Greetings Adventurers,
the past few days have been focused on polishing, expanding, and connecting existing systems to make the world of Guilds of Mountgate feel more immersive and coherent.
One of the biggest highlights of this update is the continued expansion of the weather system. Rain is no longer alone — fog, snow, frost, and cloud cover now have their own visual effects, while the first version of the new ambience sound system helps bring the world to life. Combined with recent improvements to World Events, traveling through the world should feel more dynamic than ever.
The Journal has also received a significant expansion. In addition to tracking discovered resources, players can now collect crafting recipes and automatically keep track of how often individual recipes have been crafted. The long-term goal is for the Journal to evolve into a personal record of your adventures, discoveries, and progression throughout the world.
We've also continued refining progression systems. Armor can now take durability damage during dangerous situations such as Travel Events, extending the durability system beyond tools and making equipment choices more meaningful even before the full combat system arrives. Crafting progression has been adjusted as well, with recipe durations and experience rewards now scaling more naturally based on the complexity of the item being produced.
On the quality-of-life side, several frequently requested features have made their way into the game. Customizable hotkeys are now available for major windows such as Inventory, Storage, Character, Journal, Quest Log, and the World Map. Trading has become more convenient, player coin information is now displayed directly within merchant windows, and storage shipments can now be observed traveling across the world map as their own visible trade routes.
Founder Edition owners can now proudly display their exclusive Founder title, while numerous localization fixes, UI improvements, balancing adjustments, and backend optimizations continue to improve the overall experience.
As always, a huge thank you to everyone testing the game, reporting bugs, sharing feedback, and helping shape Guilds of Mountgate. Your support continues to have a direct impact on the direction of development.

See you in Vellgar,
