Hi everyone, we’re excited to let you know that Version 0.0.10.12 (Nature Update) is now Live!
There is a lot of features being added to this version, especially if you’re comparing it with the previous public build (V.0.0.9.11), however, for some of you who have played the tester’s branch (V.0.0.10.12.S.1), the improvements may not be as significant. Because of this, we’ll be comparing this version with our previous public build (V.0.0.9.11) and the current Beta build (V.0.0.10.12.S.1) for better clarity. Let’s get started:
Compared with previous public build (Compared with V.0.0.9.11):
Major Overhaul:
• Map/Environment. The map has been greatly overhauled, from the addition of weather system, day and night cycle, dynamic shaders, and the inclusion of several new biomes such as the redwood swamps, conifer forest, and more!
Added:
• Weather system. Weather has been added to the game.
• Day and night cycle. Day and night cycle has been added to the game.
