All news Players around this date Read on Steam

DoN is being improved around the clock and this weekend release delivers all the goodies that went in over the past 2 weeks!

V0.5.1 Release Roundup

Input Keys highlighting

All player input hints have now been improved - raw text has been replaced with appropriate buttons and icons which are appropriately highlighted. This should make it much easier for new players to learn the game's controls!

Additionally, a new high-contrast theme is used for all player hints to make things easier to read.

DoN's Minimal HUD

This is a multi-update effort which aims at delivering maximum immersion to players by minimizing the need for the HUD to the greatest extent possible.

Here's what this this update has changed:
• HUD is hidden when player arrives within strike range of prey (if player has passed all relevant tutorials)
• HUD is hidden while player interacts with prey.
• HUD is automatically shown again during critical events such as grappling contests, etc

An actual in-game screenshot - The HUD is automatically hidden during key moments for maximum immersion!

Subsequent updates will bring further improvements under this umbrella, so look forward to a more immersive overall experience of the game! :)

Next Update

That's it for this update, but you can look forward to a new release every weekend for DoN from now on!

The game is now being improved around the clock allowing this shift to a weekly release cycle.

The next update will be out on 26th May 2023 and is sure to bring more improvements across the board to DoN's unique Nature World!

Thanks a lot for reading :)
