I had to temporarily downgrade the NJ.WS engine for Mac. This issue will not be resolved until 2027 when we do our early access release.
I am attempting to make an upgrade to the Mac version in exchange for only supporting Apple Silicon. If it works, I will update the minimum requirements.
Fixes to enemy combat behaviour - the melee enemies now approach closer. Fixed jump bug introduced by repairing spawning behaviour.
Blanca's dialogue with the bear in overgrown meadow now looks right.
Fixed a bug where quest markers would not hide in cutscenes with teleports

Quest markers now hide during dialogue

- added shadows - fixed lights during shake/rotate - added monster motion during attacks - added hugging and other choreography - kept monster hp integrity across sighting. - many other minor fixes
All harvestable items now emanate a "smell" of the harvested item floating above. These smells are visible in the dark, as are freshly harvested items.
Join our discord: Quality of life fixes: Squirrel and songbird drops brought to 100% All animals now auto-harvest like the monsters do. The first doe is easier to kill. The first badger is easier to kill. Bug fixes: All early quest (hill run) quests now cutscene to the correct lo
A simple naming bug has been causing me trouble all evening. This should fix it.
