSS 4.5, and on modern hardware the difference is not subtle. What you can expect: RTX 30 series - DLSS upscaling, more stable frame times, noticeably smoother traversal RTX 40 and 50 series - substantial gains on top of that thanks to frame generation All nextgen cards - the streaming hitches are gone.

Note: The crafting system itself isn’t changing — this is purely about clarity and usability. AREAZ crafting is based on what you hold in your hands , not just clicking a recipe — and I want to make that feel…
