Hey all,
Here are the new features in version 0.16.3 (available in the demo)
Weather forecast system
Previously, the weather forecast was permanently displayed in the top-left corner of the screen.
It was convenient… but a bit too easy. No surprises.
Now, to forecast the weather, you need to stand still for a short moment and observe the sky in different directions.
- Easy mode: forecast up to 4 hours
- Normal mode: up to 3 hours
- Hardcore mode: up to 2 hours
Always carry everything you need to start an emergency fire.
Even more so now, as storms attract special Tengus.
Storm Tengus
You already know the Tengus.
You hear their distant cries and instinctively prepare bait, just in case you are being tracked.
But now, some of them appear specifically during snowstorms.
Fortunately, they are afraid of campfires, and to a lesser extent, hand torches.
You know what to do.
Other news
Thanks a lot for your feedback, many suggestions are already implemented:
- Use the Interact (E) key to eat and activate items
- Crafting: added Flat / Directory view selection
- Added an Equipment Status Overlay (weapon & torch durability, remaining arrows, etc.)
- House roof color now depends on the region status
- Many other small changes
Fixes
- Score (Y) not visible after permanent death
- Various localization fixes
- Proper handling of spaces in world seeds
- Freeze effect persisting during the death menu
- Other technical fixes, especially related to Chinese keyboards
Thanks again to the hundreds of demo testers for the great feedback.
I will be back soon with the Early Access release date.
All the best,
Thomas
