FREEZE! ehem, Hi. Hey everyone, and happy Midsummer! Summer has arrived, and we've been cooking something special for you! We've also made some necessary changes so we can move forward with supporting the game past 2025. To celebrate, the game is 50% off during the Steam Summer Sale. Here’s a quick look at what’s new in this update:
Pet cosmetics
We're introducing a new tackle box with unlockable pets that can accompany you on your journey in Longvinter Island! Dogs, cats, and small birds will follow you around and have a bunch of cute animations to entertain you while chilling at the campfire. Be sure not to miss out since these special pet tackle boxes are dropping for only 1 month. Tackle boxes drop every 2 days, so while playing the game actively, you can grow your pet collection by a substantial amount!
Engine Upgraded to UE5
Speaking of our ability to move forward, we have now migrated the engine to UE5 to keep up with dependencies that we need to continue developing the game. Re-enabling anti-cheat would not have been feasible without this time-consuming migration. For those who are also developers, don't worry – we have disabled all the new rendering technologies that usually drag UE5 performance down, so you should expect similar performance with the game after updating.
Anti-Cheat Re-enabled
We have now been able to re-enable Easy Anti Cheat since we updated our engine to a newer version. For me, it's baffling to think that an engine version that was only 3 years old is no longer supported by plugin developers, but the big work is now done and we hope this will reduce the number of hackers in the game by at least some amount by having an anti-cheat solution.
Modding Support
Unfortunately, we did not manage to get modding support back working in time for this update, but we continue working on getting modding support back in as soon as possible. Meanwhile, you can still play 1.0 as a beta branch so you can still enjoy the modded experience!
