Hello Lords and Ladies!
We're now T-Plus 6 Days since our Early Access Release on Steam and whoo it was a roller coaster. After EA release last Friday we got a influx of players that led to server issues, causing crashes and disruptions, after pulling an all nighter Friday and Saturday we released minor patch 1.01a, and then later that week another minor patch 1.01b to address bugs and glitches within our server software.
We're proud to announce our first major update, v1.02 of RivenWorld! This update address a lot of things within the world, and will add additional areas to explore and journey into.
New World Design
With this new map we've added 2 additional lakes, 1 river and a different resource node distribution to encourage exploration and adventure through the world.
The map has also been overhauled, and we've added a road system to help players navigate the world!
Night Lighting Improvement
Along with the world update, we've added 2 new light sources, and made the night time a bit brighter so everyone can see!
New Light Sources
Wall Oil Lamp
Oil Chandelier
Bed Respawn System
Craft a bed and simply press your [q] key to bind your soul to the bed. As long as the bed is not destroyed you will respawn at your bed location when you die.
