We’re saying Happy Halloween a tad early and gifting you all a little surprise with this update. You’ll find the costume above in your Stash, and guess what? It’s yours forever. That’s right. As an additional bonus to our founders, we’ve given these items of clothing out to everyone playing the game at this stage. No one else will have access to this set once the Founder’s Packs stop being available at the conclusion of Closed Beta.
If you’re interested in finding out how assets such as these items of clothing are made, check out our first “Behind the Scenes” video with Worlds Adrift’s lead artist, Jack:

Now, we had hoped this update would be 0.1.5, which has a lot of back end upgrades in it that pave the way for future updates (like 0.1.6, which includes the Swivel Gun and comes with a world wipe).
Unfortunately, last week as we were packaging the 0.1.5 build it basically… caught fire. We’re still investigating what’s gone wrong, but we began receiving error after error.
Here’s a livestream of our dev team currently:
We’re aiming to get the issues with 0.1.5 sorted ASAP, but again, this is new technology and therefore these issues haven’t been encountered before!
In the meantime, we didn’t want you to miss out on the cool Halloween costume, so we took it out of 0.1.5, and packaged it separately so you all can still enjoy it.
Also! Don't miss out on our Spooky Island Creator competition! The winning creator will receive a sketch of their island signed by our resident artist, Dan Lish. Full details can be found here.
Patch Notes
- In time for Halloween, a special spooky clothing set has been added to all Founder’s Packs! Players will find this set of cosmetics, worn by the mysterious Bargu in the faraway past, in their Stash. Like other Founder’s Pack items, these will no longer be acquirable after the conclusion of Closed Beta.
See you in the skies!
