Hello everyone!

Release 0.0.7 is ready for download. This time, we focused on making the world more beautiful and varied, while simultaneously tweaking the combat system balance.

Here are the highlights of the update:

🌲 World & Generation

Exploring the world should be rewarding and visually impressive. We worked on the procedural generation to achieve this:

  • Vegetation 2.0: The flora has been optimized. Expect more variations and a more natural placement of vegetation.

  • Resources: We fixed a configuration error and improved the placement of resources. You should now be able to find what you need more reliably.

  • Points of Interest: Interesting locations can now be generated multiple times in the world, making exploration more fruitful.

⚔️ Game Balancing (Important!)

We adjusted the armor system to make combat more exciting:

  • Armor Adjustment: The "Armor Scale" has been corrected from 100 to 1. Effectively, this means enemies are indirectly stronger and hits will hurt more. Prepare yourself well for fights!

🧠 AI & Bug Fixes

To ensure everything runs smoothly, we further refined the AI:

  • Smarter Animals: If an animal wants to flee and its path is blocked or the target point is unreachable, it no longer gets stuck but immediately calculates a new escape route.

  • Navigation: A bug was fixed where "Whisper Stones" were interfering with navigation.

⚙️ UI, Gameplay & Save Games

Small changes with a big impact on comfort:

  • Inventory Info: Item names are now displayed when hovering over them in the inventory.

  • Controls: Inverted mouse Y-axis ("Mouse Invert") is now active by default. Note: If you prefer standard controls, you can change this back in the settings.

  • Technical: Server save files have been unified to prepare for smoother world generation in the future.


Good luck in the new, more dangerous world! We are looking forward to your feedback on the new difficulty level.

Happy Gaming!
