Client players can now interact ride in the HV-1 as passenger, currently only hosting player can drive the vehicle. We are still fixing an issue with the client's ability to drive the vehicle.
Save file stability in new updates has been improved with a new save file upgrading function in the save system.
Breaking tree stumps will no longer break multiplayer sessions.
Items near other players no longer glow for the local player.
Interaction range has been slightly increased so players can pick up items and interact with objects from a slightly further distance.
Characters will now properly unlock when the player using them disconnects, leaving the character free to be chosen by the next joining player.
Fixed corrupted metal axe icon in the equipped weapon display on the bottom right corner of screen.
Another issue we have recently picked up is the save and load system won't consistently load players back into their position they saved in, instead just go back to spawn. We're investigating the cause for this, but other than that everything else loads correctly.
Upcoming Content Sneak Peak.
Let's take a peak into what's coming soon this year. We'd like to share what we are bringing to the game in May's update and give a little tease to what will be happening in August.
CALL TO ARMS - May Content/Quality of Life Update This update plans to include a complete rework to the Workbench, improving it's UI and functionality. This station will not only be used for crafting anymore, it will now also be used for repairing weapons/tools as we plan to introduce degradation, and last but not least, customising firearm attachments. Firearms will receive a range of attachments to apply improvements on your selected firearm.
Map Location Markers. Newly discovered locations will become marked on the player's GPS to help with familiarising yourself with the map as you discover it. Player's will also be able to craft waypoint markers to drop behind in locations they wish to remember to come back to, such as bases.
Raid Missions. We plan to introduce a new NPC in the night crawler group at the active night villages. Offering rewards for completing small strike missions to cripple The Corocotta and help the group with their needs. Rewards will include gold, xp and any loot you obtain from the mission.
There's a lot more to coming with this update that we'll go into more detail on as we get closer. These are just some of the main highlights.
VERDANT SECTOR - August Content Expansion We've also begun early production on August's major content update. We call this an expansion as we plan to expand the map in a pretty big and unconventional way, with plenty of interesting areas to explore, new missions to do, new weapons to obtain, new enemies to face, and more. We'll touch more on this a little bit later.
Can't wait to share more of the upcoming content with you all. Massive thank you to everyone for the incredible support in our first few weeks of launch!
FURTIVE v0.1.5 Patch Release
Release Notes
Major performance stuttering has been fixed. Our next steps will be to achieve a higher FPS.

Added a new skill tree for upgrading inventory capacity up to 100, mastery level lets players keep their toolbar items after death.
Added repair functionality to the building hammer, allowing the player to repair damaged structures using 1 wood log per third of maximum health of the building object.
Changed Toolbar UI placement in the inventory item window to be more prominent, with an added header.
Adjusted spawnrates of soldiers, wildlife, helicopter patrols, and boats. Let us know if these rates need further tweaking.

FURTIVE Official Trailer Out Now
The official trailer for FURTIVE is out now. Along with it comes new gameplay screenshots on our store page. Wishlist FURTIVE now if you haven't already!
FURTIVE now releasing 29 March 2024
FURTIVE will now be releasing in Early Access 29 March 2024. Stay tuned on our socials for more posts coming over the next few weeks.
This is a delay from our 2023 release plans we wanted to stick to, but meeting that time frame became more and more unrealistic due to the remaining workload. We are however completely locked in on this date and have begun doing more non-remote work sessions together to achieve this goal. We have chosen to go with an Early Access release to give a period of time for us to act on player feedback related directly to any issues we missed in testing and such, we expect to be out of it as soon as we are satisfied with the state of the launch build, and of course we will continue to grow the game from there.
In terms of testing we wanted to plan another playtest as soon as we can, so for players interested in that we will have news for you very soon. Thanks everyone!
