Patch 1.3.5.0 – The Road North, New Enemies, and First NPC Outpost!

Hey explorers!
We're back with a major update focused on polishing the starting experience, introducing new features step by step, and laying the groundwork for future expansions of the world of Wild Planet.

This patch brings a general overhaul of the starting area, including improved flow, new threats, first passes at localization, and… our very first NPC Outpost! Buckle up

here's everything new in 1.3.5.0 👇

  • Reworked the Abandoned Scientific Outpost:

    • New buildings

    • New enemies

  • Added new alien monolith towers — mysterious structures requiring puzzles or platforming to reach. These will evolve into something bigger in future updates

  • Introduced a Survivor Outpost in the forest (Work in Progress):

    • First pass of NPCs and environmental storytelling

    • Will be expanded further in Patch 1.4 with deeper systems and level design.

🤖 New NPCs & Enemies

  • Improved general UI and added better building placement feedback

  • Updated multiple VFX/SFX across the board for a more immersive feel

  • Added subtle FX to trees and resource nodes for better visual clarity
