Developer Comments

Goblin warships have landed, and goblins will be scaling your city walls with the help of the new Wave Spawn generator located in the new Systems Kit. Have your monsters wander in a region, or seek out the player for open conflict.

Over 100 new kit pieces have been added including flaming torches and sconces, mushrooms, and an expanded cemetery kit for creating spooky graveyards. Please note that to make cemetery wall sections walkable, a floor01 piece has to be placed on top of them.

For players who are limited by their graphics cards, we’ve implemented downsampling under the settings, enabling you to draw the game world at a lower resolution while keeping the UI at your native resolution, thereby helping performance.

Rivers, waterfalls, camp fires, and torches now have ambient sound effects as part of a new positional audio system which we’ll be expanding in future patches.

There is a backwards compatibility breaking change which will invalidate most previously saved editor maps. To fix this, first backup your map file, then open and edit the worldobjects.json file.

Replace...
"prefabName": "Chest_prefab",
"kitName": "Human_Buildings_Prefabs",
And...
"prefabName": "SpawnPoint",
"kitName": "Human_Buildings_Prefabs",
With...
"prefabName": "same as above",
"kitName": "Systems_Systems_Prefabs",

We’d like to remind players that the default build for Windows is now 64-bit, which the vast majority of players are using. Players with older 32-bit versions of Windows will need to opt in to the 32-bit build. For more information, please visit http://steamcommunity.com/app/224440/discussions/0/540744474771635312/
