Happy May Day, Heroes!
Yep, we're still kicking! It’s been nearly six months since our last update, and we want to sincerely apologize for the radio silence. Truth is, the whole dev team has been completely heads-down, grinding day and night to overhaul the game.
Now that the holidays are here, we finally have the confidence to show off what we’ve been working on behind the scenes. TL;DR: We practically rebuilt the game’s core foundation from scratch.
The NPCs Are Actually "Alive" Now
We've given our AI NPCs a massive personality injection. If you take them mining, they’ll actually banter with you. In combat, some are absolute battle-crazed maniacs, others will cower in fear, and some... just want to go back to bed.
Back at camp, they have their own daily routines. Most of your crew will hit the hay when they're tired, but you'll always spot a few try-hards hammering away at the forge at 2 AM. You no longer need to micromanage them like a strict boss. Kick back, relax, and watch these little guys hustle to build up a camp you can truly call home.
A Massive Facelift for the Land of Oz
We didn't just upgrade the graphics across the board—we poured our hearts into breathing life into all those previously empty areas. Water now reflects the clouds, leaves physically blow in the wind, and every biome features its own unique ecosystem and dynamic weather.
We’ve also sprinkled a ton of Easter eggs and interactive details into every corner, so exploring the map actually feels rewarding.
Unleash Your Inner Architect & Engineer
We’ve added an insane amount of new building materials over the last few months. Go wild! And for the hardcore tinkerers out there, we’ve implemented a fully functional Logic & Circuit System.
Sensor lights, conveyor belts, advanced logic gates—we've got it all. Ready to relive those late nights building Redstone contraptions in Minecraft?
Farmers Rejoice: Weird & Wacky Flora
While exploring, you’ll stumble across some truly bizarre—and honestly, kind of hilarious-looking—plants. Don't just walk past them! Figure out how to harvest them, and you can bring them all back to your camp to start a farm.
What you do with these rare crops is up to you: show them off as base decorations, sell them on the market for a huge profit, or throw them in a stew to cook up god-tier meals with massive stat buffs.
The Armory Got a Major Upgrade
During the last playtest, we heard your feedback loud and clear: the weapons felt a bit vanilla. Well, we took that personally. We've rolled out a massive new arsenal with wildly different styles and mechanics.
Still can't find a weapon that clicks with your playstyle? No worries. Just grab your blacksmith companion and have them custom-forge exactly what you want!
Honestly, we've changed so much in the last six months that this post barely scratches the surface. We’ll be doing deep dives into all these new features very soon.
Before we go, we have two massive announcements:
We're officially joining the Steam Next Fest on June 15th!
We’ll be dropping a brand-new, free playable demo featuring full co-op and all the new content unlocked. Please, please wishlist the game on Steam (it seriously helps us out so much!) so you get notified the second the demo goes live.
A new round of Closed Playtesting starts soon!
Can’t wait to jump back into the Land of Oz? Drop a comment below to sign up! As a huge thank you, selected playtesters will receive some exclusive physical merch.
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for sticking with us over the last six months. We're officially back to our regular update schedule (no more disappearing acts, we promise).
What feature are you most hyped about? Got any roasts or feedback for us? Let’s chat in the comments!
Have an amazing May Day holiday—eat well, rest up, and play some great games!
