Note
Progress has been slower this week as our programmer, Nyder, has been out sick. Despite this, we’re still releasing an updated Demo build later this week to address several bugs reported by the community.
• Introduced the Day and Night cycle, dynamically changing the lighting and atmosphere during gameplay.
• Worm spawners were unintentionally removed in a previous patch — they’ve now been restored and will once again appear in the world as intended.
• Removed all developer commands and cheat windows from the game, as some players were triggering them unintentionally, interfering with regular gameplay.
• Fixed an issue where certain newly added items were not being saved properly, which could cause an infinite loading bug. This fix is in place, but we are monitoring it for stability.
• Fixed a bug where starting the game in the tutorial would fail to mark the first quest objective (“Dead Man’s Rest”) on the map.
The option to choose the time of day has been temporarily removed due to the implementation of the Day and Night cycle. We plan to bring it back in the future for those who prefer a fixed time setting.
• Known bug with shotguns applying excessive bleeding.
• Quest markers do not appear when loading a save, and sometimes show outdated markers after quest completion.
• Dead bodies are not saved in save files.
• Changing visuals in the menu may not update the preview, though they apply correctly in-game.
• The stash shadow is bugged when closed.
• Certain status effects and buffs (e.g. health and stamina regeneration) may not function properly.
• Under certain conditions, your money can become negative.
