Update 0.20.013 Stacking
Stack volume is only shown on stack-able items now. Added information about stack maximum.
Solved issue with item quality when stacked in hands via stack buttons - should be fully functional now.
Please note that drop and stack, stacking when picked up and stacking with shortcut does not work with item quality yet. This will be done shortly after drag and drop is tested.
Testing Drag to Drop Stacking

Update 0.20.011 Free Look for Screenshots
many thanks for Community feedback and added requested feature you are all looking for:
Free Look Toggle so players can now easily take screenshots using Steam F12 when using rotated 3D camera from side or front of character.
Toggle Free Look is by default assigned to "B" key.
You can reassign it in custom key bindings.
Please note - Alt is still required when you want to rotate the camera, but the camera will not return to default behind position.
Please restart Steam to force game update download.
Game Patch 0.20.010 is live - please update
managed to solve small but really annoying close inventory issue. When pressed Tab - there was a conflict between game logic and standard windows functionality, which was selecting the next button in inventory instead of closing it.
Please let Steam update your game.
(if update does not start - try to restart Steam application)

Update 0.20.008
Small update according to your feed back.
Did not realize how many will immediately try to swim back on open sea after being washed on beach :D
Please note deep water shark is meant as open sea border patrol - therefore it is lethal
- Shark zone is closer to beach
- The zone, where shark was ignoring player was removed - so he will attack immediately
- The speed of shark was doubled and is being spawned closer
- Fix with Death Menu after being killed by shark.
If you like sharks so much I will add smaller shallow water ones during future development
Beach
- removed some rock clusters that included wood and were confusing player looking similar to driftwood
- added seabed to right part of map - so it does not feel empty
AreaZ Survival Story
You like? Write and post to us...
Awaken on some beach and having no idea where I am. All I know I am completely wet and literary do have sand in every hole.
Trying to look around and everything I see is just sand, ocean, and some palm trees. And screaming seagulls.
I might have still enough power to climb up this rock. Might see something else.
After small climbing I managed to get on top. This is the good news. Well the bed news is - all I can still see is ocean and some distance rocks.
Jumped down and after impact found a strange black glossy rock. Will pick it up and have a look.
To be continued...
