Despite the cold we are alive and kicking!
It's actually record heat here in Sweden right now, so what better time to release a winter patch!?
In this patch we have added our second season: you guessed it, Winter! (there's more coming as well) We also fixed some bugs, tweaked some tweaks and balanced some inbalances!
- Added snow on the ground, and some falling snow as well
- Ice ice baby (on the water)
- Firewood consumption in winter goes through the roof
- Farms produce less during winter
- Fishing is now kind of hard when the water is frozen
- Added a season clock
- You can see what season your savegame is currently in
- Increased chance of positive traits
- Trees now bend in the wind
- Floating trees should no longer appear
- Fixed bug where vikings would not converse
- Increased initial amount of firewood on houses
- During pause the camera will rotate slightly
Thank you all for supporting the game, and we're super hyped to speed up the progress on the game again, we have so many awesome ideas from the community to get through! :)
All the best,
Simon Ulander and Danny Perlman

Going solo this time, it's been really hard getting to this point, but finally I feel like i have the start of something great that is ready for Early Access. Its still quite buggy, but stable enough to be in early access. There are way too many changes to list off, and i've probably forgotten hundreds of small things i've changed, added or removed. But the biggest changes of…WE ARE GOING ON VACATIONSo i've been meaning to make this announcement for a while. I've finally decided to just do it. WE ARE TAKING A LONG VACATION! Both me and danny are completely burnt out and stressed out of our minds. We have tried for so long to just survive, and kept releasing sub-par patches and slowly tried to ramp up production. But after very long discussions we have decided that this is the wrong way to…
