0.9.4.79 Patch Notes & Announcement
==== Announcement ===
The DEMO will be TAKEN OFFLINE between 5th-11th November since we will be going into "Double-down" mode on the game, adding many missing creatures, factions, items, crafting recipes and more. As a result of all the feedback and testing we had from the demo, we think it's a good time to make our "go to Early Access plans" which includes making a special beta build on the main game, rather than having a demo.
Anyone with the demo before that time will still be able to play the demo, but it will eventually stop receiving updates.
Players will still be able to JOIN IN TESTING through the beta and anyone who already has a key from giveaways or from testing can continue to play on the main game. (Essentially anyone on discord will still be able to access and play the game one way or another).

We will also be focusing hard on streamlining and optimising features such as building and bases since right now it does not work exactly how we want. We are also remaking some of the main towns and cities to be more enjoyable and explorable.
There are also some new channels in the discord we hope to bring to your attention
The #cast-your-vote channel is for you to directly influence and help guide developers on the most important features and aspects of the game.
The #base-building-feedback channel under bugs, which has been created specifically for handling base building issues, mechanics and improvements.
