Major update

Multiplayer Is Here! Right Now!

Forest Doesn’t Care · published 28 Sep 2025, 17:14 UTC · build 20163015

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello!
Just a few days ago we thought:
“What if we just drop in multiplayer and see what happens?”
Things escalated quickly — and now there’s a working beta: invite your friends and explore the forest together.
Yes, some polish is still needed for smoother synchronization, but you can already play.

What’s New

  • 🕹 Multiplayer (Beta) – core gameplay replication is up and running.

  • 🗣 Whistle {R} – call to each other so you don’t get lost.

  • 👉 Pointing {Q} – show your friends exactly where to look.

  • 🍄 Mushroom Stats – compare who gathered the most.

  • 🐿 Squirrels – fixed stuttering when they froze (still improving).

  • 🌄 Real-Time Day/Night – minor tweaks, monitoring stability.

  • ⚙ Lots of Replication Work – sounds boring, but it was a big job.

The game keeps growing and evolving.
Got ideas or found a bug? Drop a comment — we’d love your feedback!
