I’ve been working to make randomized worlds possible so that each play through is fun and different. After a lot of trial and error, I finally have runtime-randomized zones up and running in the game! I’ve also added map fog so you got to explore to discover what’s on the map. Ho

Doubled creature spawn rates in each zone to make them feel more populated. Reduced the “Dancing Plague” achievement requirement to 300 minutes (previously 25 hours). This better reflects the historical 60‑day plague, given that each in‑game day is 5 minutes. Fixed an issue where

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a quick update. I've been testing Mystal Haven on a Steam Deck, and things are looking pretty good so far. I'm in the process of getting the game verified for Steam Deck compatibility by Valve. If you have a Deck, feel free to give it a try. T
