Dear Makers,
Anymaker has been live in Early Access for just over 2 weeks, and already we are blown away with the creations, and mods that players are building. There are already 350 creations published on the Workshop, and loads of items have hundreds of subscribers.
We have been working hard to react to player feedback and improve the game with regular hotfixes. We have just released our 13th update with several important fixes, and summarize our previous updates in the notes below for convenience.
The main changes include a new tutorial system which explains survival and sandbox modes, the various game systems such as inventory, survival, combat, health, driving, as well as building and the various editing tools. We also documented items and components which now have descriptions.
Players have been providing regular feedback with 230 submissions since launch. We have been going through it, hotfixing where required, and making plans for the future major updates.
Our first major update is planned for October 30th and includes several new features that are popular player requests.
Many thanks to all players who have been playing the game, sharing creations on the workshop, or sending us your feedback.
Much love <3
