Hi Survivors,
It’s been a year since the game came out in early access. We’ll talk about the release date of the new patch, what we’ve changed, what’s new and future plans, so stay tuned.
PATCH RELEASE DATE
First of all, the release date of the patch. We know that we have not been active on social networks for some time, we worked on a new patch, but as the team is super small, we wanted to add as much content to the game, but we listen to you on our Discord channel, join us and give us suggestions, reviews or just talk to us. Finally.. Patch release date is 15.June.2022.
PATCH NOTES
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
We made some mistakes at the beginning and we wanted to fix it while the game was still in its early development. The old player controller got stuck in 2018 and so we were limited to do all the fancy things that are standard in new games today. We’ve reworked the player controller from the ground up that gives us the ability to do a lot more with player animations, player movement and abilities.
We have temporarily removed some core components that we will slowly bring back into play through the next few patches. The main reason for this is the dedicated server test and the performance of the game itself and test player vs player combat. With the new patch comes a new map into play and the new map will expand according to the new content with each patch. TDW will now receive update every 2 weeks.
Character customization, we prepared new human player characters (male and female), and customization of player character is coming very shortly after this patch.
