0.51 Naked & Scared Update

Hi all,

its hot summer here and Steam Survival Event running, so an Ideal time to get naked.

So current update officially enables full nudity in game. It can be set in Game settings.

I will let you explore it yourself and mention other important changes in game.

With recent change to Unreal Engine 5 as one of the first game available to players on this engine, I needed to change old obsolete UE4 VFX to new Niagara system.

So VFX for footsteps, based on different terrain or water splashes when swimming were replaced. Same goes for firearms shot impacts, depending on material they hit. Blood effect was added as well, will be adjusted to the size of animal in future.
Ambient VFX life such as butterflies, flies, dragonflies, fireflies were replaced as well and I have added bats to the cave (wait there i a cave?)

I hope to add new bees, mosquitos and fireants soon as well.

Additionally changes were made to Ray type of fish. I have replaced stingray, mantas with new ones and added 3 more ray fish types. The reason was the new animations, that will make the fish turning more smooth and natural. So only larger animal, that is still missing turning animations is komodo dragon.
Also the way how animals were spawning was changed. They should not be more stuck on spawn.

I would like to appreciate, how the community started to use recently added Photomode and Exploration mode. I see very nice screenshot in our game discord channel and this is one of my favorites bellow.

So please do not hesitate and join our discord community.

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…
