After four years of development, and a boatload of anticipation, the world’s first Community-Crafted MMO, Worlds Adrift, begins its journey into Early Access today! Created by Bossa Studios, the brains behind the acclaimed Surgeon Simulator and I am Bread, Worlds Adrift is our most ambitious game yet, offering an entirely user-generated environment, with a completely unscripted style of play. Previously in Closed Beta, Worlds Adrift today launches into Early Access and begins a new chapter in its development. To celebrate this milestone Worlds Adrift now includes a new culture - the Kioki Unity - and over 100 new islands from our Island Creator community. For a quick preview of some of the new Kioki islands take a look at the GIF above! Worlds Adrift will continue to evolve throughout Early Access, based on the extensive feedback you, our loyal band of Travellers, continue to provide. To follow progress and receive the latest updates sign up to our newsletter and follow our Roadmap. See you in the Skies! EXPLORE. BUILD. UNITE. Worlds Adrift is launching with the latest build, 0.2.0, updates include:

Additional servers for both US and EU regions
The world has been wiped, and will launch with a brand new layout with brand new islands
The new world is now separated into two diverse cultural regions; Saborian and Kioki, the
latter bringing with it all-new music and assets
Numerous new clothing items from Sabor, Bandinia, Ishgiru, Karem, Pin
A brand new in-game feedback form
Multiple bug fixes
Probably new ones...
VFX and SFX improvements

Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality - Update Now Live!
Hey Surgeons! Last month we posted a tentative update to the game on our beta branch based on all the feedback we'd collected from you guys about your experience with SS:ER. If you didn't catch that previously you can read all about it here. Here's a recap on what we've changed:
Hey Surgeons! Last month we posted a tentative update to the game on our beta branch based on all the feedback we'd collected from you guys about your experience with SS:ER. If you didn't catch that previously you can read all about it here. Here's a recap on what we've changed: Changes:

Magnets; how do they work?! Grabbing has been improved so that only a single finger (or fingers) can be used to pick up objects.
Touchingly easy! The thumb no longer needs to be held down to grab objects to prevent controller issues using the Vive or Oculus Touch controllers.
Masochists Rejoice! You can now stab yourself with syringes!
Recognition at last! Completion grades now appear on the clipboard.
Bug Fixes:

Achievement names and descriptions are listed correctly.
Green syringe effect no longer persists outside of the game.
Blood status effects no longer persist outside of certain surgeries.
Video tape now plays correctly when inserted into VCR.
Multiple tools have now been rebalanced. The circular bonesaw, surgical axe, hatchet, drill and hammer and are more consistent through all levels.
Hands will no longer spawn in before the level starts, which could cause players to interact with objects before the level starts.
Brain won’t shake around uncontrollably when the skull is broken sometimes on brain surgeries.
The response we received for the update was great so we've decided today to push it to the live version of the game. For most of you the game should auto update but if you need to you can force an update by doing the following:

Right click on Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality in your Library
Select Properties
Navigate to the Local Files tab
Left click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache
As always we're very interested in reading feedback, so if you have any thoughts or experience issues with this update please leave them in the comments below. See you in surgery, Bossa Studios xoxo

We’re going through (even more) changes!

Hi Surgeons! Thanks to everyone who’s left their feedback via the forums, reviews or directly about the last batch of changes we made to the game. We really appreciate the time and effort you guys have taken to help us improve Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality! Since the previous method of creating a separate ‘beta branch’ of the game and using it as a testing ground for future changes worked so well; we thought we’d go ahead and do that again. Here are the latest updates we’ve been tinkering with that have been included in this update to the beta branch: Changes:

Magnets; how do they work?! Grabbing has been improved so that only a single finger (or fingers) can be used to pick up objects.
Touchingly easy! The thumb no longer needs to be held down to grab objects to prevent controller issues using the Vive or Oculus Touch controllers.
Masochists Rejoice! You can now stab yourself with syringes!
Recognition at last! Completion grades now appear on the clipboard.
Bug Fixes:

Achievement names and descriptions are listed correctly.
Green syringe effect no longer persists outside of the game.
Blood status effects no longer persist outside of certain surgeries.
Video tape now plays correctly when inserted into VCR.
Multiple tools have now been rebalanced. The circular bonesaw, surgical axe, hatchet, drill and hammer and are more consistent through all levels.
Hands will no longer spawn in before the level starts, which could cause players to interact with objects before the level starts.
Brain won’t shake around uncontrollably when the skull is broken sometimes on brain surgeries.
Please don't forget that this is still a beta build, so there might still be some bugs. We’re particularly interested in your PC specs if you run into performance issues. Please send your dxdiag to [email protected] if you do. Beta Branch Access: If you would like to try the update version out you can access the above changes by switching to our beta branch using the following steps:

Right click on Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality in your Steam library
Click 'Properties'
Click the 'BETAS' tab
In the drop-down, select the beta you would like to opt into: "sser_beta". If this isn't available, sometimes you need to restart Steam. You shouldn't need a beta access code.
If your download doesn't start immediately, go back to Properties and click the LOCAL FILES tab, then Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
Once you're on the right branch, under the LOCAL FILES tab your current content BuildID should say 1529033, and the title in your library will say "Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality [sser_beta]"
If you'd like to switch back to the original version, go back to the BETAS tab and click NONE. You may need to re-verify to kick off the download again. And there we have it! Please leave your feedback in the comments or on the stickied forum thread (especially regarding performance)! See you in surgery, Bossa Studios xoxo
