📝 What’s On Our Plate Next (For the Demo)
Here are the things we are planning to work on next, based on your feedback:
Reworking the hunger and starvation system. Many of you reported that it feels shallow, so we will add more depth, introduce liquid containers, and rebalance hydration.
Localization. We will start with a few languages such as Simplified Chinese and German, and expand over time.
Full-body player animations, especially better and more dynamic mounted animations.
Fixing UI scaling issues on wide and ultra-wide screens.
Investigating and fixing falling-through-map bugs.
Improving mounted creature movement and addressing related bugs.
Making the early game and quests easier to understand so players can get into the game more naturally.
Key remapping support.
Quality of life improvements for the inventory and building systems.
Continued FPS and performance improvements.
These are the tasks currently on our list for the demo. We might not get to all of them at once, but we will work through them steadily, one by one. If there’s something you’d like us to prioritize, or if we missed an issue that matters to you, please let us know. Thank you for your patience and for sticking with us. Thank you again for all your feedback, it’s been incredibly helpful. ❤️
