Status update of July 8th

Hello guys!

I wanted to give you a heads up of what is going on behind the scenes.

After Cold Training was published, I had this itch. No, in my head. So at 1:30 AM I jumped out of the bed for a quick night time coding and started playing with things.

The day after, Friday, I finally succeeded to make the breakthrough I needed to make this really cool thing happen. I set out to repair the game (since that change destroyed a lot of it) and, now that is done, I am working full speed on taking advantage of that breakthrough.

I can't say exactly what will make it into the next Content Patch, coming in a week or two at most, but it is definitely something that all of you are going to love, for many different reasons.

At the same time, I will be revisiting Roots and Cold Training scenarios. I am getting a lot of feedback that they are really difficult and many simply cannot make it through. I want to ensure that everything meant to be learned is a challenge, but everything that is not, is instead offered for easy access to reduce the risk of failure for occurrences not relevant to the scenario's learning checklist.

That said, Unveil is all about true survival in nature. And it is meant to be hard.
If you are stranded, you don't mine a gold mine (chopping a tree down was already stretching it). You instead scout for anything that you may find useful, and use your super smart human brain to make the most out of it.

And also, I will be taking a look at quick ways to make the game more replayable in existing scenarios. I rather not use the cheap trick of Achievements just yet (although most people haven't found any of the easter eggs so far).

Back on track: even if you won't see new patches in the next week, I ask you for a little patience. The next Content Patch will most certainly surprise you.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, support, and great reviews on the Store page. And for understanding this is not just buying a game, but being part of the journey of making a pure survival in nature simulator.

Have a good evening!
