Hey everyone!
It’s been about a month since the last update, and I’ve been working hard behind the scenes on some major additions (stay tuned for those!) Before rolling out the big stuff, I wanted to drop a fresh update to smooth out the experience, fix some bugs, and introduce a few new mechanics to make survival feel a bit more organic.
Here is what’s new in Demo v0.6.2:
New Features & Mechanics
New Tool - The Sickle: Tired of picking grass slowly? Grab the new Sickle tool to cut grass much faster!
Character Silhouette: You will no longer disappear when walking behind walls or tall objects. A visual silhouette will now keep you visible at all times.
Tool Requirements: Gathering certain resources (like ores in the mines) now strictly requires the correct tool.
Late Night Rules: Don't ignore your bedtime! Staying awake late into the night now drains your energy 2x faster.
Passing Out: If you pass out from combat or drowning, you will wake up safe but exhausted, temporarily losing 30% of your maximum energy.
Quality of Life & Balancing
Time Scale Option: I’ve added a new setting to adjust the in-game time scale so you can play at your own pace.
Time UI: The in-game clock now updates in 10-minute intervals to reduce visual distraction.
Buffed Durability: Adjusted tool durabilities, your tools will now last much longer before breaking!
Mining Tweaks: Adjusted the hit counts and drop rates for ore sources to make mining feel more balanced and rewarding.
Economy Tweaks: Rebalanced the sell prices for various items.
Camera Presets: Updated the gameplay camera zoom presets for better viewing angles.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where moving a tool between inventory slots would instantly reduce its durability to zero.
Fixed an issue where already-crafted tools weren’t being counted toward active missions.
Fixed interaction prompts disappearing during your second (or later) runs in the same game session.
Fixed the tutorial overlay getting stuck on top of the main menu.
Fixed tutorial tooltips not positioning correctly across different screen resolutions and aspect ratios.
As always, thank you so much for playing the demo and sharing your feedback with me. I can't wait to share the next major features with you soon!
Cheers,
