August Update

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This month we celebrated Switzerland's birthday! What better way to mark the occasion than with some Swiss mountains, a group of Zurich scientists and… eldritch horrors?

Mountain Biome Update

This month we’ve worked on the mountain biome again - the second of three biomes in the game. In this graphic pass, we focused on adding polish and cleaning up any assets that weren’t up to snuff yet. Specifically, the ground needed some TLC, since it was the biggest flat-coloured area in the environment and looked empty and unfinished. With the addition of a path, loose rocks and a splash of colour from vegetation, the mountain biome looks more lush and resembles a typical Swiss mountain pass much more.

New Monsters - Thorns and Tree Frog

As promised last month, we’re back with some monster designs! This time around we’re highlighting the biblically accurate thorns and a hungry, hungry tree frog!

Meet the Scientists!

Naturally, weird creatures like these need studying — it’s what you’re doing as well, after all! And you’re not alone in your endeavour. A small research group from Zurich has travelled all this way just to see what they can find out for themselves. Of course, the big city has a lot more fancy equipment, but perhaps you can help each other out?

That’s it for this month! As always wishlist our game, share it with your friends and if you haven’t already join our Discord!
