Gott kveld Vikings!
Today im happy to reveal something we’ve been wanting to do for a long, long time... Water!
Ocean, lakes and rivers, as well as vastly improved terrain generation
0.4.1 & 0.4.0 saves should be atleast functional in this patch
With that said, I would like to announce a competition! Whoever can take the most awesome screenshots of their new and updated maps will get 3 copies of the game to give to their friends! We want to update the pictures on the steam front page, and we thought what better way to do that than with your pictures?
You can learn more about this competition on discord
Changing the landscape this much was a huge undertaking for this week, but we couldn’t just add water without fishing right?? That’s why we squeezed in a fishing hut which I hope will give you some options in terms of what kind of village you want to build
You can now also share maps with each-other with seeds! I would love to see what kind of wierd landscapes you can find :)
While we were in the process of improving the terrain we also changed these things:
- Map size has been doubled
- Camera speed and pitch is now based on a fixed value, rather than distance-to-ground
- Added wetlands texture near ocean
- Changed rock texture
Thank you for coming with awesome ideas and helping us develop this game, we look forward to delivering even more of your suggestions!
